Rep. Chaffetz Subpoenas ATF Agents Involved in Obama’s Fast and Furious Op
Breitbart ^ | 3-10-2017 | Bob Price

Posted on 03/11/2017 6:38:00 AM PST by tcrlaf

Utah Congressman Jason Chaffetz subpoenaed two agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) to appear before his committee in connection with the Obama Administration’s gun-running program, Fast and Furious.

Firearms from the former president’s scheme were allegedly involved in the 2011 murder of Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agent Jaime Zapata in Mexico.

Chaffetz, who serves as chairman of the House Oversight Committee issued the subpoenas after the two ATF agents failed to appear voluntarily before the committee. “I’m tired of hearing from just [Justice Department] management, I want to hear from the people that actually are on the front lines doing this,” Chaffetz told Fox News.

There isn’t anyone here who has been here during all of the Muslim President’s reign that doesn’t understand the cause - and it had nothing to do with quality, frankly.

The key difference now is in being able to do something about it.

Maybe it is a good thing that VJ and Holden are hanging out at the new Obama club house.

Once the trials begin, they will not have so far to travel.

[Put them under oath or it is meaningless...]

They would probably lie under oath, the left does not respect God nor man, though they day will come when they bow the knee to the Lord Jesus and such lies will be recompensed on their own heads for what they did. Then will be brought to pass the Scripture truth,

...and all liars shall have their part in the Lake of Fire”

I think Holder is sequestered in Tom Steyer’s house.

I recall all this also. The process was bad, all steming from corrupt leadership.

“Put them under oath or it is meaningless...”

My thoughts as well. If he doesn’t do such, and is just trying to pretend there’s some sort of investigation, thinking he’s making some sort of respectable name for himself, he’s about as worthless as Trey Gowdy, and will only succeed in making the F&F operation go down in history as a big nothing burger, a conservative witch hunt, with no justice for the dead and their families resulting from democrat gun running. Chafetz has turned out to be quite the disappointment, like quite a few others, who obtained office running as a TEA Party rebellion candidate, IMHO. Hope he’s genuinely out for blood in his investigation.

How about David Codrea? Sipsey Street Irregulars was the beginning of the exposure point. David has taken a very low profile since Mike Vanderboegh died. He knows a lot about this.

What he, and Holder for that matter, need is to be extradited to Mexico to face charges there.

There is nothing more than I would like to see people starting to be charged with the crimes they committed, but you think that Chaffetz is your man, your in the wrong back yard...

He is up against ‘Egg McMuffin’ and he is scared to death that he will not be returning to the ‘swamp’ if this happens...

Chaffetz is NOT the person you think he is, and neither is Mike Lee or Hatch...they are ‘never trumpers’ to the end...

I’ll believe it when I see them show up in Congress for the hearings. I’m sure they will have removed their jack boots before they arrive, and probably show up in Hello Kitty pajamas.

Eric Holder needs to appear in court and be prosecuted for perjury, and Obama for obstructing justice by unlawfully asserting executive privilege when one did not exist and was eventually thrown out by the court.

" I don't think "I was just following orders!" is going to apply, here. "

Exactly. Knowing Chaffetz, he'll go all Gowdy on them and holler and say "THAT DEFENSE DIDN'T WORK AT NUREMBURG!!", and not throw the book at them but have them publicly flogged in some way...

And then let Holder et al get away with it.

Sorry for being so cynical, but with this latest deal with Lyin Ryan and his "plan" for 0-care...

Trump or no Trump, Republicans gonna be Republicans, at least until proven otherwise.

If they don’t show up the next step is for the DOJ to call for a Federal Grand Jury.
