On Wednesday the House Oversight Committee, chaired by outgoing Congressman Jason Chaffetz, will hold a hearing re-examining Operation Fast and Furious and the Obama administration's handling of the scandal.
The goals of the hearing are to "identify what the new officials at the Department of Justice can learn from the mistakes made by their predecessors in responding to Congress's inquiry" and "to understand the effect of the Justice Department's obstruction on these witnesses."
As a refresher, Operation Fast and Furious was a program implemented under the Obama Justice Department (headed by Attorney General Eric Holder) and the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms between September 2009 and December 2010. ATF agents under the direction of DOJ purposely allowed Mexican cartels to traffic thousands of rifles south of the border from U.S. gun shops. Hundreds of people were murdered as a result, including Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry on December 15, 2010. I.C.E. Agent Jaime Zapata was also killed as a consequence of similar program run by DOJ and ATF out of Texas.

Eric has nothing to worry about. California is a sanctuary state and refuses to extradite.
I doubt it. The relevant investigators will be reminded that their grandchildren would have to grow up without kneecaps-or worse.
I agree with you. This is for show. Let’s see a DOJ investigation of the matter followed by indictments.
The GOPe Congress is a circular firing squad.
Holder: What Barry and I attempted was to tarnish the 2nd amendment, so we could impose gun control on the populace.
So what, we’re black and ‘Rat. Can’t touch that.

Good. They all ought to go to jail.
You are right it is for show. To show just how corrupt/ and criminal the former administration and the Democrats were.
.
You’ve got it. Holder lied under oath and covered up numerous felonies he made his people commit. Obama covered up for Holder which is a crime since people died and Holder lied.
We could get both of these leftist, white-hating cretins on perjury charges and maybe others such as “aiding and abetting a crime/criminal organization”, “criminally negligent behavior”, “reckless endangerment” (i.e. gives guns to known criminals/organization esp. without tracers on them, etc.
Fill the jails with the Obamites and throw away the keys. Then hire Sheriff Arpaio to run the jails. Pink panties (one of Obie’s favorites) and bologna sandwiches would be worth a million bucks as a photo.
This is a positive step in the right direction.
Lock Holder Up
No, nothing will come of it. Article States the goal is to “learn from mistakes” so the government stooges don’t get discovered next time is my guess.
