The House Oversight Committee released a scathing report Wednesday that accuses former Attorney General Eric Holder and his Department of Justice of covering up Operation Fast and Furious and misleading Congress’ investigation into the botched gun-running operation.

The nearly 300-page report states that the Justice Department under Holder actively tried to hide the facts from the loved ones of slain Border Patrol Brian Terry — seeing his family as more of a “nuisance” than one deserving straight answers — and at times being openly hostile to them. […]

The report also says that Holder’s Justice Department stonewalled inquiries from Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and deceptively told him that the “ATF makes every effort to interdict” firearms purchased by straw buyers. The controversial act of straw purchases — where a person who is prohibited from buying firearms uses another person to buy a gun on his or her behalf — has been a popular method that Mexico’s drug cartels use to obtain guns. …

I’m not impressed with the word, “slams”.

I would like to see the word, “slammer” somewhere in the article, though.

My sentiments exactly. Maybe Trey Gowdy can “slam” them and make them feel bad publicly for a few minutes before he goes on to actually doing nothing.

I tire of this stuff getting exposed followed by no consequences.

The main thing, at this point, is whether or not he’s charged and brought to trial or whether they let him skate.

Let’s see... he’s a democrat and a minority... Justice will not be served. the swamp will retain this denizen and many others that will also skate.

misleading Congress

Every time there's an oopsie, Congress claims it was mislead. What a bunch of bozos, not. No one was mislead. They all knew exactly what was going on and they did nothing to stop it. They're all criminals.

Holder knows he will never be held accountable in a court of law.

He laughed at congress when they declared him to be in contempt.

And now he is laughing all the way to the bank with the money California is paying him to fight President Trump.

Arrest the POS.

He will be shaking on his squatty potty for fear of a sternly worded letter from them.

Ditto here. What will Sessions do? If nothing, time to look at another AG.

“Oh, wow, they “slammed” him. They need to put him in the slammer.”

I’ll bet it was strongly worded too.

lol Youre right

But I was too young to know what Bush I really was, too busy chasing girls during the Clinton years, didn’t realize till the end that GW was about as far from conservative as there is, and then everything sank in at once

Won’t be fooled again.

Romney and mccain really turned out to be POS

Wow.
