Eric Holder gave false info. to a Congressional Committee last May about ATF operations tied to the deaths of two U.S. Agents; we have the proof.
(SALEM, Ore.) - New information indicates that U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder's actions are squarely behind the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms) operation known as "Fast and Furious", which orchestrated the delivery of almost 2,000 weapons to Mexican drug cartels[1].
Holder openly proclaimed his connection to the operation in April 2009 during a publicized speech in Mexico, then told a Congressional Committee in May 2011, "I probably heard of Fast and Furious the first time in the last few weeks."[2]
The ATF weapons smuggling ring involved the arrest of several government officials with the city of Columbus, New Mexico including the mayor and police chief, but that is all[3].

Here’s the smoking-gun speech of Eric Holder, April of 2009:

and you point is what?
My point, no one died over Watergate.
People died as a result of this redicules program.
What does Impeachment, Waco and Vince Foster have to do with any of that?
WARNING: THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS SITE. THE ‘INTFIDA” - PALESTINE something or other Ad/Link has disappeared from the column on the right.
It is a pro HAMAS/PLA site.
Why would the Salem-Times.com accept ads from our enemies?
I would treat this article and site with extreme care because it may not be what it seems to be.
Your point seems to be that since people died over gunwalker and not watergate, It should be taken as a much more serious matter, and greater punishment should result.
Have I got it so far?
Nixon at least had to decency to resign when he was busted.
You seem to miss that fact that since the Carter/Clinton/Soetero communist era of American presidency, the government IS NOT held accountable for killing innocent Americans.
Remember Ron Brown?
“Your point seems to be that since people died over gunwalker and not Watergate, It should be taken as a much more serious matter, and greater punishment should result.”
That was my point exactly, not seemingly, so you are correct although I was not referencing the degree of punishment. I was addressing the subject at hand and not trying to expand on it which you did and which points I did not follow as to me they were out of context without a lead in explanation to them. Given the explanation, I see where you were going.
Fast and Furious is right out there in the open and does not require supposition. The facts are simple, the government allowed straw purcheses of firearms and in some cases provided them with the financial resources to do it. The firearms went to Mexico where Mexican nationals were killed and at least 2 US agents were killed also. A host of firearms are out there in criminal hands on both sides of the boarder. The Justice Department is trying to quell the damage by a cover up. Those are the facts and they are incontrovertible.
IMO, criminal charges aside, at a minimum Holder should be fired and forced to give up Soetero or go to jail.
I totally agree with your opinion, there should at least be jail time. However, the constitution allows for capital punishment for treason.
My purpose is not to debate punishment, but to inform people who seem to be unaware of the historical precedents for dealing with the criminal activities of a sitting US president.
Yes, this is worse than Watergate. So were Clinton’s many crimes, but all he lost was his law license.
Congress will not put Obama or Holder away for this. Holder may just resign resign to save the POTUS punk and get another job in Chicago.
