Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, sent a subpoena Wednesday to Attorney General Eric Holder as part of his investigation into the gun trafficking operation known as "Fast and Furious." "Top Justice Department officials, including Attorney General Holder, know more about Operation Fast and Furious than they have publicly acknowledged," the California Republican said in a statement. "The documents this subpoena demands will provide answers to questions that Justice officials have tried to avoid since this investigation began eight months ago. It's time we know the whole truth." The subpoena seeks, among other things, all communications regarding the operation from 16 top Justice officials, including Holder, his chief of staff, Gary Grindler, and the head of the department's criminal division, Lanny Breuer, as well as correspondence on specific dates to and from the former head of the ATF's Phoenix field division, William Newell. It also asks for all documents and communications referring or relating to the murder of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Agent Jaime Zapata, including any correspondence outlining the details of Zapata's mission at the time he was murdered. Congressional investigators are demanding information regarding the investigation into the death of U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry.

Great news, let’s get this in the Breaking News sidebar for maximum exposure.
WOOOOHOOOOO!
Anybody seen him certifiably alive lately?
Finally
Cue up the shredders........and watch computers start to disappear...
Did you look at center page on Drudge? LOL
Obama does Pittsburg in 2008 as opposed to 2011.
Priceless!
I noticed that immediately. It is quite likely ISSA has someone else feeding him info that Holder and Justice are unaware of.
When Zapata was gunned down in Mexico, I am sure a lot of his fellow agents felt totally betrayed. DOJ had not informed the Mexican gov’t or our agents there about F&F. I am quite certain there is a paper trail regarding the attack on Zapata that leads very high up into DOJ and probably the WH. Stay tuned.
Victor Bout —that’s the Russian arms dealer on whom the Nicolas Cage movie, “The Lord of War” was based: he’s on trial now in the USA for his various crimes.
Know what he did?
He was dealing arms to drug-dealer gangs in Latin America.
He didn’t need tax revenue to do it, either. And he also wasn’t deliberately undermining anyone’s Constitution.
THINK ABOUT THE IRONY.
(link)...............Elena Kagan was part of the Ogden - Holder group...she is now part of the SCOTUS...what was her knowledge of Fast and Furious?
The guy is the absolute definition of a weasel.
I would not be surprised to see Mr. O’Reilly get hit with an IED and come back to the US in pieces. If I was him, I would be in touch with ISSA and offer to sing in return for protection. I put nothing past Obama and Holder.
The guy is the absolute definition of a weasel.
They better wait until after the election to charge Holder with anything or else Obama will just pardon him.
And Zapata was not allowed to carry a gun in Mexico. A defenseless sitting duck.
I saw it and posted it in the Rasmussen thread. ;-)
That cartoon is brilliant.
