Issa Issues Subpoena to Holder in Fast and Furious Investigation (BREAKING)
fox ^ | 10/12/2011 | fn

Posted on 10/12/2011 7:49:05 AM PDT by milwguy

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.

This is bad mojo from the outset. The saudis might use it to go after iran even though they know better. The Israelis know better, but it’s an excuse as well. The US has stepped in it big time.

I agree, it doesn't pass the smell test.

This Administration is strictly "Amature Hour" and this is being done to distract the sheeple from the serious scandals that are coming to a head.

It is a sad thing when you cannot trust your own government. Whoever replaces this administration has one hell of a clean-up job ahead.

"They better wait until after the election to charge Holder with anything or else Obama will just pardon him."

Obama can pardon him, regardless, for any crimes he may have committed (see Ford's pardon of Nixon). But Obama won't dare to until after the election - we need to get Holder indicted and (hopefully) convicted before the 2012 election so the public will learn the truth.

"I’m sure Issa possesses something which assures that won’t happen. He wouldn’t be demanding those documents if (A) he wasn’t sure they existed, and (B) wasn’t sure they can be obtained. He knows about shredders, matches, and delete buttons."

The specificity of dates, and in some cases the small windows of 3 or 4 days correspondence with a particular official, make me believe Issa already has the documents - and Holder probably will realize that as well. The narcissist-in-chief has to decide whether the Iran diversion has enough legs to stall all this (doubtful) and whether it is better to throw Holder under the bus sooner or later (my bet is sooner; Holder will resign to take a high (payoff) position in the Obama re-election campaign and claim he just couldn't leave before the Iran operation was wrapped up).

Now the question is: "What did the President know, and when did he know it?"

Holder has something on everyone, including Klintoons. Question is; does this make him safer or more in danger himself?

He's using the "Terrorist card" he and Oboma had stashed away in their back pocket. They were saving it for a rainy day.

Well, it was pouring at the DOJ, so out it came!

They jumped ahead to control the media cycle. It is working, that is what most of the MSM, cable shows are talking about. Not Fast and Furious Holder subpoena.

I believe the late Commerce Sec Ron Brown could provide a clue to what may become of Atty Gen Holder...........Bill Clinton appointed Ron Brown Commerce Secretary, partly as a reward for Ron Brown’s success as a campaign fund raiser. From day one, allegations surrounded the exact means and methods by which this success was attained. Investigations into Ron Brown’s activities (his son would later plead guilty to money laundering) were nearing the point of indictments, and Ron Brown had publicly stated that he would not go to jail alone, when the airplane carrying Ron Brown and about 30 other people crashed in Bosnia.

It is worth noting that Ron Brown was just one of four Clinton campaign fund raisers to die under questionable circumstances. The others were C. Victor Raiser II, Hershel Friday, and Ed Willey, a total of three plane crashes and one “Fosterization”. Following Brown’s demise, his personal attorney as well as a co-worker at the Department of Commerce,

Pretty stupid to use this one - admitting that the southern border is wide OPEN!!

Obama: "The southern border is more secure today than at any time in the past 20 years."

Knowing this administration, I feel fairly certain that “O” has already hired a “Document Thief/Destroyer Czar”. ( remember Sandy Berger?)

All hard drives will ‘accidentally’ be dropped into water, and black magic markers will be frantically wiping away any damaging testimony from emails, documents, memos and letters.

All PAPER TRAILS will be dissolved. Eric Holder will walk free and clear. (if “O” hired the ‘right’ CZAR!)

If Obama pardons Holder, could we extradite him to Mexico? This guy has blood on his hands. He deserves to be in jail.

Somebody needs to be watching/taping the DOJ building and any nearby dumpsters for document dumping!
