According to Pelosi, Grassley is just saying this to try to keep people who aren’t like him from voting.
Well, aside the Obama BC thing, local host (Jay Severin, I think) said that Issa et al already have the documents they seek from white house... the ones they have are copies that someone sent to him. They already know what’s in them, but need to get them legally to be able to charge anyone. When they began demanding specific docs with specific page numbers, ODrama decided to invoke the Privilege.
Not to mention, several of a O’s college term papers...ones not written by Bill Ayers.
All seriousness aside...this is unraveling fast for Holder/Obama.
Good.
My question: If the full House votes for contempt, does it still have to go thru the Senate for a vote?
This is getting a little tiresome. F&F was NOT a gun-tracking program and it was NOT botched - it was uncovered. Until then it was going perfectly to plan - the guns were moving to Mexico and Obama's anti-2nd Amendment campaign was cranking up.
You would think by now that an organization like "The Hill" would have figured that out. It's been common knowledge on FR for over a year. Can't these guys read?
There is something funny going on with Issa’s document request. Correct me if I’m wrong but this is how it looks:
Issa is now only looking to receive documents that are post Feb 2011 and therefore only relate to a possible F&F coverup and not the operational details (who authorized, how high did it go etc.)
Jay Carney is claiming that Issa has all the documents that he asked for related to the operational aspects of F&F, the ones that would answer the questions about who, what, when and where of the operation itself.
I cannot believe that Carney is telling the truth.
But, I don’t get the Issa rational for removing the request for the pre Feb 2011 documents. I don’t buy the argument that he has a batch of documents supplied by a whistleblower. He does have some possibly if not probably incriminating wire tap documents but I think that’s it. There must be much more that he doesn’t have.
So what’s going on here?
They simply can’t quit using that word “botched”, even if it is a lie.
So if all docs have been released, why don’t we know who’s responsible?
Why do we still not know who is going to be held accountable for decisions that led to Brian Terry’s death?
It is folly to talk about what’s been released or not - the reason the docs are needed is to be able to identify the individual(s) responsible.
It might be there all right, completely redacted and covered over with black ink, like many of the documents already delivered.
To the half of America that half pays attention to the news, "Fast and Furious" is still a B-rated action movie. This scandal will gain much more traction if we shift the meme over to MURDERGATE. When liberals whine and ask why we call it Murdergate, just say, "Because nobody was murdered at the Watergate."
“GOP Senator: White House Claims About Document Hand-Over Are ‘Hogwash’,” and Sen. Grassley knows a thing or two about HOG-wash!
