Trump should announce publicly that once he’s sworn into office his DOJ would expedite any extradition request Mexico makes for Eric Holder and anyone from the BATF who participated in Fast and Furious.

Also the Republican House should recall Holder and ask him the same questions he refused to answer previously. When he does it again he should be referred to Trump’s DOJ for prosecution.

But let the Mexicans have him first. The thought of Holder rotting in a Mexican prison warms my black heart immensely.

A group of states has no standing to sue a state conducting election fraud in national elections. No standing.
Mexico wants to sue American gun makers.... no problem.

Yes allow the lawsuit. Then let us sue Mexico for making assault Mexicans and enabling the trafficking of illegal assault Mexicans into the US - fueling gun violence, human trafficking, fraud, and other violent crimes..

SCOTUS refused to hear a case between about half of the States against the States with questionable vote tabulations, but they make time for this? They need to tell Mexico to pound sand.

Mexico can sue God!

HE made Lead, components of Brass, the chemical elements of propellents, and the human brain that conceived and produced guns.

Shouldn’t they be suing Barack Obama for the “Fast and Furious” fiasco?
