Holder is going to get off Scot-free. The fix is in.
Ask yourselves: why is Darrell Issa the only one asking any semblance of tough questions? What will this vote accomplish? And why has nothing happened in a year and a half after a good man died?
If you can't find a virtuous man, try to find a man of ambition. Where is John Boehner's ambition?
Blackmail is a standard part of Democratic Party political practice. What could they have on Boehner, to keep him from blowing the lid off this thing a year ago?
Fast and furious contempt citation. Big deal?

Next Wednesday, the House of Representatives will vote on whether to
cite Eric Holder, Attorney General, for contempt of Congress. The House
scheduled that vote after Holder kept withholding information on
Operation Fast and Furious, and after Rep. Darrell Issa showed that
Holder knows more than he’s telling. But that citation, even if it
passes, will be too little, too late.
The Fast and Furious cover-up
The facts about Operation Fast and Furious should “infuriate” anyone.
Since 2009, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
ordered gun stores in four border States to let known gangsters buy
guns. ATF said it meant to track those guns as the gangsters
carried them across the border. They did not. A year and a half ago, a
US border agent died in a gun battle. Two of the guns that those gangsters bought from those gun stores turned up at the murder scene.
In January of 2011, the House of Representatives changed
hands. When Darrell Issa (R-CA) became chairman of the House Committee
on Oversight and Government Reform, he started looking into Fast and
Furious. The more he found, the angrier he got, or so it seems. No doubt
Eric Holder, whose department includes ATF, would have preferred that
no one hear of Fast and Furious outside of his department and Issa’s
committee. But men like David Codrea and Mike Vanderboegh covered the
story almost at once. And in February of 2011, CBS News became the first
old-line news organ to cover the story.
But despite the tireless work of men like Codrea and Vanderboegh, nothing meaningful has happened.
Contempt citation
Will something meaningful now happen? At 1:00 a.m. today, WND warned
that the full House might vote to cite Holder for contempt of Congress.
Issa and others used that phrase a few times last year, but nothing
came of it. The WND report came suddenly. Two hours later came this report by CBS’ Sharyl Attkisson: the House would vote on June 20 to consider
citing Holder for contempt. (Attkisson also bragged about being first
to expose Operation Fast and Furious nationally. That clearly nettled Codrea and Vanderboegh.)
Considering that CBS got to the whistleblowers through
David and me (and we have the emails to prove it), that last statement
[by Attkisson] is a cheeky bit of hubris.
See also this report in The Washington Times, which Newsmax.com reprinted.
Vanderboegh, besides calling Attkisson for exaggerating her own importance, also said,
Now we find out what Issa, Boehner, and the GOP leadership are made of.
Sadly, we probably know what those men are made of: hot air, straw, or both.
Fast and Furious already contemptible

Anyone who has followed Codrea, Vanderboegh, or this space knows that Eric Holder has already poured contempt on Congress from the beginning. Nick Purpura, CNAV contributor and activist, puts it this way:
Eric Holder has been in contempt of Congress. And here we are, a year and a half after someone died, and we have seen no action? Are you kidding me?
Purpura reserved most of his anger, not for Holder, but for John Boehner, Speaker of the House.
Boehner has no excuse for not taking action. He should have charged Holder last year for obstruction of justice, tampering with evidence, and accessory to murder.
Purpura also chided Boehner for not looking into Barack Obama’s
eligibility to be President. He has earlier pointed out that, under the
Presidential Succession Act of 1947 as amended, Boehner could remove both Obama and Joe Biden from their offices and become Acting President.
Why won’t he act, even when he would serve his own
ambition by acting? Holder, Obama, and their friends must have something
on Boehner, and he is afraid to act.
Purpura does not expect the House to do anything, vote or no:
What are they waiting for? For [Mitt] Romney to win, so that all these issues go away?
He has a point. The voters can certainly remove Obama, Holder, and
all the rest from office. But without formal charges, Holder especially
will get away with:
- Murder, and
- Planting “throw-down” weapons to justify more gun control State-side.

You have just about proved the point I have made for the last year and a half: this whole operation was one big throw-down.
a gun traced to the operations is totally unrelated to anything relevant to the operation. I read three or four years ago of several guns being traced from crime scenes in Arizona to a particular gun shop in Mesa. All of them had been properly
registered when sold. Of course, the purchases were no where to be found. The gun trade in military style weapons is a dirty and sordid business at best. Trying to make Eric Holder a victim of the operation's mistaken purposes is much like trying to make Obama responsible for the war in Iraq, or Harry Truman responsible for the war in Europe.... All of these inherited a mess when they took office and did the best they could with the circumstances.
It is so obvious that the RWNJs have no ability to form a platform or plans to better the world of tomorrow. They are a band of undereducated and rather simple minded sorts, having no idea of where they are or how they came to be there, in their despondent state of economic collapse and unemployment. So, they have spent the past four years whining and crying about dozens of allegations that the "black man in the White House" and his Administration have done harm or caused something they dislike. Pathetic small minds, mostly red necks from small southern states, these people have nothing to offer but spin and complaining. That won't win elections or be helpful to the Nation.
This chattering about "Operation Fast and Furious" is just another such whine from the Farside. It will pass when the blowhards and tea baggers of Congress have their day on Fox media propaganda and Limbaugh and Beck grow tired of ranting about the story.
to fry the contemptible SOB!
Mr. Boehner: Stop Crying And Grow A Spine. You Don't Cut Deals With Wrongdoers.!!
Cornyn should fry his butt!

Even if the MSM went after Holder with the same fervor as they did with Nixon, would the result manifest itself before Obama and the rest of his administration were a thing of the past.
What stinks is that we elect these lame a**es and they have demonstrated that they don't have the guts to do the right thing; to demand Holder's impeachment/resignation, then throw the book at him. So much for representing their constiuents. Clowns.
By By Eric (did you even think about the fact that you will not get SS protection when you signed on to be Obama's hired goon ? ) LOL
