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.

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.

Of course SOME racist's PIGS are calling this a witch hunt or even worse,, a RACIST Witch Hunt but we ALL know that they'd say THIS if Obama or Holder were proven to be a mass murderer.. After ALL.. It's not the ACT that determines whether it's criminal or not.. It's WHO'S doing the CRIME.... And,, It's NOT the CRIMINALS in these cases that are wrong.. It's THOSE who point them OUT
Bush had a similar program but HIS program was quite a bit different.. he worked WITH the cooperation and permission of the Mexican Government.. Obama did NOT and created an INTERNATIONAL Incident.. SOME experts actually say that arming a CRIMINAL organization that is a DIRECT threat to the host Government is an ACT OF WAR...
Bush ENDED the program when it became apparent that even WITH the alliance of the Mexican Government,, it was a dangerous proposition.. Obama REINSTITUTED the program,, despite KNOWING these dangers,, because it suited his Anti Gun,, Pro Gun Control agenda and because Obama IS,, more then anything else,, a POLITICAL Left Wing Hack,, Americans DIED as a DIRECT result of HIS and Holder's action..
Now,, THIS busines...

Now,, THIS business of Contempt of Congress is little different then instituting SANCTIONS against a ROGUE State that could care LESS if their people go hungry..
Neither Obama nor Holder have ANY respect for the Constitution nor the Law.. NOR do they have ANY concerns over their Legacies.. They will forever go down in HISTORY as the FIRST in their respective jobs and when it comes to any criticisms regarding their performance or ANY Legal actions that might result from that,, they are ready for THAT one too..
It's ALL because America is a RACIST'S country..
It's a WIN-WIN situation for America's FIRST Black President who ALSO turned out to BE her most racist's President as well..
Fast and Furious,, Like the Voter ID verification eforts by the various states,, SHOULD be something that the DOJ is interrested in..
Holder SHOULD be going into these hearings with demonstarble PROGRESS reports into these F&F investigations instead of STONEWALLING the Congress in THEIR attempts to do the DOJ's job because the DOJ refuses to do it..
The very FACT that the DOJ,, under Holder and Obama,, ARE working AGAINST any attempts to get to the root of these CRIMES is CRIMINAL in and of itself..
NIXON got into trouble for trying to cover up a WIRETAP and has been VILLIFIED as America's most CORRUPTED President ever since.. What we have HERE is a thousand times WORSE and Obama/Holder is being defended by those very same peopleb who condemned Nixon..
It barely registers on the radar of any but the most extreme ideologues who do not care for truth, or justice- but whose only aim is to remove the first African American President from office- and coincidentally- the first African American Attorney General.
And it's such a STUPID and shortsighted issue for Issa to base his witch hunt upon.
But I encourage all rightwingers to keep attacking all of the brown people in AMerica-
Please.
That Agent gave his life for a GOOD cause.. Obama's GUN CONTROL Agenda...
An International Incident which the shortsighted Mexican Government felt was issue enough to protest about.. What amounts to an ACT of WAR in ANY International Court..
And NOW we hear that the Mexican Government is recalling the Mexican Army from it's war on the Drug Cartels,, PROBABLY because the Drug Cartels are ARMED better..
NOW the ONLY thing standing between those AMERICAN armed Drug Cartels and the American People in our Southern States is,, WHAT??
That "Big Stick " of Obama's that Biden was bragging about???
it's a witch hunt.
and a stupid and distracting one.
