Issa Admits White House Wasn’t Involved In Fast And Furious ‘Coverup’ (VIDEO)
June 24, 2012
By





Last
week, President Obama asserted executive privilege over some documents
involved in Fast and Furious, the program that sold guns to Mexico and
which resulted in the death of a US border guard and 200 Mexicans.


The right, led by Darrell Issa (R-CA), has tried to turn the
operation into a Watergate type scandal. Despite the fact that House
Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) made much hay of the fact that the President
asserted executive privilege, even Issa admitted today on Fox News that
the President is not involved in a coverup.


From Raw Story:


Fox News host Chris Wallace on Sunday asked Oversight
Committee Chairman Darrel Issa (R-CA) if he had any evidence to support
Boehner’s claim.





“No, we don’t,” Issa admitted. “And what we are seeking are documents
that we know to exist, February 4 to December [2011] that are in fact
about [Border Patrol agent] Brian Terry’s murder — who knew, and why
people were lying about it.”


“No evidence at this point that the White House is involved in a cover up?” Wallace pressed.


“And I hope that they don’t get involved,” Issa replied.


Here’s the video:



So, if the President isn’t the target of the investigation, why is Issa wasting taxpayer time and money?


Republicans are conducting massive voter purge and voter ID efforts throughout Republican led states such as Florida and Texas. Eric Holder,
the Attorney General and the main target of Issa’s investigation, is
shutting them down. It’s a simple political witch hunt geared toward
disenfranchising traditionally Democratic voters such as Latinos and
young people

    Why would they begin that slippery slope to oblivion? Admit one mistake, like thirty years of "Reaganomics" or the disaster called "conservative agenda", and pretty soon a lot of people would put 2 and 2 together and say, "What the hell have these loonies done to my America"? They have to continue the charade of having caused no harm or they become a footnote to history.

    Only thing you're right about in your conclusions is Holder is a target, and that there's no evidence the White House was in on it.

    It's very clear there is a coverup, it's just Holder and the DOJ that are doing it.

    Holder claimed he never heard of Fast and Furious until it went public.

    Then when shown proof that the operation was part of his daily briefings months before that his excuse was he doesn't read those daily briefings. I mean just how bad does the truth have to be for a high ranking government official to openly claim to skipping a major part of his duties?

    Holder and the DOJ have repeatedly made false statements during this investigation, and did their best to keep the truth from coming out.


    On a side note, Interesting job on quoting Issa, did you used to do audio editing for NBC?

    Your quote:
    “No evidence at this point that the White House is involved in a cover up?” Wallace pressed. “And I hope that they don’t get involved,” Issa replied.

    The full statement:
    “And I hope they don’t get involved,” he said. “I hope this stays at Justice. And I hope that Justice cooperates, because ultimately, Justice lied to the American people on Feb. 4 and didn’t make it right for 10 months.”

    ODD. I tend not grant a great deal of credibility to Congressman who have been convicted of crimes and was accused of grand theft auto several times, and who has a tendency to grandstand to the press about matters that are only the business of the Congressional Committee he ( mysteriously). heads. Call me a cynic but partisan politics in an election year are suspicious to me. Especially from someone of Issa's reputation.

    And I don't grant respect or credibility to Government Officials who lie repeatedly under oath.

    Once again Holder's defense when he was caught lying is that he doesn't actually read the morning briefings that tell him what his department is doing.

    That he's either too lazy or too incompetent to perform part of the duties of his position.

    Either option should get him fired, and replaced with someone who can do the work.

    Is that supposed to be my thoughts?

    Wow, you missed that so far I'm pretty sure your shot landed in the wrong county.

    Well except the SOB part. Holder has proven himself one multiple times. Maybe if he hadn't admitted openly his desire to brainwash the public I'd have a little respect for him.

    Actually no I have a bit of respect for him admitting it openly. It's like the guy I saw sitting on the side of the road a few years back with a sign reading:

    I'm broke, and I need a drink.

    Hard not to respect honesty like that.

    then if the white house had no involvement with F&F; then his executive privilege call should be null and void... hes just covering holders ass

    This has more to do with covering the ass of the Gov. of Florida , Rick Scott because Holder is after him for scrubbing voter registries of legitimate voters.

    wow your pulling out the lamest excuses ive ever heard... say that again about texas and south carolina and the current thats that already have similar laws like this

    polls show majority of the citizens of florida encourage what he is doing

    the florida courts have ruled he is acting legally... you must be behind in the news then they have pulled names left and right that should have been off the voters list decades ago
  • joseph ... ManBearPig 2012/06/29 04:06:31

    The Florida courts are irrelevant since this is a federal issue pursuant to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. They have no authority or jurisdiction over the issue whatever .
  • ManBearPig joseph ... 2012/06/29 20:11:02
    ManBearPig
    irrelevant? since it is the secretary of the state that collects the votes and authorizes them to the national election, it is within the states rights to analyze voting issues within the states

    and the voting rights act is about voting discrimination, not making sure non-citizens and people that are not on the voter registration lists are voting... if it shows that they are using the action to discriminate voters then the federal gov't has inclination to come in and step in but since the facts have shown that they are updating the lists to take out any deceased people and others who should have been taken off the list when they were suppose to... your claim is still irrelevant

    and since you do not live in FL, you do not know the situation about this except for what CNN and MSNBC discuss
  • joseph ... ManBearPig 2012/06/29 20:17:33
    joseph digristina
    Not irrelevant. Florida is one 14 states that's policies are over ridden specifically by the Voting Right Act because of it's history of racism, Since the Voting Rights Act was renewed, those policies apply, Florida MUST comply with Federal law. Wrong again....Holder has every right to
    dictate to Scott and Florida, has, will, and will continue to do so. GET A FREAKING CLUE!
  • ManBearPig joseph ... 2012/06/29 20:58:53
    ManBearPig
    did you even read what the act states? it means the gov't can act against states if they see states DISCRIMINATING voters... since the state of Florida has shown no evidence of DISCRIMINATION of purging their voter registration lists, then they are legal to do so unless the gov't has proof that the purging is being DISCRIMINATORY to voters

    man you are on idiot
  • joseph ... ManBearPig 2012/06/29 21:09:56

    You think the opinion of one right wing Federal judge is going to remain in effect as the DOJ appeals to District Court? Good luck with that! By the way the County registrars have refused to comply with Scott, so good luck with that too.. Idiot? Think again you Con. By the way, the ACLU has a suit pending against Scott as well, not just the DOJ. But you have fun out there trying to steal peoples right to vote. I know it makes your day trying to keep Democrats away from the polls.

    “No evidence at this point that the White House is involved in a cover up?” Wallace pressed.

    No evidence at this point doesn't mean there isn't any. Evidence very well could be in the documents they are requesting.

    “And I hope that they don’t get involved,” Issa replied.

    And hoping they don't get involved doesn't mean the can't be or haven't been involved.

    Seems your grasping for straws with this one and reading much more into what is being said than is actually there.

    While Liberals tweak the quotes and facts to make sure the results point to what they want it to say and not the actual truth?

    “No evidence at this point that the White House is involved in a cover up?” Wallace pressed.

    “And I hope they don’t get involved,” Issa said. “I hope this stays at Justice. And I hope that Justice cooperates, because ultimately, Justice lied to the American people on Feb. 4 and didn’t make it right for 10 months.”

    White House may not have been involved, but DOJ and Holder certainly have been involved in a coverup on this topic.

    Get serious. Nice try at twisting the facts but all you have done is showcase the foolishness of your post. His statement pertaining to 'not at this time' eludes to the fact that within the documents that Holder and Obama are refusing to turn over could be the evidence pointing to the White House involvement. The second statement as to 'hoping they don't get involved' is stating that hopefully within the documents there is not evidence implicating the White House. It's not to hard to comprehend if you understand the english language, you are capable of cognizant, reasonable and logical thinking and you are not trying to cover something up. Seems you aren't capbale of any of these and you have proven it beyond a reasonable doubt. You are truly a shining example of how Obama got elected and it wasn't by intelligent, well informed, honest voters.

    Facts, truth, logic and common sense are never relevant to liberal/progressives as it proves them wrong, proves their lies and hypocrisies and pretty much showcases their foolishness, lack of intelligence, lack of integrity and in general that they have nothing of value to say. Thanks for proving these points beyond a reasonable doubt. You are a stellar example of a liberal/progressive and you prove it with each ridiculous, childish post you put up.

    After the hysteria they created and the Impeachment trial they already had scheduled, they will still keep lying through their teeth.
