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

Ambassador II 2012/06/26 01:46:10When has a conservative ever admitted be wrong about anything?+3Why 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.





















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.”
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.
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.
polls show majority of the citizens of florida encourage what he is doing
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
dictate to Scott and Florida, has, will, and will continue to do so. GET A FREAKING CLUE!
man you are on idiot
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.
“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.
