TRAINING GROUND FOR ERIC HOLDER’S FAST AND FURIOUS COVER-UP, PART 4

In a way, Fast and Furious is an almost expanded version of the Trentadue case, whereby an American citizen was murdered; whereby his Mexican citizen wife, Carmen Aguilar Trentadue, and their then-two-month-old son have suffered all these years. Today, the Brian Terry family suffers, and the families of hundreds of Mexican citizens who are dead from Fast and Furious weapons also suffer. Eric Holder is not sad for these; neither is he sad that Brian Terry is dead. He is sad because he got caught.
As Jessie Trentadue, Kenny’s brother, continued to fight to bring his brother’s murderers to justice, a new leader came on the scene in 2008. He called for a “fundamental transformation” of our government. Would that mean justice for the Trentadue family? When it was announced that Obama would appoint Eric Holder as his Attorney General, Jessie Trentadue was in shock. This was the man who had probably, more than any other person, helped to cover up the murder of his brother, and unbelievably, he was being nominated to the highest law enforcement position in the country.
Impossible. But it was true.
Jessie Trentadue quickly wrote a letter to Senator Patrick Leahy, the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee leading the confirmation hearings, informing him of Holder’s perfidiousness. Unfortunately for the United States, and unfortunately for the Brian Terry family and the hundreds of families grieving in Mexico today, this letter was ignored. Holder went on to bring about the most unjust Department of Justice that has ever existed in the United States, or probably will ever exist, from dismissing the New Black Panther voter intimidation case to Fast and Furious.
But let us get back to this letter that, if it would have been read by Congress, would have saved the United States from the scourge of Eric Holder, the man of whom we can say, “He lied. People died.”
