Unbeknown to the ATF, the DEA and FBI were using paid informants as middlemen. Which means U.S. dollars were used to buy weapons... [there was almost no] physical tracking of weapons... one shipment was observed going into Mexico and then just disappeared.
[This operation] goes to the highest levels of Justice... we want answers. The ATF was kept in the dark by Justice.We have our doubts [that Holder didn't know]... we will continue the investigation and follow it wherever it goes.
As Issa wrote earlier this week about ATF director Melson's secret testimony:
If his account is accurate, then ATF leadership appears to have been effectively muzzled while the DOJ sent over false denials and buried its head in the sand. That approach distorted the truth and obstructed our investigation.
Which means that the acting ATF director believes: Holder's DOJ lied to Congress and obstructed its investigation. Both of which, let me check -- why... yes, are crimes.
The Arizona Daily Star recently reported that the family of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry -- killed by one of Holder's Gunrunner weapons -- is considering a lawsuit. Let me be the first to suggest that one of the civil targets is Eric Holder.
Out of curiosity, who has arrest powers over the DOJ. Assuming the president doesn't cooperate?
ReplyDeleteYou know the government is out of control and running wild when you can't differentiate between the criminals at our borders and the criminals in our halls of justice.
ReplyDeleteIn essence there is no longer any rule of law because the people and system that is trusted to protect us is what is lawless.
If these people are not held accountable and punished for their crimes and high treason, it will be left to we the people to throw off these chains of tyranny they have served up. Because if these people can get away with their crimes and treason they will be free to do to us what they have done to our governing principles and laws. Nothing will stand in their way.
Where are the principled men and woman of law enforcement who have sworn solemn oaths to uphold and protect the US Constitution from ALL enemies?
ReplyDeleteIn a nation of 300 plus million people there is the thunderous sound of silence concerning these grave matters of treason and high crimes.
Tyranny is upon us in a myriad of forms. All under the guise of doing what is best for us if we want it or not.
This is not security, it is the most vile form of police state and dictatorship there is.
I wonder if Holder will get as much flack for lying to Congress as Roger Clemens is getting.
