Uh Oh! Lookey who got a Subpoena

[BPTactical]

House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa sent Attorney General Eric Holder a subpoena earlier today to get all relevant Operation Fast and Furious communications in an effort to determine when, exactly, Holder first learned about the ill-conceived gunrunning sting.
The subpoena requests information from 16 top Department of Justice officials as well as correspondence between DOJ and the former head of the ATF’s Arizona field office, Bill Newell.
It also requests all DOJ communications relating to the mission of murdered Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Agent Jaime Zapata, and murdered U.S. Border Agent Brian Terry.
A key issue has become whether Attorney General Eric Holder perjured himself when he told Congress on May 3rd, 2011, that he learned of Operation Fast and Furious “over the last few weeks.” As The Blaze reported (http://www.theblaze.com/stories/new-report-attorney-general-briefed-on-fast-and-furious-back-in-july-2010/) earlier this month, there are internal Department of Justice memos from July of 2010 addressed to the Attorney General that describe the Fast and Furious program nine months before his testimony.
The pressure is clearly mounting on the Department of Justice to explain the decision-making process behind Operation Fast and Furious, and for a full accounting of the operation to be given to the American people. Chairman Issa’s office released a statement on the subpoena that says, according to Fox News (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/10/12/issa-issues-subpoena-to-holder-in-fast-and-furious-investigation/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+foxnews%2Fpolitics+%28Interna l+-+Politics+-+Text%29&utm_content=Google+Feedfetcher):

“Top Justice Department officials, including Attorney General Holder, know more about Operation Fast and Furious than they have publicly acknowledged. The documents this subpoena demands will provide answers to questions that Justice officials have tried to avoid since this investigation began eight months ago. It’s time we know the whole truth.”
Attorney General Holder has told reporters that his office would “undoubtedly comply (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJ2bAeJhwFU)” with the subpoenas.

I pray they find a lot of info on him, or at least enough to get him out of there.

I think I read as well hillary clinton and obama are also tied in. obviously obama is, but how amazing would it be to watch the three of them go down together, all impeached! should be help criminally liable.

Unfortunately neither of their names are listed. Damn shame.

[Great-Kazoo]

the .gov is more concerned about steroids in sports than the Security and safety of this country. Holder gracefully resigns sometime next year, the panel locates a scapegoat and America sleeps soundly in its bed obliviously to what is really happening.

[nogaroheli]

the .gov is more concerned about steroids in sports than the Security and safety of this country. Holder gracefully resigns sometime next year to his super cush new government job with all the benefits and perks of his current, with a slight slap on the wrist at most, the panel locates a scapegoat and America sleeps soundly in its bed obliviously to what is really happening.

Fixed.

[KevDen2005]

Eric Holder and the entire administration is Absolutely ridiculous. I hope justice is fulfilled with this. Officers and innocent people have lost their lives because of this stupidity.

[Irving]

I really want to be excited about this, but these guys are the highest in the land. When they lie through their teeth, who is going to do anything about it?

I find fault in your ideology.

none should be above the law, and we should do something about it.


but thats just me.

[Irving]

but thats just me.

Of course, but WILL anyone do anything about it? Nope. Not a damn chance. If anyone was going to, it would have been done years ago.

[claimbuster]

What's the old saying, "the pot calling the kettle black". They're all a bunch of crooks and we have nobody to blame but ourselves for putting them there.

I propose a complete Washington enema!

[DOC]

Now lets see if some justice gets done or they just do each other favors and this goes away.

[DD977GM2]

This is unfortunatly how I feel too[Bang]

[colocowboy01]

I bet there will be a significant increase in the amount of shootings(school, shopping center, suicide by cop) that the media can cover to show the sheeple that guns are bad here in America thereby taking the view off of Fast and Furious. Oh wait, that is starting to happen, the Salon shooting, the Pennsylvania shootings, and it will only get worse. But, I am one of those crazy conspiracy theorist.

[Bailey Guns]

Nice...you had to bring the race thing into it, didntcha?

[Coffee]

[Lex_Luthor]

Man, I hope they follow through with this and hold everyone accountable. It's about damn time that the .gov starts upholding its own laws.

[hollohas]

This IS the biggest government scandal in decades by far. I feel like it's not being treated that way by anyone except by a small fraction of the media.

You know there are emails somewhere discussing how they planned to use the F&F guns to create more gun control during that whole "all the crime in Mexico comes from American gun stores" BS. But we will never see them...

I really hope our representatives don't give up easily on this one. These people resigning under pressure is not enough. People should be headed to jail over this...lots of people.

[DOC]

Call the media and your reps make this as popular as watergate.

[TFOGGER]

I pray they find a lot of info on him, or at least enough to get him out of there.

I think I read as well hillary clinton and obama are also tied in. obviously obama is, but how amazing would it be to watch the three of them go down together, all impeached! should be help criminally liable.

The thought of Hillary "The Cryptkeeper" "going down" is enough to make me want to rinse my eyes out with bleach....

[DOC]

Thanks for that visual! The thought of her going down to jail for a few years was the only going down she could do that wasn't repulsive to me.

[Guylee]

You know that scene in Fun with Dick and Jane where everyone's sitting there feeding stuff into paper shredders? Yeah...I have a feeling the Holder's office looks like that right now...

[Tweety Bird]

A shredder doesn't get it these days. Everything has an electronic "paper" trail. The question is, who will be the hound dog that picks up that trail. Issa is on to something, maybe he or some staffer will keep digging.

We can only hope.
