    Bribery, compromised officials leave indicted financial-crime suspects free from prosecution under Holder’s DOJ

    What next? How many more scandals do there need to be for the MSM to pay attention? Personally, I hope they don’t, let it all blow up in his face this summer, let him spend his billion dollars and the last shreds of the MSM’s credibility on a failed attempt to get re-elected. Take down the whole of the Democrat/liberal establishment in one fell swoop in November.

  3. Fast and Furious:

    Oh, that’s gonna leave a mark -

    Eric Holder’s ‘Fast and Furious’ woe

    Beyond that, if it had been a true covert action, the attorney general would have had to give his opinion as to its lawfulness beforehand; the implementing agency would have been required to exhaustively articulate risk; the National Security Council would have had to judge it favorably; President Barack Obama would have had to authorize it; and the Congress would have had to have been briefed before its implementation.

    And all concerned would have had the opportunity to reject a bad idea, whatever its rationale.

    So either both Holder and Obama are totally incompetent in not managing the government agencies OR they both new and approved of F&F operation which lead to the deaths of over 300 Mexican citizens and Brian Terry…

    If you choose incompetence, that clearly means Obama has no right to run for re-election since he hasn’t taken responsibility for the mess he allowed to happen. If you chose he approved F&F, then Obama and Holder need to be impeached immediately for the NEEDLESS preventable deaths of over 300 people. Of course, if you’re a liberal, 300 dead Mexicans don’t count because they didn’t vote for you.

  4. Oh dscott, you’re just hung up on details and procedures. They don’t apply to Democrats, and besides, it’s Bush’s fault. (/sarc)
