ERIC HOLDER'S GUNWALKING COVER UP DEEPENS
"FAST & FURIOUS" GUNS TERRORIZING AMERICANS FOUND AT
MORE CRIME SCENES ACROSS THE U.S.
UPDATE: Attorney General Eric Holder has reneged on an agreement with Senate Republicans by refusing to respond to questions on the growing Fast and Furious scandal according to Sen. Charles Grassley.MORE CRIME SCENES ACROSS THE U.S.
Grassley says he allowed the nomination of Deputy Attorney General James Cole to move through the Senate in return for a pledge that questions on the failed DOJ gunrunning scheme would be answered.But Holder's Department of Justice has stonewalled since Cole was approved in June.
"We're getting inadequate answers," Grassley said in a Newsmax interview. "The inadequacy of the answers is a violation of the agreement that we have with the attorney general that we will get all of our questions and sub-questions answered fully…"
This follows on the heels of Holder belligerently PROMOTING those in ATF most deserving of legal and professional SANCTIONS! Just weeks after being accused of obstructing justice and intimidating likely ATF agents called to testify before the Senate Committee Hearings on the disastrous Justice Department Project Gun Walker – aka Operation Fast & Furious – the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agency supervisors who reportedly oversaw the failed and fatal gun running mess and its subsequent cover up were given cushy promotions!
In outrageous new developments, Eric Holder's ATF has rewarded the Gun Walker supervisors who directed and enforced the operation cover up with lofty promotions to the ATF's DC Headquarters. Three ATF supervisors, who have been heavily criticized for pushing the insanely incompetent and lethal Gun Walker initiative, even as it began to unravel, and then concealing its specifics, have been granted new positions higher in the ATF. The only high-ranking official to cooperate with the Senate investigation, Kenneth Melson, has been "laterally demoted" for telling at least some of the truth.
ATF Supervisor William G. McMahon, (pictured at left), was the Deputy Director In Charge of the Western office where the Fast & Furious operations were focused has been promoted to Deputy Director of the ATF's Office of, (get this), Professional Responsibility and Security Operations.The two field Supervisors, William D. Newell and David T. Roth, who directly oversaw the Gun Walker initiative out of the Phoenix office have been promoted as well. Newell has been named Special Assistant to the Office of Management, and Roth has been named Branch Chief of another ATF Division.
They have a lot to cover up! The Justice Department has had to admit that guns used at 11 separate crime scenes from across the nation came from Eric Holder's "Fast & Furious" Gun Walker operation – and more crimes are already being implicated as more evidence comes to light. In fact, in breaking news, a third gun linked to "Operation Fast and Furious" was found at the murder scene of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, contradicting earlier assertions by federal agencies that police found only two weapons tied to the federal government's now infamous gun interdiction scandal.
Emails reveal the FBI concealed evidence alledgely to protect a confidential informant inside a major Mexican cartel. Unlike the two AK-style assault weapons found at the Terry murder scene, the third gun was thought by the feds to be "more traceable" and was ordered to "disappear."
The DOJ made the admission in a recent letter to the Senate Judiciary committee. Although the DOJ did not give further details, the Los Angeles Times and Fox News quote sources close to the investigation as saying that a total of 42 "Fast & Furious" procured weapons were used in crimes from Arizona to Texas.
Yet, the Department of Justice is unwavering in its ridiculous assertion that Mexican cartel weaponry and the guns used in violent American crimes come from innocent Americans. In fact, the DOJ and ATF are right now implementing a requirement that Texans and Arizonans must now receive special clearance and reporting for long gun purchases. That's right, if any Texan buys his boys a couple of shotguns for the upcoming hunting season, he must now register his purchase as if he were a suspect in suspicious activity – and he must register it with none other than a Department headed by a man who actually has a decade-long history of defending actual convicted gun runners – Eric Holder.This entire Department of Justice has been reduced to a travesty, all because of Barack Obama's insistence in keeping a corrupt and misguided Attorney General. NO MORE! We must insist that Congress do its duty and protect American Rights, American Liberty and American Justice.
FUTHERMORE, REP. ISSA HAS ACCUSED ATF OF OBSTRUCTING JUSTICE IN PROVIDING INFORMATION TO CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES AND ATF AGENTS' TESTIMONY TO THOSE COMMITTEES!
In what is perhaps a brave new threshold of grim irony for the Obama faction, a Department of Justice agency is being accused of obstructing justice. The ATF General Counsel has apparently sent threatening letters to witnesses, prompting Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) to accuse the agency of interfering with a Congressional investigation.
This news comes on the heels of the explosive email released proving that Obama's own National Security Director for North America, Kevin O'Reilly, was briefed nearly one year ago on "Project Gun Walker" by an ATF Special Agent In Charge.In a desperate attempt to maintain a cover-up at the highest levels, the ATF has apparently resorted to intimidating witnesses. In an interview with the Washington Times, Rep. Issa reported that at least two of his key witnesses received threatening letters from ATF Associate Chief Counsel Barry S. Orlow warning them to keep certain areas off-limits from Congress, including those still under investigation. As a result, at least one witness tried to back out of testifying. This prompted Chairman Issa to send a letter to the ATF suggesting the agency "is obstructing and interfering with the Congressional investigation."
Layer by dirty little layer, Rep. Darrell Issa is peeling back the lies, corruption and cover up surrounding Attorney General Eric Holder's Gun Walker scam. In a direct statement regarding Holder's claims of ignorance, Issa said "How is it that the No. 2, 3, 4 at Justice all knew about this program, but the No. 1 didn't?" Issa went on to say of Holder, "[Either] he knew and he's lied to Congress, or he didn't know, and he's so detached that he wasn't doing his job."
Our question is, at this point does it matter? It is now absolutely clear ERIC HOLDER MUST GO!
How have we devolved to such a degraded condition that a Department of Justice agency can be accused of obstructing justice? Honor must be returned to this venerable institution, and that can only come if we commence with removing the corrupt political hack known as Eric Holder.
Frankly, the ongoing DOJ/ATF "Gun Walker" scandal represents merely the latest in a long line of disgraces associated with Attorney General Eric Holder, including numerous instances of his refusal to enforce or even abide by the law, such as the New Black Panthers voter intimidation case, the ACORN Voter corruption and funding scandals, federal court orders regarding "ObamaCare" and Congressional subpoenas, and his shocking dereliction of duty regarding the Defense of Marriage Act. Rather than stand as the "top cop" and ultimate sentinel and protector of our nation's rule of law, Holder seems to be far more interested in traducing the law to suit his own cronies, radical friends, colleagues, business associates – plus random "clients" and high bidders. How much longer will we tolerate corruption and outright trampling of the Constitution from America's highest law enforcement office? Our current Attorney General is not fit to lead the Department of Justice. ERIC HOLDER MUST GO!
Congressional hearings into the "Gun Walker" case are happening now, so we must act quickly to ensure the Department of Justice can be cleansed of the political corruption destroying it from within.
