DEMAND FUNDING FREEZE OF DOJ
SUPPORT ISSA LAWSUIT OF ERIC HOLDER
NO DEALS – DON'T LET HOLDER WALK
EXPOSE OBAMA COVER UP
EXPOSE OBAMA COVER UP
UPDATE: The CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS VOTE IS A START AT WINNING JUSTICE, but Attorney General Eric Holder's and Barack Obama's COVER UP of their high crimes & misdemeanors in the unlawful Department of Justice operation to arm Mexican gun runners has not yet come completely "UNCOVERED!"
We need to demand a funding freeze of ALL appropriations for the Department of Justice until Eric Holder surrenders ALL subpoenaed documents to Congress!
Support Rep. Issa's civil contempt suit! Time for a full court press to learn the truth of Fast & Furious!
Congress MUST INDICT AND IMPEACH and MUST NOT offer Holder ANY deals to wriggle out of getting the whole truth – because it looks like Holder AND Obama may be guilty of FELONIES and MUST BE IMPEACHED if justice is to be done!
DEMAND that Congress NOT LET THIS COVER UP GET BOGGED DOWN AT DOJ! It is truly us against them – We the People of the Constitution STANDING against all the Establishment of both parties to DEFEND the CONSTITUTION!
ONLY THE CONSTITUTIONAL REMEDY OF IMPEACHMENT CAN ANSWER THE FAST & FURIOUS CRIMES OF HOLDER AND OBAMA!
BECAUSE OF NON-COOPERATION AND CRIMINAL FAILURE TO COMPLY BY HOLDER, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has received and relied in its investigation upon much relevant information from agency whistleblowers, not the DOJ, including copies of six Operation Fast & Furious wiretap applications that Attorney General Eric Holder refused to provide.
Contrary to the sworn position taken by Holder that the "inappropriate tactics" (as he now admits) in Operation Fast & Furious "were not initiated or authorized by Department leadership in Washington," those wiretap applications as well as other internal e-mails show that political appointees in the leadership, such as Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer, were well aware of the operation and the dangerous tactics being used.
And NOW Obama has invoked Executive privilege to HIDE under his authority the documents Holder has been stonewalling!
Why would Obama take such a risk in political capital and legal exposure, if there was no "smoking gun" in these documents implicating him and his administration at the highest levels in criminal activity? ANSWER: HE WOULDN'T.
Experienced Washington insiders AGREE! Those who have served at DOJ under Presidents Reagan or Bush, such as Andrew McCarthy (who started as a Reagan DOJ political appointee DOJ) see the handwriting on the wall clearly. In a brilliantly detailed analysis published in National Review Online, Fast and Furious and OCDETF, McCarthy makes this case strongly and convincingly – Obama's "eleventh hour privilege assertion" is forPROTECTING HIMSELF: "The One is in it for The One."
The NRO piece is a very compelling brief and tutorial introducing critically important details that MUST and WILL only come out as evidence IF WE IMPEACH HOLDER! THE DOJ MUST NOT BE LEFT IN CONTROL OF THIS INVESTIGATION to BURY IT! We know enough to be CERTAIN that many felonies have been committed.
What are the odds of emails, memoranda and briefing documents between Holder and Obama, DOJ political staff and White House political staff, on how to cover up the DISASTER of Agent Terry's shooting? Remember:
We KNOW Holder was planning at the close of 2010 to attend a triumphant Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) Fast & Furious press conference in Arizona – until Agent Terry's brutal killing sent the Obama administration into what will prove to be the most hapless, criminal, destructive COVER UP in American political history!
The principal background of the McCarthy piece to highlight: "OCDETF cases are Justice's crown jewels: the investigations that go on for months (sometimes more than a year) and result in vast arrest sweeps, bells-and-whistles press conferences, high-profile trials, and epic convictions and sentences…OCDETF money pours out, but not without one very big string attached: the involvement of Justice Department headquarters in Washington – known as "Main Justice" in DOJ circles…
The vast majority of federal criminal investigations have virtually nothing to do with Main Justice. … OCDETF cases are very different. They get to the front of the line when it comes to resources, particularly wiretapping – one of the only investigative techniques for which federal law requires approval by the attorney general or his designee (a top DOJ official) before the investigating agency and the district U.S. attorney may seek court approval… In fact, Fast and Furious was an OCDETF case. That made it a Main Justice case, not the orphan Arizona debacle of media portrayal."
Or of Obama and Holder LIES!
THE COVER UP MUST BE UNCOVERED!
IMPEACHMENT IS THE CONSTITUTIONAL REMEDY!
SUPPORT THE ISSA CIVIL CONTEMPT LAWSUIT TO PRESS COMPLIANCE!
DEMAND A CONGRESSIONAL FREEZE OF DOJ APPROPRIATIONS!
The latest information obtained from leaked wiretap applications shows yet again that Holder, his DOJ deputies and agency political appointees have been misleading Congress on these very issues. As former ATF acting director Kenneth Melson testified, "it appears thoroughly to us that the [DOJ] is really trying to figure out a way to push the information away from their political appointees at the department."
Now Obama has invoked Executive privilege over DOJ documents which Holder is withholding from Congressional subpoena. As Todd Gaziano of Heritage Foundation and countless legal scholars have attested, the most important part of the doctrine of Executive privilege here is that a president cannot assert it for the purpose of shielding wrongdoing by Administration officials – it lawfully "does not shield" information and documentation that would provide answers to the oversight duties of Congress, and to invoke for such purposes is itself illegal.
Previously released documents reveal that Eric Holder already PERJURED himself in Congressional testimony over the "Fast & Furious scandal!" Holder was sent official briefings on the shocking gunwalking project as far back as July 2010. That evidence directly contradicts his sworn statement to Congress on May 3, 2011 that he had only recently learned of the failed operation.
On May 3rd, in answer to a direct question regarding his knowledge of the initiative, Holder told Rep. Darrell Issa's Congressional investigation into the Bureau of ATF's "Fast & Furious" gunwalking scandal, "I'm not sure of the exact date, but I probably heard about Fast & Furious for the first time over the last few weeks."
Yet internal Justice Department documents show that at least ten months before testifying at that Congressional hearing, Holder was receiving frequent memos briefing him on Fast & Furious.
In the Fast & Furious operation, ATF agents illegally facilitated thousands of weapons to cross the U.S. southern border and fall into the hands of violent Mexican drug cartels. Hundreds of Mexican nationals, and numerous Americans, including law enforcement officers, have since been killed with these weapons.
The U.S. government violating federal law and letting guns "walk" remained a secret to the public until U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was brutally murdered December 14, 2010 in a border shootout with villains. Two guns from Fast & Furious were found at the scene, and ATF agent John Dodson blew the whistle on the ATF operation. Shortly after, on February 15, 2011 U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Special Agent Jaime Zapata was ambushed and shot dead with Fast & Furious weapons by the Mexican criminal cartel Los Zetas.
Ever since, the Justice Department has publicly scrambled to distance itself from the bloody, illicit project. But the internal documents leave no doubt that high level Justice officials knew and had authorized guns were being "walked."
This is confirmed in an email exchange between two Justice Department officials on Oct. 18, 2010. "It's a tricky case given the number of guns that have walked but is a significant set of prosecutions," says Jason Weinstein, Deputy Assistant Attorney General of the Criminal Division. Deputy Chief of the National Gang Unit James Trusty replies "I'm not sure how much grief we get for 'guns walking.' It may be more like, "Finally they're going after people who sent guns down there."
Of course, "the people who sent the guns down there" were not the evil American gun dealers that Obama Administration ideologues wanted to publicly blame – they were punks and gang members, who under American law could not and would not have been sold weapons by legitimate U.S. gun dealers. It was their own ATF to blame, now caught in an illegal, government concocted, pro-control, anti-gun rights sting operation gone tragically, if predictably, wrong.
It is THIS Obama Administration Gun Walker operation, designed to discredit "the Wild West gun culture" that Obama and Holder sought to depict, and now OWN.
Holder's perjury is only one clear criminal charge! The Obama White House, earlier on the record with Congressional investigators DENYING any knowledge by Obama of the scandal, is now thoroughly implicated too by Obama invoking Executive privilege.
Despite strenuous efforts at a widespread Administration cover up, the White House also previously had to surrender documents subpoenaed by Congress, which confirmed high-level White House enthusiasm and approval for the rogue DOJ operations!
Documents had shown extensive communications between then-ATF Special Agent in Charge of the Phoenix office Bill Newell – who was one agent who led the Fast & Furious weapons operation – and then-White House National Security Staffer Kevin O'Reilly. The emails reveal the two also had frequent phone conversations. This detailed, direct communication between a local ATF operations supervisor in Phoenix and a highly placed White House national security staffer PROVES the White House was "in on" the Gun Walker Project and the Fast & Furious weapons deals. The comprehensive extent of O'Reilly's ATF intelligence was previously concealed by the Obama Administration in its repeated denials of White House knowledge or approval of the disastrously failed Justice Department initiative.
This map, revealed among the released White House emails and internal communications, documents BY the ATF their deliberate, unlawful "gunwalking" of high powered weapons that include AK-47s and .50 caliber sniper rifles flowing into Mexico from Arizona, trafficked to the drug cartels.
(Red depicts "Gunrunner Impact Team" illicit weapons reportedly trafficked – but not tracked.) The former Special Agent in Charge reporting regularly to the White House has claimed repeatedly under oath that was this was not ATF policy:
July 26, 2011:
"At no time in our strategy was it to allow guns to be taken to Mexico," Newell testified, adding that at no time did his agency allow guns to walk. MORE BLATANT PERJURY! Look at their own "GRIT" map!!
"At no time in our strategy was it to allow guns to be taken to Mexico," Newell testified, adding that at no time did his agency allow guns to walk. MORE BLATANT PERJURY! Look at their own "GRIT" map!!
The Congressional investigation MUST pursue impeachment ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP! Our border with Mexico under the Obama Administration is more lethal and national security compromised than at any other time in American history. And shockingly, Obama's Attorney General, Eric Holder and the U.S. Justice Department under his direction are DIRECTLY IMPLICATED in some of the bloodiest violence!
How much did Obama know, and when did he know it? Only Congressional impeachment of Holder can bring forward the truth.
We cannot exaggerate the stakes in achieving JUSTICE in this debacle. Remember, from the very beginning of the Obama regime, Holder and other top-level Administration officials – including Obama himself – falsely claimed that we needed more gun control in the U.S. "because 90% of the weapons used by violent drug cartels" were coming from American gun dealers.
"Wikileaked" U.S. State Department cables proved this was a lie, and that the cartels were getting guns "including fully-automatic weapons, grenade launchers, anti-personnel mines and all manner of military hardware" not from United States gun dealers but through Central America. So Obama Administration officials at the highest levels concocted the illegal and insanely dangerous "Fast & Furious" Operation to walk guns from the U.S. over the Mexican border, get American weapons into the hands of the murderous cartels, BLAME AMERICAN GUN CULTURE FOR THE ENSUING MAYHEM, and thus facilitate the Obama left's gun control agenda.
The results ARE mayhem – BUT HOLDER AND OBAMA OWN THIS MESS, and they own all their impeachable high crimes and misdemeanors that MUST be pursued – all the way to the top in the White House!
This cover-up MUST NOT be permitted to stand! IMPEACHMENT NOW!
SUPPORT THE ISSA CIVIL CONTEMPT SUIT!
DEMAND A FREEZE OF DOJ APPROPRIATIONS – NOW!
ERIC HOLDER'S BRAND OF "JUSTICE":
- ILLEGAL "EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE"
- PERJURY, CONSPIRACY, OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE, INTERFERENCE WITH A CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION, CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS
- ATF AGENTS WHO TESTIFY BEFORE CONGRESS THREATENED
- ATF SUPERVISORS WHO ASSIST IN THE COVER UP PROMOTED
The cover up is very real. Just weeks after being accused of obstructing justice and intimidating likely ATF field agents called to testify before the Senate Committee Hearings on Operation Fast & Furious and Project Gun Walker, the ATF Supervisors who reportedly oversaw the gunrunning ops and then the cover up were "KICKED UPSTAIRS" and out of the political line of fire, given cushy promotions on their way to be eased out the agency with accelerated, elevated pensions!
Let's review the scandal:- 2000 Guns Walked Over The Border
- Hundreds of Mexican Deaths tied to Fast & Furious Weapons
- 47 Fast & Furious Weapons Found at 11 U.S. Crime Scenes
- 2 Dead U.S. Federal Agents
- NOT ONE PROSECUTABLE CARTEL ARREST
We must act quickly to ensure THAT THE TRUTH OF THIS COVER UP IS BROUGHT TO LIGHT, and the Department of Justice can be cleansed of the political corruption destroying it from within. Please fax Congress now!
CALL FOR NOTHING LESS THAN IMPEACHMENT! RESIGNATION WILL NOT DO!
SUPPORT THE ISSA CIVIL CONTEMPT SUIT! HOLDER MUST COMPLY WITH CONGRESSIONAL SUBPOENAS!
DEMAND A FREEZE OF DOJ APPROPRIATIONS – NOW! AMERICA DESERVES THE TRUTH!
