Gunrunner: Darrell Issa requests documents from the FBI and the DEA
July 18, 2011
As the investigation into what could turn out to be the largest scandal in United States history drones on it seems as if it grows larger by the day.
Details are still sketchy, but Darrell Issa is now requesting that the FBI and the DEA turn over documents related to the Gunrunner scandal.
In recent weeks, we have learned of the possible involvement of paid FBI informants in Operation Fast and Furious,” Issa and Grassley wrote to Mueller. “Specifically, at least one individual who is allegedly an FBI informant might have been in communication with, and was perhaps even conspiring with, at least one suspect whom ATF was monitoring
It now looks as if the FBI and the DEA were involved in this operation and had people on the “inside” whom they thought they could trust but who were actually conspiring with the suspects that the ATF was supposedly monitoring.
The ATF, DHS, FBI, and DEA were all involved in this operation and yet we are to believe that the top law enforcer in the country–Eric Holder–had no idea what any of these agencies were up to, and neither did Barack Obama for that matter? To use Hillary Clinton’s term when speaking about General David Petraeus, this would require the willing suspension of disbelief.

When does it become time to turn this over to a special prosecutor? Or is that even necessary?

I think it is time. Even though Issa has enough to bring down Holder it will be seen as party politics by the left do the best coarse of action would be to bring in a special prosecutor.

I don’t think Holder can hold out much longer – this is getting deeper and deeper. More and more people and organizations are coming to light. It would be virtually impossible for Holder not have knowledge and involvement in this.

The walls are closing in on Holder and we have now reached a point where his resignation isn’t good enough, He needs to be brought up on criminal charges.

That’s where this needs to go Steve in order to restore the integrity of the system and the people’s trust in it. Anything less could do more damage than good.

Exactly, if Holder simply is forced to resign it will not dissuade someone in the future from doing something like this. Howecer if they know they could face criminal charges they may think twice.

I thought things were moving slowly. Issa said that this was on the level of Iran-Contra. A single office in Phoenix does not fit that description. This thing must be huge.

If this scandal is as big as I think it is we must have patience because it could take awhile to uncover the whole thing.

These crooked marxist vermin, Holder, Obama conspired together to perpetrate a false flag operation against the American People and run rifles into the hands of the murderous Mexican drug cartels, encouraging the ensuing slaughter of thousands of victims. And all this was done to create terrible murder and mayhem that the marxist Obama administration could then respond to by banning firearms that Americans are Constitutionally guaranteed the ability to possess.
This is a criminal conspiracy staged by the Federal marxist tyrants against the good People of America! Those involved have violated their sacred oaths of Fidelity to the Constitution! This is an outrageous, impeachable offense and these cockroaches should be arrested immediately and all GO TO PRISON FOR THEIR REST OF THEIR MISERABLE LIVES!
