Stop me before I sell more guns to drug lords!

Eric Holder is scheduled to testify before the Senate Judicial committee. An advanced copy of his testimony has been obtained by the Daily Caller and it makes for some interesting reading.

According to the Daily Caller, won’t be talking much about the Fast and Furious gunrunning fiasco. Instead, Holder will be calling for more gun control laws.

From the Daily Caller:

In his testimony, Holder also advocates for new gun-control laws that he says would have halted, or at least prevented, Operation Fast and Furious. Holder echoes California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s comments from last week, when she argued that stricter gun laws would have stopped law enforcement agents from facilitating the sale of guns to Mexican drug cartels.

Holder and Feinstein have both shown their utter contempt for the second amendment. If they thought they could get away with it, they would have federal agents and possibly the military ((Posse Comitatus? What’s that?)) Holder’s utter contempt knows no bounds.

Unfortunately, earlier this year the House of Representatives actually voted to keep law enforcement in the dark when individuals purchase multiple semi-automatic rifles and shotguns in Southwest border gun shops,” Holder’s written testimony declares. “Providing law enforcement with the tools to detect and disrupt illegal gun trafficking is entirely consistent with the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens and it is critical to addressing the public safety crisis on the Southwest border.”

What actually happened was Holder and his thugs in the Justice Department tried to push through a blatantly unconstitutional regulation that affected ONLY gun stores along the border. But wait! It gets better!

In the copy of Holder’s testimony obtained by The Daily Caller, he also attacks those in Congress who have been outspoken about the DOJ’s continued stonewalling of the congressional investigation.

“As someone who has seen the consequences of gun violence firsthand — and who has promised far too many grieving families that I would do everything in my power not only to seek justice on behalf of their loved ones, but also to prevent other families from experiencing similar tragedies — I am determined to ensure that our shared concerns about Operation Fast and Furious lead to more than headline-grabbing Washington ‘gotcha’ games and cynical political point scoring,” Holder says.

Holder is either the most incompetent Attorney General in US history, or the most corrupt. In my opinion, its the latter. There is a very good chance that Holder has committed perjury in his testimony to Congress.

Two congressmen, House Oversight Committee chairman Rep. Darrell Issa and Rep. Jason Chaffetz, asked him the same question, and Holder answered the same way each time: He said he first learned of Operation Fast and Furious just a few weeks earlier.

Holder continues to claim Operation Fast and Furious was a “local” program run out of Phoenix, Ariz., despite mounting evidence to the contrary. Most recently, Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer, the head of the DOJ’s criminal division and Holder’s top deputy, confessed last week to at least some responsibility for Operation Fast and Furious.

One of the reasons Congress, at least Republicans, are having so much trouble believing Holder is that an operation of this scale had to have been authorized by the highest levels in Washington. This wasn’t a few weapons, it was thousands. Over 200 people have been killed by these guns including one federal Agent.

It appears to me that Holder has decided to double down:

“Today, I would like to correct some of the inaccurate — and irresponsible — accusations surrounding Fast and Furious,” Holder’s prepared testimony reads. “Some of the overheated rhetoric might lead you to believe that this local, Arizona-based operation was somehow the cause of the epidemic of gun violence in Mexico. In fact, Fast and Furious was a flawed response to, not the cause of, the flow of illegal guns from the United States into Mexico.”

Many other web sites have been following the Gunwalker disaster in far greater detail then I have and in my opinion, this one far exceeds the Watergate scandal that brought down Nixon. At least in that mess, no one died. Holder needs to be removed from office and if it is shown he aided and abetted this mess, he should be prosecuted.

Thatisall
