First a little background. Operation Fast&Furious was a project run from the BATFE under orders of then Attorney General Eric Holder. The idea, in the long term, was to end private ownership of firearms. The operation allowed thousands of firearms sold from gun shops along the Mexican\/American border to be sold and illegally transferred across the border. The idea was to show that we needed more laws restricting gun ownership.<\/p>\n
The problem was that the BATFE had no mechanism in place to track the guns. Furthermore, when several dealers grew concerned and called the BATFE on some of these purchases, they were told to let them through and shut up. In the end, these guns ended up in the hands of the criminals and hundreds, if not thousands of Mexican men, women and children were murdered with them, along with a Border Security Agent.<\/p>\n
Under instructions of Holder, the Department of Justice began an extensive cover-up. When the Republicans regained control of the House of Representatives, they began looking into it. The level of obstruction from the DoJ eventually led to a vote of Contempt of Congress to be issued against Eric Holder. Since he was part of the inner circle of the Obama regime, he was protected and continued on with his lies. Now a report has been released and I suspect Holder\u2019s ears are burning hotter then the sun. Here are the details from Fox News<\/a>:<\/p>\n Members of a congressional committee at a public hearing Wednesday blasted former President Barack Obama and his attorney general for allegedly covering up an investigation into the death of a Border Patrol agent killed as a result of a botched government gun-running project known as Operation Fast and Furious. <\/b><\/p>\n The House Oversight Committee also Wednesday released a scathing, nearly 300-page report that found Holder\u2019s Justice Department tried to hide the facts from the loved ones of slain Border Patrol Brian Terry \u2013 seeing his family as more of a \u201cnuisance\u201d than one deserving straight answers \u2013 and slamming Obama’s assertion of executive privilege to deny Congress access to records pertaining to Fast and Furious. <\/b><\/p>\n \u201c[Terry\u2019s death] happened on Dec. 14, 2010, and we still don\u2019t have all the answers,\u201d Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, committee chairman, said of Terry\u2019s death. \u201cBrian Terry\u2019s family should not have to wait six years for answers.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n Hopefully, now that we have a new President and AG, we can finally get to the bottom of this fiasco and start prosecuting those responsible.<\/p>\n Terry\u2019s death exposed Operation Fast and Furious, a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) operation in which the federal government allowed criminals to buy guns in Phoenix-area shops with the intention of tracking them as they were transported into Mexico. But the agency lost track of more than 1,400 of the 2,000 guns they allowed smugglers to buy. Two of those guns were found at the scene of Terry’s killing. <\/b><\/p>\n They\u2019re still finding these guns at crime scenes, both in Mexico and the United States.<\/p>\n \u201cMore than five years after Brian\u2019s murder, the Terry family still wonders about key details of Operation Fast and Furious,\u201d the committee\u2019s report states. \u201cThe Justice Department\u2019s obstruction of Congress\u2019s investigation contributed to the Terry family\u2019s inability to find answers.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n That was the whole plan of course. If anything should lead to the impeachment of a president, (Obama), it was facilitating the criminal actions that led to the murder of a federal agent. As for Holder? He should have been prosecuted years ago.<\/p>\n Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, testified Wednesday in front of the committee, accusing DOJ and ATF officials of obstructing the investigation and working to silence ATF agents who informed the Senate of Fast and Furious. <\/b><\/p>\n And Senator Grassley pulled no punches.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Department of Justice and ATF had no intention of looking for honest answers and being transparent,\u201d said Grassley, now chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee and a staunch supporter of whistleblowers. <\/b><\/p>\n \u201cIn fact, from the onset, bureaucrats employed shameless delay tactics to obstruct the investigation.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n This is what happens when you put politics over the law and the Constitution. The Obama Regime\u2019s well known penchant for \u201cRuling by Decree\u201d, (Using Executive orders and regulations), is going to take decades to clean up.<\/p>\n One of those silenced ATF agents, John Dodson, testified Wednesday that he remains \u201cin a state of purgatory\u201d since objecting to Fast and Furious and has been the subject of reprisals and ridicule at the agency. <\/b><\/p>\n \u201cThat decision, the single act of standing up and saying, \u2018What we are doing is wrong\u2019\u2026 instantly took my standing from being that of an agent of the government \u2013 to an enemy of the state,\u201d Dodson said. \u201cATF and DOJ officials implemented an all-out campaign to silence and discredit me\u2026 Suffice to say, the last six to seven years at ATF have not been the best for me or my career.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n And this is why the BATFE, (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives), needs to be disbanded and most of the personnel terminated from Government Employment.<\/p>\n The report also says that Holder\u2019s Justice Department stonewalled inquiries from Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and deceptively told him that the \u201cATF makes every effort to interdict\u201d firearms purchased by straw buyers. <\/b><\/p>\n \u201cThere are important reasons for not giving Grassley everything he is asking for: it would embolden him in future fights and would ‘use up’ a lot of the material that we will eventually need to release to (California Rep. Darrell) Issa . . . as the oversight struggle continues,\u201d the Office of Legislative Affairs Assistant Attorney General Ron Welch said in an email to DOJ colleagues. <\/b><\/p>\n Excuse me? I think someone needs to go back to Law School and brush up on the Constitutional duties of how oversight works. The Agencies do NOT decide what they will or will not release. If there is a problem with information becoming public knowledge and screwing up an active case, then you keep it behind closed doors. The procedures for this have been in place since the founding of the country.<\/p>\n Attorney General Sessions needs to take this report and start a criminal investigation of Holder and the other scum who not only dreamed up this stupid idea, but then obstructed Congress from its constitutional oversight duties. Holder? Life in prison without parole works for me.<\/p>\n Thatisall<\/p>\n ~The Angry Webmaster~<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Good day all. Last week was a busy one. We had James \u201cThe Wimp\u201d Comey basically shooting himself in the foot, and now it looks like Eric Holder might want to start looking over his shoulder. Operation Fast&Furious is back.
