While the liberal mainstream media continues to ignore the Fast and Furious scandal at the Department of Justice. Attorney General Eric Holder's stonewall seems it is about to collapse under the congressional investigation into the Federal Government's lethal gun running program. Here are the money quotes:
“Most of the 5,000 documents you turned over are emails,” Issa said to Holder. “Mr. Attorney General, I have a question for you. Not one of these emails, in fact, is yours. Aren’t you a prolific emailer?”
Holder responded that, “No,” he is not a “prolific emailer.”
Issa followed up: “Don’t you email?”
Holder responded in the affirmative. “Do you have a personal email account as well as an attorney general email account?” Issa pressed.
“I have an email account at the Justice Department, yes,” Holder equivocated."
Hmmm, seems Holder has a problem answering the question directly. Don'tcha think?
"Issa, still not satisfied with Holder’s response, pressed further. “Let’s cut to the chase,” Issa said. “Don’t you think it’s a little conspicuous that there’s not one email to or from you related to Fast and Furious in any way, shape or form?”
Instead of answering whether or not there were any emails to or from him, Holder said the Department of Justice’s document production to the House oversight committee had been “unprecedented.”"
You can almost hear those stones in that wall Holder has erected abround the Fast and Furious debacle start to loosen up a little more. Stay tuned but, not to the liberal mainstream media like NBC and others as they don't see a problem here. The best place is the Daily Caller.
The U.S. Attorney for San Diego Carol Lam has resigned. It seems she did not jump she was pushed. Lam was the U.S. Attorney who prosecuted the corrupt criminal Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham. Who received millions of dollars in bribes from military defense contractors. What is really interesting are the comments from a Republican Congressman in California named Darrell Issa. Here is some background:"In a Tuesday phone interview from his Washington office, U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Vista, said Lam was asked to step down. Issa declined to name the source of the information, but said "it was a high-ranking administration official involved in the decision process."Hmmm... What really made me laugh was Issa's past criticism of Lam:"For years, Issa has been critical of Lam for what he said was her failure to more aggressively prosecute illegal-immigrant smugglers."And I have had one-on-one conversations with Ms. Lam, urging her to be more aware of the policy priority that the president has given," he said, referring to Bush's promises to secure the nation's borders.""In an October 2005 letter to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, for example, Issa blasted Lam's office for failing to prosecute two cases of smugglers who were repeat offenders. In the letter, Issa called her failure to do so the result of "lax prosecutorial standard."This is hysterical. Apparently, this idiot Issa does not have a clue that the failure to prosecute illegal immigrant smugglers let alone illegal immigrants starts with the policies of George W. Bush and his legal water boy and Attorney General Alberto R(aza) Gonzales. Who are both failing to secure our nations borders and continue to allow illegal immigrants to roam around our country with impunity. They are the ones who should be resigning!
