Gunwalker rumors.


There is a rumor floating around in ATF agent circles that Billy Hoover has approached Senator Grassley for whistleblower status. At the moment, it is an unsubstantiated rumor. If true it could be significant, for it means that Billy beat Melson to the roll. Good for Hoover, bad for Melson and everybody else above him in DOJ and White House. A top-level HQ guy like Hoover will have virtually all the beans.

Speaking of beans. There is another rumor -- which I have a greater tendency to believe since I've heard from two sources now -- floating around DC that Darrell Issa had a "VERY LARGE box of VERY SIGNIFICANT documents dumped on his desk on Tuesday from a VERY UNEXPECTED source." They are said to make the case all the way to the Oval Office. So says Waldo and friend. Are the two rumors coincidental?

One or both could be false. One or both could be true. That's the way it is with rumors.

Why Mike, I just heard a collective release of flatus and urine followed by an "Oh, Shit."

I hope it's true.

One can only hope! Something big has to happen to break this thing wide open. Stop with the threats and DO something, Issa.

I'm reminded of a scene from The West Wing. A corporate exec comes into Toby Zeigler's office and tells him, confidentially, that the corporation has been illegally polluting and that he needs whistleblower status. Toby brings in the lawyers, who point out the self-evident fact that since the exec signed off on the falsified reports to the government the exec doesn't qualify as a whistleblower, and instead needs immunity from prosecution, a much more difficult thing to obtain.

If Hoover is implicated in Gunwalker, he wants immunity in exchange for his testimony. A whistleblower, on the other hand, has nothing to beg forgiveness for, and just has testimony to offer.

It's just a technicality, really, but either way, Melson is screwed if it is true.

I guess it might be time to start printing up my IMPEACH OBAMA signs. Just might be a good market for them. "OBAMA LIED, PEOPLE DIED" should be one sign. Or should that read "OBAMA LIED, AMERICANS DIED"

I agree with tsiya. I believe this was a plot to reinstate the AWB. Holder admitted right after being confirmed that that was one of the goals of the Obama administration. He was quickly and quietly told to shut up. If by some freak accident Obama did get a second term, our rights will be up for grabs by a lame duck.

It should read "Obama Lied, Mexicans Died" to remind the raza types that the current admin only sees them as an expendable means to an end.

Anonymous was correct in that "OBAMA LIED, MEXICANS DIED" showing that the natives of Mexico are nothing but expendable dead to be used for political gain. The End Justifies The Means in order to get gun control. Sounds like a trumpet to take up arms to me.
