From Obamacare to gun walker, and everything inbetween, the strategy is the same - delay, misdirect, lie and retract. It's the complete package, the universal filibuster.
If you recall, Obama "forgave" Bush upon taking office, saying he would look forward instead of backward. He was, of course, setting precedent that he expects to be followed after he is gone.
The question is - will the GOPe comply, at its own peril?
It was a piece on the Missing Agent that led me to Sipsey Street Irregulars. Hmm 5or 6 Years ago I guess. Hope to see You unfurl the Flag that Concludes this Case, You Guys are the kind made of Hammer Stoff. Toughest substance known.
There are still people out there who insist that the Felony Stupid scheme that Team Obama conjured up with Field Marshall Holder was a " Bush Operation". Not only do they just know that it was a Bush Operation, any documentation to the contrary just might get you called a racist. Un-F-ing Believable
Take the money paid to the congressional miscreants that refuse to call for a special investigation into this matter and appropriate it to citizen groups like Judicial Watch. After all, the members of Congress still have their insider trading and misappropriation of campaign funds to fall back on.
Every time I am reminded that Holder is the most corrupt Attorney General in history, I remember that there were Republicans on board to confirm his nomination. Do not look for anyone to do the right thing. Washington is a cesspool and there is only one venue to change all that.
Fast & Furious was a DoJ sanctioned operation under the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) program. OCDETF is a major component of DoJ and is located within Main Justice. The top OCDETF manager is a "senior executive service" level position, the highest rank in federal civil service. The process for obtaining OCDETF approval and funding is quite rigorous, requiring a very detailed written proposal. In the case of F&F, the proposal was written by special agent(s) in the ATF Phoenix, AZ field office. Once the document is written, it goes through an ATF in-house approval process, which includes approval signatures from the group supervisor for the originating agent(s), the assistant special agent in charge, the deputy special agent in charge, and finally the Special Agent in charge (SAC), William Newell, in the case of F&F. Once the SAC signed his approval, the document moves to the Office of the U.S. Attorney for Arizona, William Burke for F&F. All U.S. Attorney offices have in-house panels of career prosecutors that study the proposals to see if they meet with the OCDETF guidelines. Once this panel was satisfied, they referred it to Burke for his approval and signature. The next step in the process is for the document to be sent to the regional OCDETF office, which are supervised by career, supervisory prosecutors. They convene a meeting of all of the OCDETF member federal law enforcement agencies, of which there are nine. The designated OCDETF regional coordinators are senior career special agents, with extensive law enforcement experience. They vette the proposal through their individual agencies to ensure their aren't any conflicts. Once this is accomplished, the document moves to OCDETF Main Justice, where yet another panel will review the proposal in detail. It isn't unusual for the proposing special agent(s) to be summoned before the panel for in person explanations. We know in the case of F&F it was approved and funded, because it ran for some eighteen months. How could it have been approved, if they had written about the actual tactics they implemented - letting guns walk? So they either lied in the proposal or ALL of the reviewing and approving never happened, which I seriously doubt. The same Mr. Burke is currently a partner in a security consulting firm (GSIS360), with the former national chief of the U.S. Border Patrol and the former director of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), David Aguilar. They don’t mention in Burke’s corporate bios he was the former U.S. Attorney for Arizona and I think we all know why. They simply say Burke is a former high ranking advisor to DHS.
Think they might be getting some nice, juicy, federal contracts!

What's in there that is so damning? There must surely be a politician destroying line or two for the tyrants in charge to oppose it's viewing.
This is my surprised face

Old article.

He's a common criminal. Criminals don't like paper trails.
