Scratch one AG -- Perjury! A whole room full of walking, smoking guns! CBS: Eric Holder Briefed on Fast & Furious in JULY 2010!

You know, I bet someone fifty bucks that Holder would be gone by Christmas. Seemed like a risk at the time. Not now. Scratch one Attorney General.

Perjury!

Remember this?

ATF Fast and Furious: New documents show Attorney General Eric Holder was briefed in July 2010.

New documents obtained by CBS News show Attorney General Eric Holder was sent briefings on the controversial Fast and Furious operation as far back as July 2010. That directly contradicts his statement to Congress.

On May 3, 2011, Holder told a Judiciary Committee hearing, "I'm not sure of the exact date, but I probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks."

Yet internal Justice Department documents show that at least ten months before that hearing, Holder began receiving frequent memos discussing Fast and Furious.

Read the new documents:

Read the July 5, 2010 memo

Read the "It's a tricky case" email

Read the memo to AG Holder from Asst. AG Lanny A. Breuer.

The documents came from the head of the National Drug Intelligence Center and Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer.

In Fast and Furious, ATF agents allegedly allowed thousands of weapons to cross the border and fall into the hands of Mexican drug cartels.

It's called letting guns "walk," and it remained secret to the public until Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was murdered last December. Two guns from Fast and Furious were found at the scene, and ATF agent John Dodson blew the whistle on the operation.

Ever since, the Justice Department has publicly tried to distance itself. But the new documents leave no doubt that high level Justice officials knew guns were being "walked."

Two Justice Department officials mulled it over in an email exchange Oct. 18, 2010. "It's a tricky case given the number of guns that have walked but is a significant set of prosecutions," says Jason Weinstein, Deputy Assistant Attorney General of the Criminal Division. Deputy Chief of the National Gang Unit James Trusty replies "I'm not sure how much grief we get for 'guns walking.' It may be more like, "Finally they're going after people who sent guns down there."

The Justice Department told CBS News that the officials in those emails were talking about a different case started before Eric Holder became Attorney General. And tonight they tell CBS News, Holder misunderstood that question from the committee - he did know about Fast and Furious - just not the details.

Isn't that the DC fancy pants way of saying; 'I didn't really mean to lie and I'm really sorry I got caught, how about a do-over?'

We knew this clown was a liar, now he's caught. Nail his a$$ to the wall.

HEADSHOT!

Now, the question is whether Holder will be willing to take a (figurative) bullet for Dear Reader...

Add to this that Dear Reader is now busted inviting Malik (I HATE EVERY IOTA OF A CRACKER) Zulu (WE GON' HAVE TO KILL DEY BABIES!) SHABBAZZ to visit him in the white house!

Good G*D - if these people don't go to prison, well...

On second thought - they WON'T - and we all know it, so...; October 3, 2011 at 6:59 PM

Scott J said...: So perjury before Congress. What's the remedy? They impeach Holder?; October 3, 2011 at 7:19 PM
Mark Matis said...: Look, Scott J, why would ANYONE be willing to believe that the Senate could generate 67 votes to remove Holder, even if the House did impeach? You'd be lucky to get even 30 votes for removal there!; October 3, 2011 at 7:42 PM

Senate Democrats will not agree to sacrifice their political careers just to protect Eric Holder. He is readily expendable.

He will do the Holder Hold-out, waiting until New Year's Day, just to spite you. ;^)

From July 12 through July 16, the National Drug Intelligence Document and Media Exploitation Team . . .

Now that's a truthfully named team!; October 4, 2011 at 9:35 AM

The Marxists are on the other end of this thing, which means they have control mechanisms which they can use to manipulate both processes and people.

Remember "filegate" and the other scandals which were used to remove certain republicans at strategic moments, and start to think in terms of a KGB/CIA operation wherein the target/s, is/are compromised by way of their active libidos and penises etc....; October 4, 2011 at 10:18 AM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

-- Mike Vanderboegh, The Lessons of Mumbai:Death Cults, the "Socialism of Imbeciles" and Refusing to Submit, 1 December 2008

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
