Fast And Furious: Issa No Longer Suspicious Holder Knew Of Gunwalking
Source: Talkingpointsmemo.com
<snip> “During the inception and the participation through the death of Brian Terry, we have no evidence nor do we currently have strong suspicion” that Holder knew of the tactics, Issa said during testimony before the House Rules Committee on Wednesday. <snip> Issa also said he had no specific knowledge that the White House knew of the gunwalking tactics and said the committee wasn’t looking to the president. Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), ranking member of the Oversight Committee, butted in as Issa was being questioned by Rep. Jared Polis (D-CO). “We are now about to find in contempt the attorney general of the United States of America after you just heard that,” Cummings said. “Sure,” replied Issa. “It’s not for what the attorney general knew about Fast and Furious, it’s about the attorney general’s refusal to provide the documents.” Read more: http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/06/fast_and_furious_issa_holder_contempt_gunwalking.php?ref=fpnewsfeed

They are threading their own hooks. If it began under Bush? If they continue I hope it blows up in the Republican faces. The American people are getting tired of these tactics. They know what a do nothing Congress we have. Real people are beginning to question whether they should have salaries.

30. Here is a good summary
|
Of how the Meridia Initiative and Project Gun Runner came to be at Daily Kos:
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/06/21/1101851/-2008-Darrell-Issa-Voted-YES-to-Fund-Project-Gunrunner-Merida-Initiative The media is frustrating me by not nailing Issa's feet to the floor on that vote. One of two things - either he didn't know/read the bill prior to voting (i.e. - His freaking job) - or he knew but thought it would go differently. |

http://features.blogs.fortune.cnn.com/2012/06/27/fast-and-furious-truth/
Fortune systemmatically dismantles the claims of Issa and others. He may well be stalling to see how this plays out, but I'd be surprised if he has the balls to go forward now. |

Last edited Thu Jun 28, 2012, 01:56 AM USA/ET - Edit history (9) WHEN DID THE VIOLENCE BEGIN IN MEXICO?
WHO BENEFITS FROM THIS VIOLENCE? El Presidente CALDERON DOES. WHO ARE HIS FRIENDS? WHEN DID THE VIOLENCE BEGIN IN MEXICO? WHEN HE WAS ELECTED. SO YES.....THERE IS THE PROBABLE ANSWER. WHAT DOES EVERYONE KNOW ABOUT THE ELECTIONS THAT JUST HAPPENED IN MEXICO A FEW YEARS AGO? THEY WERE CORRUPT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SEE THE OBVIOUS. ALWAYS THINK AND SEE. YOU WILL BE AMAZED BY IT ALL. I AM. THIS PEOPLE IS THE ANSWER.....LOOK AT THE TIMING. IT IS TREASON. LOOK AT WHAT THEY HAVE DONE BEFORE...LOOK AT HISTORY. THIS IS MY TAKE ON THE MATTER. IT IS WHAT IS OBVIOUS TO ME. THING IS NO MATTER HOW I LOOK AT IT, IT IS ALL THE SAME. BECAUSE IT IS. PERIOD. IT DESTABILIZES COUNTRYS AND KILLS PEOPLE. AND THAT IS THE POINT. CONSIDER ALL THE PARTIES THAT COULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED....WHAT HAVE THEY ALWAYS DONE? THIS VIOLENCE WAS MEANT TO DESTABILIZE MEXICO. MEXICO ALREADY KNOWS THIS, THAT IS WHY THEY RAISED A DIPLOMATIC COMPLAINT ABOUT IT. Meanwhile....The Progression continues.... |

Issa, "We know this is bullshit, but we can at least try to get one black guy out of the WH since we can't get the other one out. He's also picking on racists to make sure brown people can vote and can stay in this country legally. It's making the GOP look bad."

33. Issa said early on that his ONLY goal was to take Obama out of office by looking for a scandal.

He serves no other purpose. He is NOT serving his constituents in the least. He is an attack dog.
