In reply to the discussion: White House Stands By Holder On Fast And Furious [View all]bvar22
(39,909 posts)52. The problem with THAT strategy...
... is that it essentially admits that Holder Fucked Up Badly.
The "Yeah, but you did it too" is a concession.
Holder should fall on his sword....TODAY,
for the good of The Party and the President.
Holder should call a Press Conference,
admit that Fast & Furious was monumental mistake,
that put guns in the hands of criminals,
got people killed,
AND that it was a continuation of a Bush Program that Issa supported.
ONLY Holder can do this,
and it turns the spotlight BACK on Issa and The Republicans.
Any continued effort by President Obama to protect Holder,
especially by invoking Executive Privilege only paints the White House
with ALL the appearances of Complicity and Cover-Up.

Why didn't they 'fuck Issa' when he put forward his egregious and unconstitutional bill of attainder

I am certainly not a Holder fan, but now isnt the time to throw him under the bus.

I hope you said the same about ACORN and all the other under the bus gang.

That is good and decent, Rufus, but you know many of the most forceful defenders

Right now I would slightly lean towards after too. But if this goes on long enough . . .

Does that outweigh the weakness it shows? I don't know. I'll leave that to the strategists

Two weeks until the President refers to Holder a "over-zealous in his defense of liberty"

And the issue is ISSA claims this is Obama's secret plot to take away your guns!
