To keep you up to date on current events on the Fast and Furious, the gun walking operation:

 

While other scandals involve money (Watergate, for example), Fast and Furious involves the loss of lives, including that of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, gunned down with a weapon that the federal government put in the hands of Mexico’s narco-terrorists, as well as over 200 Mexican citizen deaths.
 

This operation was conducted by the ATF, under the supervision of the Justice Department, that from what can be pieced together was horribly planned and horribly executed. But equally appalling is the blatant cover-up of wrongdoing by the Obama administration that has come to light.
There are documents that undermine the White House’s repeated claims of ignorance.

Eric Holder, President Obama’s attorney general, has, under oath, repeatedly changed his testimony and for months has withheld requests from Congress for thousands of documents.
The death toll is still mounting from Fast and Furious.
There is retaliation against Fast and Furious whistleblowers.

Holder had until yesterday to get the documents to the House Oversight Committee or else be found in Contempt of Congress. He didn’t.

Today, President Obama evoked Executive Privilege over these remaining documents so that Congress will not be able to see them. Why? He has always claimed that the White House had nothing to do with this operation so how can there be executive privilege? What’s in the documents that he doesn’t want seen? He apparently knew things about this operation before he claims.

This afternoon the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee voted and found Attorney General Holder – the highest legal officer in the US -- in Contempt of Congress and the vote will now go before the House.

Fast and Furious could be a bigger scandal than Watergate. This is an absolute threat to the Obama administration.
