« on: October 05, 2011, 01:39:49 PM »
Not sure if we've discussed this ongoing scandal, so I started a thread about it, because the DoJ and the WH are having a Cow! @ the only reporter covering it Sharyl Attkinson of cbs).

They say The Washington Post is reasonable, the LA Times is reasonable, The New York Times is reasonable I’m the only one who thinks this is a story, and they think I’m unfair and biased by pursuing it.


Wonder what 'reasonable' means, perhaps 'downplaying it'.


The reporter ran a story @ cbs back in Feb. Gun-running by the ATF.

Documents and Holder (when did he know) http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-31727_162-20115038-10391695.html?tag=pop;stories


WH releases docs - http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-31727_162-20114184-10391695.html?tag=contentMain;contentBody


I'm sorry the links are not in chron order, but I gotta go as I'm late. You know, this looks like impeachable shit. Meantime that flake Repug wants to send the military to the Mexican border  :o  It's quite scary when your not allowed to say a thing against your gob, asking questions/ferreting out the truth can you get you killed. This reporter and cbs are trying to be a Free Press in a country that freely admits they Tell WaP/LAT/NYT what is 'reasonable', I'm actually afeared for the reporter.

Issa (Oversight Committee) to Holder, where Issa basically says to Holder "You Own F & F"

Operation Fast and Furious was the Department's most significant gun trafficking case. It related to two of your major initiatives – destroying the Mexican cartels and reducing gun violence on both sides of the border. On your watch, it went spectacularly wrong. Whether you realize yet or not, you own Fast and Furious. It is your responsibility.


Sharyl Attkisson reports congressional subpoena directed to Attorney General Eric Holder could go out as early as Tuesday. (That's today and why I'm awfully suspicious of the breaking news in Iranian/American charged with plotting to kill Saudi ambassador)

Update - 17 Congresscitturs calling for Holder's resignation.

New info from Sharyl Attkisson. It looks like this guy Breuer is being set up to take the fall for Holder. ??


Quote
Today, Breuer issued a statement saying he "regrets" that he didn't alert others in Justice Department leadership, apparently including his boss Attorney General Eric Holder.

House oversight committee chairman Rep. Darrell Issa is expected to file a civil contempt of Congress lawsuit Monday against Eric Holder. So say the Merkin twitter, don't know what happened to Sharyl Attkisson  who was the star reporter of this clusterfcuk.
