Fast and Furious Update: Holder Subpoena Issued

Perhaps waiting 24 hours after Obama Attorney General Eric Holder attempted a “wag the dog” moment yesterday in scrambling together a news conference on an alleged Iranian terror plot the very day it was announced Congressional investigators would be issuing subpoenas on the deadly Fast and Furious debacle, that subpoena against Mr. Holder and other senior officials at the Department of Justice has now been issued.

An official statement from Congressman Darrell Issa, who has headed the investigation into Fast and Furious and the seeming Obama DOJ coverup, said the following:

“Top Justice Department officials, including Attorney General Holder, know more about Operation Fast and Furious than they have publicly acknowledged,” the California Republican said in a statement. “The documents this subpoena demands will provide answers to questions that Justice officials have tried to avoid since this investigation began eight months ago. It’s time we know the whole truth.”

It appears increasingly certain that questions regarding Attorney General Eric Holder’s possible perjury testimony from earlier in the year will be front and center during the upcoming Congressional testimony by Mr. Holder to Congress.  Mr. Holder stated under oath back in March that he had just learned of operation Fast and Furious, though documents later uncovered during the investigation detailed repeated updates on the program to AG Holder months prior to that initial claim by the Attorney General. Those same documents also appear to link knowledge of the failed operation that has resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Mexican citizens, as well as a U.S. border agent, to members of President Obama’s White House staff – and quite possibly the president himself.

    • It is not a left vs. right argument. It is a right vs. wrong argument. You would of thought Hillary, who was a junior staffer on the House Impeachment Committee during the Watergate proceedings would of learned very well the distinctions between “making” the law and “breaking” the law.

      But, alas, Whitewater transpired in between. Progressives always fail to learn from their mistakes. Hillary is proof of that.

    • The lesson Progressives take away from a Watergate is “Don’t get caught.” With a fully complicit press Dems have every reason to believe they can do whatever the hell they want with absolute impunity. And when they actually do get caught all they have to do is whip up one of these wag the dog affairs like the Iran plot, Occupy Wall St to provide enough cover so that the press can get away with ignoring the scandal.
      What it took to reverse the course of corruption was an administration so corrupt, so vile and so immature as to really believe they could literally get away with anything. Now the scandals are piling up by the day and the rats are starting to jump overboard. Eventually the press will be forced to take notice, unless the commie revolution turns into a shooting war.

    • Sorry, UM, but there appears to be confusion here. You state Holder made his comments in March and Fox says he made them May 3. I keep seeing conflicting dates about his comments.

    • I’ve been thinking about gunwalker. I believe any behavior can be understood no matter how bizarre if you understand the goal of the behavior.

      The only logical goal I can think of for letting guns by the thousands freely go to Mexico to the cartels with the express purpose of not being traced until found at crime scenes coupled with keeping the Gov of Mexico in the dark can to me only have one goal. To provoke the Gov of Mexico into demanding stricter gun laws for US citizens. In other words our gov was deliberately trying to subvert the constitution by using manipulating the Gov of Mexico. Can anyone think of another goal that makes sense for our government’s behavior?
