Not so long ago Eric Holder repeated over and over again how his department was “fully cooperating” with the ongoing investigation into the deadly Fast and Furious gunrunning program. Not so much these days though…
Following last Friday’s document dump that linked Attorney General Holder with direct knowledge of the death of U.S. Border Agent Brian Terry to weapons the Obama government had sold into the hands of known and highly dangerous criminals, the Obama Department of Justice has gone into “No Comment” mode regarding what Holder knew and when. According to a recent Daily Caller report, repeated attempts to get a response from DOJ officials has met with nothing more than absolute silence.
According to the D.C. report:
The documents sent from the DOJ to congressional officials Friday night included a series of emails between former Arizona U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke and Holder’s then-deputy chief of staff Monty Wilkinson. Those emails show Wilkinson, a senior Holder aide, knew on December 15, 2010 — the day Terry was killed – that the weapons used to murder him were provided to a Mexican gang by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
…Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley, who has led the congressional investigation into Operation Fast and Furious along with House oversight committee chairman Rep. Darrell Issa, said in a tweet Saturday that the documents DOJ released Friday “clearly show Holder[']s people knew” about the gunwalking initiative before Grassley opened his investigation – and that the DOJ “lied” to Congress.
Are Americans to believe that the Deputy Chief of Staff for Eric Holder said nothing to the Attorney General regarding a situation of such importance and potential implications as was told to them that day? No way. Which of course means Eric Holder lied – repeatedly, to Congress regarding when and what he knew concerning Fast and Furious.
It also means…drum-roll please…that Eric Holder quite likely informed President Obama himself in the Fast and Furious debacle soon after Agent Terry’s killing. And that means the lies and cover-ups are now not only surrounding the Obama Department of Justice – but the Obama White House as well.
It’s always the cover up that does ‘em in.
Holdergate.
Prisongate
It will be interesting to see what WH insider has to say about Holder and DOJ in the near future.

I definitely agree with this closing paragraph!
…and what did WHI say back in early May? Something like… This probably goes straight to the Administration! (Of course I am paraphrasing it.)
I’m shocked. (not)
Note to Obama and Holder: It is time to play the race card. Gather up “your people” in self defense, batten down the hatches, and suspend the Constitution for the good of the nation. With any luck, the press won’t notice.
Who are their people? American blacks or the Muslim immigrants?
Whoever is useful at the moment.
Probably the Muslim Brotherhood they are quite active in obama’s WH now. and he keeps funnelling money to them–our taxes at work to help them to infiltrate America even more.
We’ll see if anything comes of this.
This is the latest post at the oversight website. Good luck to Mr. Issa. I doubt he gets what he needs.

Why is it that those entrusted with upholding the law of the land feel they are above it?
What is it about the word ‘subpoena’ that Barack Hussein Obama and Eric Holder do not understand?
Perhaps this will help:
through the magic of Google translator, “subpoena’ in arabic . . .
noun
دعوة للمحكمة
مذكرة إحضار للمحكمة
verb
إستدعى للمحكمة
So when will Obama turn on Holder to save his own ass? Liberals eat their own, when the going gets tough.
He can’t turn on Holder – Holder is Obama’s firewall for all things Chicago.
Looks like this is their latest strategy:

Ulstermann, this is HUGE! Please ask WHI and/or WSI about this.
