Guest Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Documents Prove Holder Lied: He Knew Same Day of Death of Border Patrol Agent Terry This past Friday night, congressional officials received a ‘document dump’ from the Department of Justice concerning Operation Fast and Furious. Contained in the cache of documents was a copy of an email confirming that US Attorney General Eric Holder was notified of the death of US Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, on the same day as the tragedy occurred. According to the report, Dennis Burke, former Arizona US Attorney, received an email at 2:31 am, Dec. 15, 2010 that read, “On December 14, 2010, a BORTAC agent working in the Nogales, AZ AOR was shot. The agent was conducting Border Patrol operations 18 miles north of the international boundary when he encountered [redacted word] unidentified subjects. Shots were exchanged resulting in the agent being shot. At this time, the agent is being transported to an area where he can be air lifted to an emergency medical center.” An hour later, Burke received a second email informing him that the agent had passed away. Following standard operating procedure, Burke forwarded both emails on to Monty Wilkinson, then deputy chief of staff for Holder. In Burke’s forward, he wrote that what happened was not good because it took place 18 miles within the US border. Burke received a response from Wilkinson who said it was tragic and that, “I’ve alerted the AG [Holder], the Acting DAG, Lisa, etc.” That same day, Burke learned that the guns used in the murder of agent Terry were part of Fast and Furious. He again emailed Wilkinson saying, “The guns found in the desert near the murder BP officer connect back to the investigation we were going to talk about – they were AK-47s purchased at a Phoenix gun store.” Wilkinson responded to Burke telling him, “I’ll call tomorrow.” US Attorney General Eric Holder testified before Congress that he was only informed about Fast and Furious a few weeks before his testimony when in fact he had been notified five months earlier. Later this week, Feb 2, Holder is scheduled to appear before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. They will have an opportunity to grill the AG directly about his involvement and questionable testimony he presented in his three earlier Congressional hearings. Rep Darrell Issa (R – CA) currently serves as the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee who will be questioning Holder on Thursday. Issa told an interviewer, “The Judiciary Committee has multiple issues with the Attorney General. We have one issue: the issue of breaking the law in order to enforce the law. “The oversight committee is investigating the Department of Justice, which is very different than his appearances before the Judiciary Committees in which they’re asking how things are going at Justice. What we’ve discovered in our investigations is a pattern of cover-up [and] delay. Ultimately Congress was given false information and now we’ve had people both resign and take the Fifth as we try to get to the basic elements of why and how was Congress lied to.” It will be interesting to see how many more members of the House will join the 103 current members who have either called for Holder’s resignation, firing or have signed the no confidence resolution. Hopefully, Issa and his committee will thoroughly rake Holder over the coals and the result will be a sufficient outcry from the rest of the House members to force Holder out of office and before a judge to hold him accountable for his lies and actions. http://godfatherpolitics.com/3409/docume...ol-agent-terry/ Quote

Dr. Shane Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 This scandal should be devastating to this administration. They knowingly sold guns to one of our ally's and neighbor's enemy without the ally knowing anything about it. And they did this after a similar and much smaller program by the Bush Administration (which was done with the Mexican government's knowledge) was canceled due to the inability to track the guns effectively. Those high in the administration say they didn't know about it. If that is true, that is a very big problem. Since when can the ATF sell guns to our allies' enemies without authorization from high-level people in the administration? And if it is true, why haven't we seen those on the lower levels who are guilty being fired and held accountable? Quote Pastoral Family Counselor...

Guest Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 But it won't be devastating, because the mainstream media won't cover it. Like always. They run defense for big O. How many times have you heard this in the news? Quote
Dr. Shane Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 I don't think the mainstream media is nearly as powerful as it once was. FOXNews and the Drudge Report have reported on this a lot. The topic has come up on many forums just like this one. There are congressional hearings taking place. Innocent Mexicans fear the cartels so much they teach their children to hide in the bathtub at the sound of gun fire. And their northern neighbor is illegally selling the cartels guns. This story is all over the Spanish networks. Everyone in Mexico is talking about it. Quote Pastoral Family Counselor... Find me at www.PostumCafe.com Author of Peculiar Christianity
