e-Mail May Be the Smoking Gun That Takes Down Holder
A single internal Department of Justice email could be the smoking-gun document in the Operation Fast and Furious scandal — if it turns out to contain what congressional investigators have said it does.
The document would establish that wiretap application documents show senior DOJ officials knew about and approved the gunwalking tactic in Fast and Furious. This is the opposite of what Attorney General Eric Holder and House oversight committee ranking Democratic member Rep. Elijah Cummings have claimed.
It appears that email would also prove senior DOJ officials, likely including Holder himself, knew in March 2011 that a Feb. 4, 2011 letter from the DOJ to Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley falsely denied guns were permitted to “walk” into Mexico. The DOJ allowed that false letter to stand for nine more months, only withdrawing it in December 2011.

The link isn’t working. I am uploading a video right now from Fox News from June 2011 that shows we knew as early March 2011 that Holder was lying…why hasn’t the rest of the MSM done their job? Protecting Obama?

Herr Holder likes to brag, during testimony before Congress, that HE was the one who ended the “Fast & Furious” scheme. The plug was officially pulled on “Fast & Furious” in Dec. 2010, right after the murder of Brian Terry. In other testimony, again before Congress, Herr Holder says he only learned of “Fast & Furious” some time around March 2011. What’s he got, a fvck!ng time machine?
If Nixon were a Demorat we’d have never heard about the Watergate cover-up. If Holder and Soetoro were Republicans, they’d have been frog marched off to Leavenworth long ago.

Oblowme’s got his boy, Tony West, all lined up to replace WithHolder, if this is indeed the smoking gun. Of course, if it somehow brings Obumphuk down too, well then, it won’t matter who takes over the DOJ. Can happy days lie ahead?

Yep. They’ll get that email, and ONLY that email: The one that nails Holder (aka Fall Guy) and lets the rest of the White House criminals who brainstormed this mess off the hook.

This is great and all, but he ain’t going down (well, maybe on O).
It’s great that the spotlight is on him and that there is noise being made about this, but the most that will happen is that he will “resign” and then go be a millionaire somewhere else.
