Obama’s Fast and Furious “GunGate” Dwarfs Watergate

Fast and Furious Coverup Unraveling; Plot To Take Away Guns Expose

That the Watergate burglary was about a two bit break-in that Richard Nixon never even knew about in advance is now common knowledge. That Obama’s Fast and Furious Program was a carefully coordinated government conspiracy to galvanize public opinion around gun control and to strip away the right of gun ownership is still relatively unknown.

Now that’s one heckuva conspiracy! An actual conspiracy that has the whole administration in a tizzy. Talk about raining on their parade — a criminal contempt of court against the US Attorney General is affirmed in the House on the same day that a blatantly unconstitutional ruling is made by the Supremes.

Talk about drama! Except that the real drama has yet to begin. Very few really understand the depth of the criminal conspiracy and complexity of the coverup which Fast and Furious has become. So big is this story that one political commentator recently wrote: THE BIGGEST SCANDAL IN U.S. HISTORY

Do you understand the far-reaching ramifications of a serious felony crime committed by the Attorney General of the United States of America? Ramifications which easily reach right into the Oval Office and will undoubtedly sink the Obama presidency.

There are very serious reasons why Attorney General Eric Holder was willing risk a criminal contempt of Congress citation. He is involved in a criminal conspiracy so deep, that concerns a political cause so dear to the president and his handlers, that House Finds Holder in Contempt Over Inquiry on Guns

Now ask yourself, why would Holder make such a fateful decision to carry water for this President, essentially sabotage his career in government … forever. What is so important to the Obama Administration that they would risk an executive branch-wide scandal with the potential to bring down the Democratic Party for decades to come.

Obama Administration coverup of Fast and Furious makes the Watergate coverup look like child’s play

The depth and breadth of any coverup is always a reflection of what is being hidden, and why it is so important to prevent its revelation. In the case of Watergate, we saw an amateur burglary that was purposefully sabotaged to obtain ???, and was then covered up to avoid embarrassing a sitting President running for re-election. Once Richard Nixon found out, he had his team go into full-time damage control to limit the political fallout. Well now that sounds very familiar, too!

Fast forward to 2012. We now have an Attorney General who basically oversaw a scheme to put American made guns into the hands of Mexican drug cartels ostensibly to track the guns and trace them back to the various gangs. Of course, this plot quickly unraveled when Brian Terry, a U.S. Border Patrol agent, was shot and killed by one of those traceable guns while in the hands of a Mexican.

See how the plot now continues to thicken. The screenplay will make All the President’s Men look like the thoroughly B movie that it was. When the actual story is revealed about Fast and Furious and the American People understand it as the government conspiracy that it truly is, there will be a palpable change in the mood of the body politic.

For gun-owning Americans, there is perhaps no greater right than the right to bear arms. Thomas Jefferson himself spoke of the need for an armed militia to guard the citizenry from its own government during times of tyranny. Sound familiar?

That time is clearly upon us as a nation, and there is no greater threat to individual freedoms than those draconian measures meted out by the US Federal Government over the past decade. This same government knows that there is only one thing which stands in the way of their total takeover by way of governmental tyranny.

And that is lawful gun possession by millions of Americans. This sole fact of life in America is what has prevented its citizens from being stripped of all vestiges of freedom.

“Administration officials intentionally put guns into the hands of Mexican drug cartels, so that when the guns taken from Mexican crime scenes turned out to be American guns, Democrats would have a reason to crack down on gun sellers in the United States.”

This quote from the previously referenced article lays bare the true intention of Obama’s Fast and Furious gun initiative. It is an intention that springs from the World Shadow Government which effectively controls the destiny of the USA. It is the same intention implanted in this Manchurian Candidate known as Barack Hussein Obama. So intent is he on achieving this goal, that his masters will steal the upcoming election for him so he can follow through on gutting the 2nd Amendment through executive orders. Just as he has been doing with illegal immigration.

Now is the time to make this illegitimate president pay the price for skirting the rule of law every every time it serves his agenda to do so. Not only through ensuring an election defeat, but also by prosecuting his many co-conspirators to the fullest extent of the law. Each one needs to be identified throughout all three branches of government and held accountable, just like the Democrats did during the Watergate era.

To conceive such a convoluted scheme in order to abrogate 2nd Amendment rights is as bad as it gets. To implement that scheme, and then have others take the fall when it is exposed as Holder is doing, is even worse. Then, to go to great lengths to cover up this terrible crime against the people using taxpayer dollars and federal employees on government time is truly the height of federal government tyranny. Which is exactly where the Obama Administration is today.

Eric Holder Has To Go

June 29, 2012 by Chip Wood

UPI

On Thursday, the House voted to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress.

The House of Representatives is about to vote on whether to declare Eric Holder, our Attorney General, in contempt of Congress. And by the time you read this, the Supreme Court will have issued its long-awaited ruling on the Constitutionality of Obamacare.

Unfortunately, I’ll have to wait until next week to comment on both events. Thanks to publishing deadlines, I have to finish this column before the House takes its vote and the Court renders its verdict.

But I don’t have to wait another minute to predict that it’s just a matter of time before Holder is no longer our Nation’s top law-enforcement officer. While the list of unConstitutional excesses by this Administration is longer than both of my arms, Holder’s bungling mismanagement of the Fast and Furious crisis, followed by his outright defiance of Congress, is reason enough to color him gone.
What’s gotten lost in the whole contrived controversy over Holder’s claim of executive privilege is how this uproar began. In 2009, someone in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives approved plans to let some 2,000 illegal weapons in the United States get into the hands of a Mexican drug cartel. The idea was to track where the guns went, so they could nail some drug kingpins.

A bad idea went terribly awry in 2010, when Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was killed in a shoot-out with drug traffickers. A firearm found out at the scene was traced to the botched Federal program.

Congress decided to investigate how this whole mess happened. And that’s when Holder’s Justice Department made a huge mistake. It sent a letter to Congress in February 2011 flatly denying that any such program ever existed.

The House Oversight Committee didn’t buy it and demanded to see various reports and communications. One of the items that subsequently came to light was an email in March of last year from then-acting ATF Director Kenneth Melson urging the Justice Department to “back off the letter.” But it took another seven months before Holder’s agency acknowledged the existence of the Fast and Furious program and admitted its previous claims weren’t true.
That would have been a very good time for Holder to abide by the old maxim, “If you mess up, ’fess up.” Instead, he took the opposite tack and dug in his heels. So far, Justice has given Congress only a tiny fraction of the documents it has requested, insisting that all of the others are somehow protected by executive privilege.

Claims of executive privilege can apply when you’re talking about communications between the President and the people who work for him, such as the Attorney General. But not when you’re trying to keep a duly constituted Congressional committee from learning about communications within a Federal department.

In a lead editorial last week, The Wall Street Journal noted the curious contradictions and dangerous implications of what’s happening here:

Did White House officials know and approve Fast and Furious before it went awry, and did they advise the Justice Department on how to respond to Congress’s investigation into the operation’s failure?

How can the President invoke a privilege to protect documents he and the White House are supposed to have had nothing to do with?

And what is so damaging or embarrassing in those documents that Mr. Obama is now willing to invest his own political capital to protect it from disclosure—at least until after the election?

The last three words contain the key to the current unpleasantness. Obama would like nothing better than to put off any resolution until after Nov. 6. And I think it’s safe to assume that Holder would like to keep his cushy job for as long as possible. Who could blame him?

If a majority of House members do vote to hold the Attorney General in contempt, then what happens? It would be up to a U.S. Attorney to prosecute the case — which means he would be prosecuting his own boss. Does anyone see a potential conflict of interest there?

On the other hand, Holder could order the U.S. Attorney not to prosecute. Wouldn’t Republicans have a field day with that one?

Unless Republicans in the House agree to meekly back down (something I don’t see happening), it won’t be long before Holder is gone. Some 115 Republican members of Congress have signed a no confidence resolution against Holder. Dozens already called for his resignation. Several members of the Senate, including two members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, echoed that demand.

Holder has been very obliging in the past about doing whatever his boss in the White House wanted. This included refusing to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act and declining to prosecute New Black Panther Party members who were caught on tape in November 2008 trying to intimidate voters.

So I have no doubt that when Barack Obama wants to shove him out the door of Justice, Holder will quickly oblige. As I said before, you can color him gone. But don’t get me wrong. This doesn’t mean that justice has been done at Justice. We’ve got a long way to go — at least until January — before that happens.

Until next time, keep some powder dry.
