Issa Says He Doesn’t Believe Holder’s Testimony Was Accurate

(CNSNews.com) - House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) says he does not believe Attorney General Eric Holder gave accurate testimony when Issa questioned him in the House Judiciary Committee on May 3.

In that testimony, Holder told the Judiciary Committee he had “probably” heard only in the “last few weeks” about the Justice Department’s “Operation Fast and Furious.” Issa told CNSNews.com he is convinced—“absolutely”—that Holder knew about the operation earlier than he claimed.

Operation Fast and Furious, begun in 2009, purposefully allowed known and suspected smugglers to purchase weapons at licensed gun dealers in the United States—sometimes while under active surveillance by U.S. law enforcement-and then allowed the smugglers to get away with the weapons, in some cases delivering them, as the government expected, to Mexican drug cartels. Agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) were specifically ordered not to stop the purchases, not to intercept the smugglers after they made the purchases, and not to retrieve the weapons.

The purpose of the operation was to let the Justice Department trace the movement of the guns and uncover the full structure of the gun-smuggling operations.

Issa Says He Doesn’t Believe Holder’s Testimony Was Accurate

Darrell Issa reminds me of a bulldog hanging onto a bone! And I say that in the most complimentary way imaginable. I just hope he shakes this *bone* until the whole Fast and Furious debacle plays out and all the guilty parties are exposed and are paying the price for their sheer stupidity.

I have had quite a few folks ask me “Fred, why do you hate Obama and his administration so much?”…yes, they were liberals, no Conservative would have to ask.

Some have actually had the GALL to post an occasional comment on the blog about how we are all a bunch of *rumor mongers* and are evil Obama haters.

If being an Obama hater and ferreting out the truth regarding the evil and illegal actions of Barack Hussein Obama and his band of ne’er do wells makes me a *rumor monger*, well, I guess I’ll wear that tag too. There…are you all happy now?

Here’s one more piece of video evidence concerning the Obama regime and Operation Fast and Furious.

So, does using VIDEO evidence taken directly from the Obama administration make me a rumor monger too?

The date on that 2nd video is March 24, 2009.

Let’s make sure there is NO WAY for me to have misunderstood in any way.

Wasn’t Barack Hussein Obama sworn in as POTUS on January 20, 2009? I want to be very certain on this, mostly because I don’t want there to be any gray area where Obama can do his normal shuck and jive and blame Bush.

So, given the FACT that Obama became POTUS on January 20, 2009 and the order to go after the cartels was publicized on March 24, 2009, does it not stand to reason that this is Obama’s baby?

It sounds to me like Obama authorized *something*, maybe it wasn’t Fast and Furious, but he authorized DOJ, and through them, the affiliated agencies under the DOJ banner, to go after Mexican drug cartels.

If I am understanding this correctly, it was said to GO AFTER THE CARTELS, not become their best friend and most reliable gun supplier.

I don’t know who hatched this Fast and Furious monstrosity but I do know this, it had to have been authorized from *on high*, maybe not the White House itself, but the Attorney General, as head of Justice, had to be IN the loop and had to have given his approval.

Fast and Furious was NOT the brainchild of some low to mid level agent at DEA, the FBI or the BATFE.
