New Project Gunrunner documents peg top DOJ officials
Three Project Gunrunner documents Rep. Darrell Issa, California Republican and House Oversight Committee chairman, released on Wednesday show high-ranking Justice Department officials were aware of Operation Fast and Furious and that there was a consistent administration policy that allowed American guns to be “walked” into Mexican drug cartels’ possession.

Does anyone really think that something this big would be completely unknown and unapproved at the highest levels of the Justice Department?
And yes, I’m looking at you Holder.

Hell, everyone in the media should be all over this like it was Watergate. A couple of agents actually got killed, so it is actually worse than that. Problem is, the story runs counter to their pro gun control instincts, and it requires a thorough and relentless questioning of a democratic administration.
So it ain’t gonna happen.

Too bad there arent WikiLeak docs on this….

from now on it should be called Watergate with dead border guards.

How does Bordergate sound, Jack? Of course, the main question that should be asked is not if Holder knew anything, but “What did Obama know, and when did he know it?”

I thought issa had something up his sleeve. I noticed the manner in which he asked gates if his assistant knew about fast and furious. All issa was doing was getting him to lie on the record…

Furiousgate?

So Holder says, “Duh guns in Mexico? Who knew?”
This is the same holder who says, “Duh Black Panthers threating people at polling places? Who cares!”
2012 can’t come to soon!

Obviously the DOJ was too busy banning online poker to notice.

Markie Marxist sez: “Huh? What? Nothing happened. That’s our story and we’re sticking to it. My commie compadres in the media haven’t noticed anything out of the ordinary either. Just the usual stuff, you know, Mexican criminals buying carloads of guns at gun shows because of the gun lobby and lax gun laws. At least that’s what we tell people. It works for US! Ha! Ha!”
