Holder Suggests Fast And Furious Guns Will Show Up At Crime Scenes In U.S. And Mexico For “Years To Come”…
And the Obama admin will be accessories to murder for years to come.
WASHINGTON — Attorney General Eric Holder suggested Thursday that weapons lost during the course of the failed “Fast and Furious” gunrunning operation will continue to show up at crime scenes in the U.S. and Mexico “for years to come.”
Holder, in testimony on Capitol Hill that comes as the congressional investigation into the program expands, decried the “gun-walking” tactic used in the operation as “inexcusable” and “wholly unacceptable.” But a day after an influential senator called for the resignation of one of Holder’s top deputies over the scandal, Holder denied department leaders played any role in the crafting of Fast and Furious.
He continued to assert that top Justice officials were not told about the “inappropriate tactics” until they were made public.
Still, the top law enforcement official in the country conceded that, as a result of Fast and Furious, guns lost by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives remain in the hands of criminals.
“Although the department has taken steps to ensure that such tactics are never used again, it is an unfortunate reality that we will continue to feel the effects of this flawed operation for years to come,” he said. “Guns lost during this operation will continue to show up at crime scenes on both sides of the border.”

And that will be his downfall.
Obama cant pardon him for a crime that hasn’t occurred yet.
Twist in knots you much?
YOUR people are the cause of all those guns walking loose and YOUR criminal attempt at subverting OUR second amendment rights is a massive fail.
Top officials didn’t know? yeah right.. I call bullshit. Some mid level guys decided to sell assault rifles to drug cartels all on their own? You know that is bullshit.
Holder, do not pass go, go straight to PRISON!
“He (Holder) used the occasion to prod Congress to support efforts to give the department broader legal tools to track firearms purchases”.
Right – give them “broader” tools…..
Wasn’t this about more “gun control” from the beginning?
Holder should be indited for this FAST & FURRIOUS becuase he isnt about the law and nether is OBAMA
It has ALWAYS been about gun control since 1968! 1968 – the first case of a whole city banning gun ownership; Morton Grove, IL (a suburb of you guessed it – Chicago). Ever since then it has been a constant battle of the liberal, progressive demtards to take away private ownership of guns whereby the government can then force their will on the population without fear of reprisal. Holder, Clinton, Obongo, Jarrett and a whole list of others are TOTALLY responsible for this. This corruption goes from who planned it all the way down to who funded it (Congress) and they should all be tried for murder or accessory to murder – party immaterial.
Hey Holder, you fraud, your libtard buddies may believe you but the REAL Americans don’t.
Just think, had the TEA Party not come out to drive the 2010 midterm elections, none of this would ever have seen the light of day with Dems still in charge of the House. And y’know, I just can’t believe Obama allows this to continue… surely there’s still room under his bus for Holder.
Holder, in testimony on Capitol Hill that comes as the congressional investigation into the program expands, decried the “gun-walking” tactic used in the operation as “inexcusable” and “wholly unacceptable.”
Easy words to say…but Holder and the rest of this rotten bunch are not willing to accept the responsibility. Cowards! I find it amazing that Holder and Co. are not defending themselves from behind prison walls.
Time for someone to prosecute these buffoons with the same alacrity as the DOJ have for several of our Border Patrol agents (Ramos and Campeon come immediately to mind).
No way is Hussein inclined to fire this guy or anyone else, esp during his election theft.
Hey Eric,
You and your buds want some more gun control….come on down and see if you can control mine…..Those damn thing just go pop,pop,pop….all the time.
I’ll go ahead and say what most folks know……………if his ass was white he would be awaiting trial by now……
Years? Try decades.
Liars, tax cheats, AND murderers – WOW, how long can you keep doing business like this??
God bless America, our troops, Israel, and decent fellow humans.
Gun Control was the main purpose of the operation.

But we all knew this from the first day.
Why haven’t the Congressional hearings talked about that?
I give Issa and his Committee an -A- for effort, but the unchecked corruption of this Department of Justice is beyond breathtaking.
The Black Panther voter intimidation case being dismissed should have made heads roll.
Eric “the Red” Holder only needs to say he and his minions never read an assortment of memos addressed to them and Congress ho- hums and says lets move on.
The intended cover-up, and an outright letter to Congress, full of lies , just gets a mulligan.
What’s next, John Corzine telling Congress – “I simply do not know where the money is.”
“Ok John, thanks for coming in, have a nice life”.
I finally got it!!!! I know where I have seen holder before.
He is the black version of Howard Sprague from Mayberry R.F.D.
…all enemies foreign and domestic….
And this Turd will e-mail it in every time he is told to send condolences to the families……….”what what….you want me to apologize…….that would be like me admitting guilt….not going to happen….nope nope aint going to do it….”
Extradite Holder, Obama, Clinton, Napolitano and everyone esle that had any thing to do with this to Mexico for prosecution. The Mexicans have asked us to do that already. Wouldn’t it be great to know all those criminals are rotting in Mexican prisons. Yeah!
Why in God’s name was he approved? This was entirely preventable. What’s his name’s origins should have been investigated when questions arose. Someday, historians will look back and ask why this was allowed to happen. Why did everyone go along, instead of some people standing up, and stopping it.

Eric Holder, the Murderous Meerkat.
Reminds me of the thinking behind Solyndra. It was risky business but life is not for the timid.
Holder undermines the consitiution in his sleep. He cant be troubled with little stuff. Life belongs to the bold. I suppose he will still be wondering what happened while he sits in jail.
When I look at my son, I often wonder how Brian Terry’s mom can look at photos of him as a grown up, and not see a three year old looking back. Sometimes when I look at my teenager, I still see a three year old in my own mind. It’s sad beyond belief for her and the others who’ve died.
Eric Holder, Zero, and the rest will suffer at some point in their lives. Life always gets even. We reap what we sow. They should all be locked up, or executed for Treason, that includes Chaz Napolitano and that ugly, Marxist, hag, Clinton. I spit on all of them. God is keeping score, and in the bible, it says vengeance will be his.
This hearing is as big a joke as the last one!
@Zcat:
Agreed. Until we see this pos frog marched out of his office, all cheap bread and circus.
Beck had the head of the NRA on this 5pm show it was unreal some of the things he said about what the Obama administration is trying to do with gun control. He feels if Obamas re-elected you can say goodbye to 2nd amendments, and trying to buy guns.
__
he’s made sure of that
Why are the calling on mosting democrats, and the crazy ones at that! I’m emailing Issa this is pure bullshit!
Liar and crook.
Finally!!! So, the DOJ has set these meeting only when other issues are involved!

*Why in God’s name was he approved?*
Simply because he is an affirmative action POS and the Republicans at the confirmation hearings were and still are scared to death of being labeled racist if they did not support oBama’s choices.
His corruption in the Clinton Administration with regards to pardons for FALN terrorist and fugitive Marc Rich, should have nade him disqualified at the onset.

—————————————-
LOL!!! You are right on the money – as soon as you wrote that I saw Sprague in my mind and then he became Holder.
I have been watching this hearing all morning. Holder’s arrogance is staggering. His responses and body language all betray his guilt and wholesale corruption. It is clear that he is irritated that anyone would dare question him about anything. The answers he has provided thus far are ridiculous and to say they are evasive is being generous.
It is remarkable that there is a clear bias along the lines of race in this hearing. Conyers, Scott and Jackson Lee have offered nothing but fluff and bias in their questions which are clearly designed to shelter Holder and diminish the enormity of this scandal. Conyers and Scott seem to have been drinking heavily, considering their droning, babbling slurred speech. Jackson Lee is just a truly stupid and incoherent nightmare. She is more akin to a balding water buffalo than any kind of “representative” of the people. How she ever got there is a mystery for the ages.
Issa and Sensenbrenner have been the most direct with Holder and even Chairman Smith has asked some rather pointed questions but so far, I have not seen the level of attack that this issue deserves, nor am I confident that any of this will result as it should with Holder indicted, Obama impeached and the entire ATF disbanded.
To see this circus taking place in light of the severity of the attack F&F represents against out freedoms and against our nation as a whole is utterly frightening and staggering in it’s implications.
The Republic is in peril.

This administration knows no bounds of lying. It will wind up in history as the President that “saved” us by bringing us to socialism or The administration that tried to bring down the Republic.
Absolutely the most crooked administration there has ever been.
I’ve been waiting on Jason Cheffetz questioning….Yay! I love this guy!
Holder and all those associated with “Fast and Furious” should show up in federal prison for years to come.
No worries…you can serve those sentences consecutively…
I took an oath to defend the constitution of this country from enemies both foreign and domestic. The people behind this whose ultimate goal is to kill the second ammendment as it applies to an individual right to bare arms, should all be viewed as domestic enemies to the American way of life. These people are more of a threat to American society than any ratical religious group and unfortunately most of the people are either high up in government where there is no accountability or they are people like Sunstein and Sorros, the money behind the machine.
In a sane America, that adheres to the Constitution, Holder would already be in prison.
Vote all the shitstains out in 2012.
