http://www.breitbart.tv/how-did-obama-know-about-fast-and-furious-before-holder/#.TpgnW-Gn5gE.twitterCourtesy of Breitbart TV, the endgame for Attorney General Eric Holder begins with a CNN video clip in which President Obama says he knew about Operation Fast and Furious before Holder claims he knew about it:
Game, set, and match. Or will Holder upgrade his “incompetence” defense to claim he not only doesn’t read his briefings or follow media coverage of vital Justice Department affairs, he doesn’t even follow what the President of the United States says about those affairs? Is he really going to try staying in office by claiming he’s virtually unconscious?
I repeat my call for the immediate removal of Attorney General Eric Holder from office, while he awaits trial for perjury.
Speaking of Obama’s involvement in the Fast and Furious scandal, Roll Call has a story that amplifies on something I noted about the massive subpoena House Oversight sent to Holder: investigators are very interested in how the White House has been orchestrating the cover-up.
The subpoena demands “all communications” to or from Holder and 15 other top Justice Department officials on Fast and Furious, as well as every weekly update memo to Holder on any topic over a nearly two-year period. Issa contends that Holder may have learned about the program much earlier than he has acknowledged, and the California Republican been conducting a blitz of media interviews making that point.
The subpoena also requires Holder to produce “all communications between and among Department of Justice (DOJ) employees and Executive Office of the President employees, including but not limited to Associate Communications Director Eric Schultz, referring or relating to Operation Fast and Furious or any other firearms trafficking cases.”
“We know there were communications that did go to the White House on Fast and Furious. We’ve been told that they were personal communications that just happened to occur. We wanted an official assurance on that,” Issa told Roll Call on Wednesday, jokingly referring to Schultz as “my friend.”
Apparently Issa’s is doing a “Columbo” routine, in which his jocular desire to “just clear a few things up” will be followed by that devastating “oh, I just had one more question” moment:
But a GOP source familiar with the committee’s investigation said there was more to the request.
“The question is whether the White House has been instructing the Justice Department on what [documents] to release,” the source said.
Of course, the Democrats will do everything they can to obstruct the investigation:
Oversight and Government Reform ranking member Elijah Cummings assailed Issa’s document demands. “This subpoena is a deep-sea fishing expedition and a gross abuse of the committee’s authority,” the Maryland Democrat said. “It demands tens of thousands of pages of highly sensitive law enforcement and national security materials that have never been requested before and are completely unrelated to Operation Fast and Furious. Rather than legitimate fact-gathering, this looks more like a political stunt.”
No surprises there. As the investigation into Operation Fast and Furious rolls past the deeply compromised Attorney General, the Democrat Party will become increasingly frantic to throw down speed bumps, followed by roadblocks.
