Innocent people dying was the objective of Fast and Furious, not collateral damage. – Ann Coulter

Rep. Darrell Issa, Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, speaks with Fox News about Department of Justice announcing new charges in the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. The investigation has been going on for eighteen months and Holder and Obama continue to hide 90% of the documents relating to the Fast and furious gun scandal and its coverup.

Eric Holder becomes the first cabinet member ever to be held in contempt of congress for his Nixonian style stonewalling of the investigation of the gun scandal that led to the murder of a US border agent and hundreds of Mexican citizens. 17 Dems voted with all but two GOP congressmen to hold Holder in criminal contempt. 24 Dems and all the GOP voted for civil contempt.

Unfortunately for the Democrats, some brave whistleblower inside the government leaked details of this monstrous scheme. As soon as Congress and the public demanded answers, Holder clammed up. He just says “oops” — and accuses Republicans of racism. – Ann Coulter at Townhall.com

Jon Stewart skewered the Obama Administration for its failed, deadly Operation Fast & Furious, during which the U.S. government let known Mexican drug cartel gun buyers purchase military-grade weapons. The Oversight Committee has been relentlessly exposing this failed program, and will not stop until the Obama Administration officials responsible for the program are held accountable.

Rep. Chaffetz talks about the obstruction and coverup leading to a contempt vote for AG Eric Holder today. Over 20 Democrats are expected to join Republicans in voting to hold Eric Holder in contempt of congress for refusing to divulge 80,000 documents relating to the gun smuggling scandal known as Fast and Furious.

Now the disastrous Fast and Furious gun smuggling operation by the ATF makes sense. We were one of the first sites to accuse Holder and the Obama administration of using the operation as political cover for its anti-gun policies.

Obama personally inserted himself into the Fast & Furious gun walking scandal after he extended executive privilege over certain DOJ documentation. Was the Fast & Furious a botched scandal, or a deliberate effort to undermine the Second Amendment? Bill Whittle asserts that the ideological motives behind the Fast & Furious scandal drove the disastrous program. We agree and we’ve been saying this for over a year.

Oversight Watchdog Darrell Issa (R-CA) discusses Attorney General Eric Holder’s stonewalling of the truth about Operation Fast and Furious, President Obama’s assertion of executive privilege over the deadly gun walking operation documents, and next week’s vote in the US House of Representatives to hold AG Holder in contempt of Congress.

But our caped crusader the President of the United States doesn’t seem to realize he’s not in Chicago anymore. Obama’s job as president is to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America,” which divides the power of government evenly across three branches: legislative, executive and judicial.
