Holder keeps holding out on Fast and Furious information for the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform’s investigation into the disastrous gun running scandal. Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, went on Fox News’ America Live with Megyn Kelly to discuss the latest developments and the pending contempt charge for AG Eric Holder.

New questions arise in the Obama administrations scheme to push guns to Mexican drug cartels for political reasons. A gun trafficker was released three times by federal agents. He was even released after being in a shootout with a semi-automatic .45.

Katie Pavlich’s new book Fast and Furious chronicles the gun scandal set up by the Obama administration as political cover for bypassing congress with executive orders to establish gun control. The disastrous scheme turned bloody when the guns allowed to be smuggled by the DOJ turned up at the murder scene of a U.S. border agent and in the deaths of hundreds of Mexican citizens.

The White House continues to block testimony of a key witness in the gun scandal known as Fast and Furious that contributed to the death of a US border agent and hundreds of Mexican citizens. The operation was conceived as apolitical stunt to actually increase the American guns used in Mexican drug cartel violence so that the Obama administration could have cover for using executive orders to impose gun restrictions without congress.

Obama’s White House continues to prevent a key witness from testifying about the ATF gun scandal. A former ATF agent with ties to the White House has been told not to testify before the House committee investigating the gun smuggling scandal in which the Justice Department allowed guns to be sold to straw buyers and then to Mexican drug cartels resulting in the death of a US border agent and hundreds of Mexican citizens.

Rep. Darrell Issa discusses a second American murder victim from Operation Fast and Furious. “You don’t have the right to get two hundred Mexicans and at least two Americans murdered in the name of quote following the guns loosely to the scene of the crime. … Each time we get a little additional information we begin to realize this problem goes much higher with much greater approvals than the Attorney General would have us believe.”

[W]ith the widespread knowledge of gun-walking among federal officials in Arizona, Coulson said there’s “no way” people in Washington, D.C., at ATF headquarters and in the Department of Justice didn’t know what was going on. – Daily Caller
