Say Good-Night, Eric… Obama’s March Interview Undermines Holder Testimony to Congress (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, October 14, 2011, 4:11 PM
In May 2011, Attorney General Eric Holder told a Congressional committee under oath that he had just heard about Fast and Furious operation “in the last few weeks.” It later was revealed that Eric Holder had received at least 5 different emails, addressed to him, in 2010 concerning the gun-running program.
Then there’s this…
Back in March 2011, President Obama told CNN Espanol this:
“I heard in the news about this story where, uh, Fast and Furious, uh, allegedly, uh, guns were being run into Mexico and ATF knew about it but didn’t apprehend those who had sent it. Eric Holder, the Attorney General has been very clear he knew nothing about this. We’ve assigned an IG, an Inspector General, to investigate it.
The president’s interview months before Holder’s testimony directly conflicts with the AG’s testimony under oath.
Not good.
Breitbart TV has the video:

It will not help that the Inspector General is a left wing loon who used to work with and for Holder, both in and out of government.

I am trying very hard to continue to believe that there is somebody in my government who still believes in justice, and obeying the law. I’m trying very hard to keep my faith that my government will support the Constitution and has the courage to act on the “law of the land” and will put violators in jail. But is Barney Frank and Chris Dodd in jail for lying to the Congressional Investigation Committee about the solvency of Freddie/Fannie……TWICE??!! NO! And is Bernekey in jail for cooking up the TARP scam when it wasn’t to buy up all the “toxic assets” of all the banks in the country who were holding foreclosed mortages from people who shouldn’t have gotten a loan to begin with?? NO! Bernekey was given a promotion back to the Treasury Dept. by Obama for his “good work” . What good work?? Unless you are trying to collapse the economy by loading it up with so many benefits, debt, spending programs(that originated from Democrats), and just so much money flowing out that the government emplodes on itself. That is called the “Cloward-Piven” stratigie that Clinton, Bush, Obama are using to kill off this nation and make it so weak that it has to let itself into the U.N.’s New World Order in order to survive? I hope not. Because I am not going to let my country be driven into the UN’s New World Order! I will sacrifice myself in acting on my Constitutional right to take my government back. It’s in there, and we all should be knowledgable of what it is that we the people have the right to do if we see that our government is out of control. We should have done it after the Democrats “October Surprise” they put upon us all. When people loose 45% of their savings because Democrats are trying to cause the economy to collapse so they can take the country over? What the hell is that?

How many bureaucrats are there in the government who would shove people into ovens if it would advance their careers. How many jumped up losers with badges would throw you in jail for holding a yard sale without a “permit?” How many bureaucrats would throw you into prison because of false testimony from some child psychologist?
Its sad but I don’t believe anything will happen to Holder, Obama and their minions for the deaths theyare responsible for. I doubt if the Repubs have the backbone to do anything. Just look at McCain and Romney and ask yourself if you’d depend on them in a life threatening emerg4ency for you and your family.
But maybe I will be surprised but I doubt it from what I’ve seen of the FBI, ATF, Justice and State.
progressoverpeace commented:
Does anyone really doubt, at all, that something as stupid and clarly illegal as Fast and Furious came from anywhere but the top of this America-hating adminsitration? I, for one, will not be satisfied unless the Indonesian Imbecile goes down for this attempt to abuse governmental power in order to make a straw case for illegally restricting Americans’ Constitutional right to keep and bear arms. I can’t think of much worse that one can do while holding the levers of governmental power than this.

We have nobody in our legal system, nor our judicial system, nor our law enforcement system, with the “standing” to do anything about any of this — whatever that means.
Only one Judge remains who can (and who desires to) do anything about all this illegality. And He has yet to arrive. (Maranatha.)

Taqiyyotomist commented:
And #21 should be appended to Jim Hoft’s post.
No question. Holder himself openly talked about “Fast and Furious” in 2009.
Those in our law enforcement, investigation, intelligence, and ultimately, jurisprudence systems ALL KNOW THIS.
And they do NOTHING.
Welcome to the USSA.

vamoose commented:
Border patrol agent Brian Terry was gunner down with an F&F weapon on December 14, 2010. Holder should have been informed within hours of this incident and in all likelihood was. Why was Holder not outraged at the death of Brian Terry? Holder has chosen to remain willfully ignorant as people on both sides of the border are killed thanks to the US government’s gun running. For this reason alone Holder should be dismissed by the president.
Jenny commented:
Those damn lies, they’re so hard to keep track of.
tony commented:
I’ve been thinking about gunwalker. I believe any behavior can be understood no matter how bizarre if you understand the goal of the behavior.
The only logical goal I can think of for letting guns by the thousands freely go to Mexico to the cartels with the express purpose of not being traced until found at crime scenes coupled with keeping the Gov of Mexico in the dark can to me only have one goal. To provoke the Gov of Mexico into demanding stricter gun laws for US citizens. In other words our gov was deliberately trying to subvert the constitution by using manipulating the Gov of Mexico. Can anyone think of another goal that makes sense for our government’s behavior?
Alana commented:
I don’t know, guys.
Obama did the CNN Espanol on March 22.
May 22nd also being presumably the day Obama first heard of it.
http://cnsnews.com/news/article/wh-clarifies-obama-told-cnn-espanol-march-he-heard-about-fast-and-furious-news
From then to May 3rd was exactly 7 weeks. A month and three weeks. Which could conceivably be “the past few weeks.”
So I don’t think this is going to do us much good.

They knew about it when they named the plan around 2007. They started the ball roiling around January 09. All it took was the first check cleared for the program to buy the guns of the 111th congress for this well thought out plan years in the making to start.
It is the cover-up where anyone gets caught. Plausible deniability is hard with video.
Michael commented:
@ 27
It goes without saying that Mexican Army and Federal Police can’t win their war with the Zeta drug cartel which is extremely more violent and ruthless than the Sinaloa cartel.
Mexico has secretly enlisted the aid of the Sinaloa cartel to battle the Zetas and this was a clandestine operation to arm the Sinaloa cartel to fight and defeat the Zetas.
This was being done with the full knowledge of the Mexican President, oBama, Hillary Clinton, and Eric Holder.
That is why you hear nary a peep out of Mexico over the whole incident beyond their initial and obligatory “outrage.”

Deputy AG received detailed Fast and Furious briefing
[Documents recently turned over by the Justice Department to
Congressional investigators indicate that then-Deputy Attorney
General Gary Grindler received a detailed briefing on Fast and
Furious more than a year and a half ago.
"Deputy Attorney General" is the Justice Department's
No. 2 figure, directly under Attorney General Eric Holder.
Grindler moved from Deputy Attorney General to
a spot as Holder's chief of staff last January.
The briefing Grindler attended was on March 12, 2010, six months
into ATF's Operation Fast and Furious, which allowed thousands of
weapons on the street in an attempt to track down Mexican drug
cartels. Portions of the documents are redacted.]

jony101 commented:
in the border areas that say “guns and ammos are illegal in mexico”, also export permit is needed to move weapons to mexico. So if the government sent weapons to mexico it is in violation of both US and Mexico laws.
Someone head need to roll for this.

Well look, eh, ah, ah, em, yo – there have been problems yo. Eric and I have to keep our lies straight. It’ Eric’s fault yo cause he didn’t gimme a heads up yo – so… so…. so… I didn’t understand the question, and this interview is over until I can git wit him and cover my a$$. P.S. Eric didn’t understand the question either, and if you weren’t such a racist you would just let it go.
Mandy commented:
Once upon a time there used to be whistleblowers among the civil servants and apparently there are still a few patriotic workers at the ATF and they have been talking to Congress. Wish there were more throughout the government.

Oh, it gets even worse…
There’s a new twist in the government’s “gunwalking” scandal involving an even more dangerous weapon: grenades.
CBS News investigative correspondent Sharyl Attkisson, who has reported on this story from the beginning, said on “The Early Show” that the investigation into the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF)’s so-called “Fast and Furious” operation branches out to a case involving grenades. Sources tell her a suspect was left to traffic and manufacture them for Mexican drug cartels.
Police say Jean Baptiste Kingery, a U.S. citizen, was a veritable grenade machine. He’s accused of smuggling parts for as many as 2,000 grenades into Mexico for killer drug cartels — sometimes under the direct watch of U.S. law enforcement.

Ipso Facto commented:
I am amazed that there are people here that are aghast that people in our government are less then honorable. Where have you people been?
How soon have we forgotten that Hillary worked diligently to defend COP killers when she was a lawyer and that she and her husband are basically grifters with law degrees. And who has forgotten that Obama worked for years with ACORN to subvert the electoral process.
These people are pure vermin.
They all know right up to Obama, exactly what was going on with F&F, Solyndra, etc. You must understand that they get out on the golf course and openly discuss these things and they make it known that they are never to be copied on emails, etc so that they can never even be implicated in wrong doing.
This practice goes way back. When Johnson was President, some aid would come to him and say that Senator so-and-so would like to go on a fishing trip to AK and they were wondering if LBJ would approve the senator flying on a military plane that was going there – for free. LBJ would say, “Well, I could never approve of such a thing.” and everyone knew exactly how to proceed from there. The Senator would get a free ride to AK and back, but there would never be any record of Presidential approval of it, nor would anyone ever know about it.
Obama spends so much time on the golf course because that’s where all the deals are cut and his intentions made known to the underlings who craft the programs we are all learning about now.

Given that link mentions gunrunner by name it seems there is little wiggle room for Holder, or WTF, but then snakes do get by in even tighter spaces. What I do find odd, of all that has been trotted out on this case I do not believe this has ever seen the light of day. Good time to preserve this before You Tube sweeps it down the old memory hole.

How much of that weaponry is now in US cities? THe video of the guys who ambushed a city bus (was it Philly?) to teach one of the hapless riders a “lesson” showed them pulling what looked like AR-15s out of their underpants. They sprayed the bus with bullets. The ONLY good thing was they couldn’t shoot straight … target practice inside the cities is harder to hide than the weapons themselves. They only needed a couple minutes to arrive on site, ready to shoot, pretty fast reactions to a phone call. Where the hell did they get those weapons?

————————————————————————————————————-
We]ll see, Rock–The original Gunrunner Initiative was indeed enacted in 2005. However it was not intended to do anything other than make gun smuggling investigations more consistent. The fact is that oBama signed off on it in 2009 and used Recovery money to fund it.There is no “rule” that the name has to change when you change the objectives of an operation.
As I said, it’s oBama’s baby. He signed off on it, he is responsible for what it morphed into and what happened to it after his signature was put on it in 2009:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PNhYk9NuNc&feature=player_embedded
Deputy AG Ogden discusses the fact that per oBama’s orders, the ATF and DEA were combining forces for the Project Gunrunner’ to facilitate ‘gun tracing.’ The Fast/ Furious (and any and all other ATF ‘smuggling’ ops) part is totally oBama/Holder and crew’s baby, bought and paid for – with the blood of untold numbers of citizens of Mexico and at least 2 Americans – Agent Brian Terry and Jaime Zapata.

Obama has presented the Nation with a forged Birth Certificate that he refuses to allow the forensic examination of.
This despite the fact that “expert after expert” have declared the alleged Long Form Birth Certificate a likely forgery.
Obama also has presented the Nation with a Social Security Number that he has used on his tax returns and his Selective Service Registration Form.
A Social Security Number that inexplicably was issued by a state that Obama never resided in.
A Social Security Number that failed an e-verify system check!
The truth is Obama was never properly vetted by Congress and does not meet the Constitutional Eligibility Requirements to be POTUS.
What is further, given Obama’s numerous shady associations with gansters and terrorists (for example Bill Ayers, Tony Rezko) Obama could not have passed a background check that would allow him enough clearence to the scrub toliets of any self-respecting intelligence agency.
Yet here Obama is, acting as Commander and Chief, commiting troops to war after war without Congressional authorization.
It’s time to stop the insanity people!
It’s time to demand a Congressional Investigation of all of Obama’s Identity Papers now!
