BREAKING - Eric Holder cleared on "Fast and Furious"

When government does it, it's a "misstep" or "serious failure".

When a Mundane does it, it's a felony and the Mundane goes to the rape cage.

(CBS/AP) The Justice Department's inspector general cleared Attorney General Eric Holder Wednesday of knowing about the gun-walking operation known as Fast and Furious that allowed thousands of weapons to cross into Mexico.


But Inspector General Michael Horowitz concluded that there were "serious failures" at both the Justice Department and its Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives going back more than six years, CBS Radio News reporter Stephanie Lambidakis reports.


Horowitz found that no one running the operations -- not agents, nor prosecutors, nor managers -- questioned the wisdom of letting guns vanish across the border with Mexico, where they ended up in the hands of drug traffickers.


Two of the 2,000 weapons thought to have been acquired by illicit buyers in the Fast and Furious investigation were recovered at the scene of a 2010 shootout with drug traffickers that claimed the life of U.S. border agent Brian Terry. About 1,400 of the total have yet to be recovered.


In his 471-page report, Horowitz referred more than a dozen people for possible department disciplinary action for their roles in Fast and Furious and a separate, earlier probe known as Wide Receiver, undertaken during the George W. Bush administration.

I'm sure that brings a measure of relief to the suffering of the Terry family. Christ, what a corrupt system.

This is my "not surprised" face.

And how many of the drug traffickers died or were seriously wounded? You only hear about Terry, but people don't normally just leave firearms at the scene of a firefight...

[cajuncocoa]

I'm shocked :rolleyes:

[Danke]

I knew all along he was innocent.

[donnay]

This is the kind of justice that happens within the hijacked system.

I am definitely not shocked on this news.

Corzine was caught stealing money from private accounts and was slapped on the wrist. Bank robbers serve long jail times when they are caught when they are not members of the white shoe boys club.

So what your saying is, I can sell some gats to a few Hispanic's across the boarder and be ok?

[jmdrake]

The executive branch investigates the executive branch and exonerates itself. And of course republicans won't even consider bringing back the special prosecutor law because they are corrupt themselves.

[Pericles]

I am not a crook. - Eric Holder, wait, or was that ....

[torchbearer]

Eric Holders directive to his subs was, "guys, just do whatever you think is best- and if you come up with any risky schemes, don't bother asking for my permision to start it"

[Pericles]

Outcome predicted last year:

Awesome!

[Carehn]

The least they could have done is given him 6 months off with pay.... Is there no justice?

Gerald Celente much?

[idiom]

Doesn't belong here, but this was the closest relevant thread today, and I liked it.

Since when is this type of activity called "Gun Walking!?"

It's always been called "gun running". Are they Goebbelsian enough to play such word games?

[HOLLYWOOD]

LOL...

The Illusion of Rule of Law... OK American Mundanes, back to your TV sets for more; American Idol, DTWS, 2 1/2 Morons, MTV, & Sponge Bob

Gerald Celente much?

Not to pick nits, sir or madam, but is Gerald Celente wrong much?

[better-dead-than-fed]

same inspector general who made no response to my complaint that DOJ agents held me for eight months without legal authority, all the while denying me medical care on which my life depended.

Rand should harp on this and make them squirm. Can Ron introduce articles of impeachment against Holder?

[JoshLowry]

We're way past due for a new zoo and set of zookeepers.

[GunnyFreedom]

when encountering Holder supporters:

"Even if he genuinely didn't know, the mere fact that he didn't know makes him guilty of dereliction and gross incompetence leading to the death of a Federal Agent. So either he knew and should be indicted for complicity, or he didn't know and should be indicted for negligence. What his own personal investigator happens to uncover about his own personal role here is frankly irrelevant."

By Hispanics do you mean Mexican drug cartels? Then yes.

[GunnyFreedom]

By Hispanics do you mean Mexican drug cartels? Then yes.

Yeah man, even if they kill people you just did it, I mean you didn't know anything about it. Your guns, your money your operation, but of course you didn't know anything about it.

If this guy was Al Capone he'd be out cracking the Dom Perignon with his cronies about now for beating a racketeering charge.
