Exposing Eric Holder's Obstruction of Justice
Have they no shame? Just days before it was announced
that documents regarding the Fast and Furious gunrunning scandal were to be
released after being hidden for six years under executive privilege,
there was former Obama attorney
general Eric Holder responding
to a question on Bill Maher's show:
"Did you protect President Obama?"
Maher asked Holder on Friday.
The former attorney general drew applause from the studio audience when he
quipped: "The difference between me and Jeff Sessions is, I had a
president I did not have to protect."
Holder had used nearly the same line in an
interview with The
Washington Post last month. Maher didn't challenge him to
defend it, but some critics have accused Holder of protecting
Obama for years.
In 2012, Holder became the first sitting
attorney general to be held in contempt of Congress – in
a 255-to-67 vote – for refusing to turn over documents related to
a botched gun-running investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Holder did have a president to protect, as well as himself,
partners in a criminal scheme to run guns into Mexico and into the hands of
Mexican drug lords, guns that led to the deaths of border agents Brian
Terry and Jaime Zapata. He was protecting a president who
recently made his own self-serving
and false claim:
When Barack Obama spoke at
the 12th annual MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference in Boston, MA, many
of us scratched our heads as to why the event was off-the-record. No
photography, recording, or social media posting about Obama's appearance was
allowed. Obviously, he would not be talking about
golf. But, with over 3,500 people in attendance, there was no way
this speech would be hidden for long. As expected, a
recording of Obama's appearance was leaked.
Obama said a lot of things over the course of an
hour, but I'd like to focus on his claim that, while some people in his
administration made mistakes, "We didn't have a scandal that embarrassed us."
...
Obama may not be embarrassed by Fast and Furious,
Benghazi, the IRS scandal, the VA scandal, Solyndra, the OPM hacking scandal,
the GSA scandal, the Iran Ransom scandal, Uranium One, or the FISA abuse
scandal currently being unraveled, but he should be. And the media
should be embarrassed at how they failed the American public by pretending
these scandals didn't exist, or weren't important.
You can't be embarrassed if you are incapable of feeling shame
over causing the death of two border agents and hundreds of Mexican nationals
targeted by Mexican drug lords. This may change with the announced
release of the documents hidden away by Eric Holder:
The Justice Department entered into a conditional
settlement agreement with the House Oversight and Government Reform
Committee. The settlement agreement was filed in federal court in
Washington D.C., and ends six years of litigation arising out of the previous
administration's refusal to produce records requested by the committee.
"The Department of Justice under my watch is
committed to transparency and the rule of law," Attorney General Jeff
Sessions said in a statement Wednesday. "This settlement
agreement is an important step to make sure that the public finally receives
all the facts related to Operation Fast and Furious."
Holder's obstruction of justice and lying to Congress were crimes
that went unpunished. As Rep. Darrell Issa, who headed the House
Oversight Committee during the Fast and Furious investigation, has
noted. But as with the current scandals involving Hillary Clinton
and Uranium One, pay-for-play at the Clinton Foundation, and the corruption of
the FISA court process by the FBI and DOJ to aid one party's attempt to collude
with the Russians to overturn a sitting president, Holder was not counting on a
Trump election to expose
his corruption:
Estimates peg the number of deaths as a direct
result of the gun-running scheme – which evidence indicates was intentional –
at a staggering 200 or more. In Fast and Furious: Barack Obama's
Bloodiest Scandal and Its Shameless Cover-Up, Townhall editor Katie Pavlich
made the compelling case that former President Barack Obama and then-Attorney
General Eric Holder. Holder "did willfully and knowingly
sanction the program in order to advance their anti-second amendment
agenda." ...
"They (the new documents) will show what we
already know. That Eric Holder was directly involved in the cover
up. He is a lawyer and should be disbarred," Rep. Issa
said. "Eric Holder has systematically obstructed justice not
just against the Senate and House but against the Terri [sic] family's
legitimate right to know. And then he lied to me personally about
all the documents that were necessary to be fully compliant with our
requests."
Holder and Obama tried to hide the truth not only from the
American people, but from the grieving family of Brian Terry. Recently, in the
shadow of the Russia investigations and the testimony of former FBI director
James Comey, the House Oversight Committee produced a fact-laden report
documenting the collusion between the administration of President Barack
Hussein Obama and Mexican drug cartels and the obstruction of justice by
Attorney General Eric Holder in this...er,
"matter." As Fox
News reported:
Members of a congressional committee at a public
hearing Wednesday blasted former President Barack Obama and his attorney
general for allegedly covering up an investigation into the death of a Border
Patrol agent killed as a result of a botched government gun-running project
known as Operation Fast and Furious.
The House Oversight Committee also Wednesday
released a scathing, nearly 300-page report that found Holder's Justice
Department tried to hide the facts from the loved ones of slain Border Patrol
[agent] Brian Terry – seeing his family as more of a "nuisance" than
one deserving straight answers – and slamming Obama's assertion of executive
privilege to deny Congress access to records pertaining to Fast and Furious[.]
...
Terry's death exposed Operation Fast and Furious,
a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) operation in which
the federal government allowed criminals to buy guns in Phoenix-area shops with
the intention of tracking them as they were transported into
Mexico. But the agency lost track of more than 1,400 of the 2,000
guns they allowed smugglers to buy. Two of those guns were found at
the scene of Terry's killing.
"More than five years after Brian's murder,
the Terry family still wonders about key details of Operation Fast and
Furious," the committee's report states. "The (Holder)
Justice Department's obstruction of Congress's investigation contributed to the
Terry family's inability to find answers."
ATF Special Agent John Dodson is a national hero
who in 2011 blew the whistle on Operation Fast and Furious, the Obama
administration's gun-running operation to Mexico.
Testifying before Congress, he disclosed that his
supervisors had authorized the flow of semiautomatic weapons into Mexico
instead of interdicting them, weapons that found their way into the hands of
Mexican drug cartels with deadly results.
Dodson has put his intimate Fast and Furious
knowledge into a book titled "The Unarmed Truth." It
provides the first inside account of how the Obama administration permitted and
helped sell some 2,000 guns to Mexican drug cartels, guns used in the murder of
two federal agents and hundreds of Mexican citizens[.] ...
The operation was exposed when Brian was killed
in December 2010 by an illegal immigrant [sic] working for the Sinaloa Cartel
near Nogales, Ariz., just 10 miles from Mexico. Two Fast and Furious weapons
were found at the murder scene.
Two such weapons also were used to murder
Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agent Jaime Zapata in Mexico on Feb. 15,
2011, came [sic] from suspects who were under ATF watch but not arrested at the
time[.] ...
"Allowing loads of weapons that we knew to
be destined for criminals, this was the plan. It was so
mandated," Dodson, then attached to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives' (ATF) Phoenix office, testified before Rep. Darrell
Issa's House Government Reform and Oversight Committee on June 15, 2011.
"Rather than conduct enforcement actions, we
took notes, we recorded observations, we tracked movements of these individuals
for a short time after their purchases, but nothing more," Dodson
testified.
"Knowing all the while, just days after
these purchases, the guns that we saw these individuals buy would begin turning
up at crime scenes in the United States and Mexico, we still did nothing."
Hopefully now we will learn everything and do something about the
criminal enterprise that was the Obama administration and the criminal who was
Eric Holder.

“Obama’s
new home in Washington has been described as the “nerve center” of the
anti-Trump opposition. Former attorney general Eric Holder has said
that Obama is “ready to roll” and has aligned himself with the
“resistance.” Former high-level Obama campaign staffers now work with a
variety of groups organizing direct action against
Trump’s initiatives. “Resistance School,” for example, features
lectures by former campaign executive Sara El-Amine, author of the Obama Organizing.”

"Cold War historian Paul Kengor
goes deeply into Obama's communist background in an article in
American Spectator, "Our First Red Diaper Baby President," and in an
excellent Mark Levin interview. Another Kengor article describes the Chicago communists whose
younger generation include David Axelrod, Valerie Jarrett, and Barack Hussein
Obama. Add the openly Marxist, pro-communist Ayers, and you have many of the key players who put Obama into
power." Karin
