This should be getting more press. A 2 bit burglary opposed to selling arms to Mexico and not tracking them and using them against our agents, in the meantime killing hundreds if not thousands.

Cover up brought Nixon down and certainly should have brought at least Holder and this administration for it's "do nothing" attitude.

Yep,the Liberal Press sure dids loves thems some Watergate. I agree,this Fast & Furious scandal is so much worse. But the Liberal Press can't touch it. The Liberal Press only engages in investigative journalism when a Republican is in the White House. Obama & Holder are their guys. They can't cover it. But i do have to give Kudos to CNN. They did dare to touch it. Now of course they'll likely dismiss it but at least there was a glimmer of some journalistic integrity over there. And that's very very rare in the Liberal Press. I do hope Holder and this President are held accountable. But i wont hold my breathe waiting for that.

Federal official to plead the fifth; Won't answer questions on Fast & Furious
The chief of the Criminal Division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Arizona is refusing to testify before Congress regarding Operation Fast and Furious, the federal gun-running scandal that sent U.S. weapons to Mexico.

Patrick J. Cunningham informed the House Oversight Committee late Thursday through his attorney that he will use the Fifth Amendment protection. Cunningham was ordered Wednesday to appear before Chairman Darrell Issa and the House Oversight Committee regarding his role in the operation that sent more than 2,000 guns to the Sinaloa Cartel. Guns from the failed operation were found at the murder scene of Border Agent Brian Terry. The letter from Cunningham’s Washington DC attorney stunned congressional staff. Last week, Cunningham, the second highest ranking U.S. Attorney in Arizona, was scheduled to appear before Issa‘s committee voluntarily. Then, he declined and Issa issued a subpoena.

Cunningham is represented by Tobin Romero of Williams and Connolly who is a specialist in white collar crime. In the letter, he suggests witnesses from the Department of Justice in Washington, who have spoken in support of Attorney General Eric Holder, are wrong or lying. “Department of Justice officials have reported to the Committee that my client relayed inaccurate information to the Department upon which it relied in preparing its initial response to Congress. If, as you claim, Department officials have blamed my client, they have blamed him unfairly,” the letter to Issa says.

Romero claims Cunningham did nothing wrong and acted in good faith, but the Department of Justice in Washington is making him the fall guy, claiming he failed to accurately provide the Oversight Committee with information on the execution of Fast and Furious. "To avoid needless preparation by the Committee and its staff for a deposition next week, I am writing to advise you that my client is going to assert his constitutional privilege not to be compelled to be a witness against himself." Romero told Issa.

This schism is the first big break in what has been a unified front in the government’s defense of itself in the gun-running scandal. Cunningham claims he is a victim of a conflict between two branches of government and will not be compelled to be a witnesses against himself, and make a statement that could be later used by a grand jury or special prosecutor to indict him on criminal charges.

He has several watergates: high unemployment, solyndra, fast and furious, failed polices scattering the landscape, and the list goes on.

Obama has so many scandals, the RNC wont be able to create enough commercials in the swing states, they may as well make a few one minute ads, each with about a 5 second bit of his worst screw ups.

If this was "Obama's Watergate" the the Republicans would be all over it already. Problem is is this extends back to the Bush Administration when it was called something else. Republicans won't push an investigation if there's a chance Republican d*cks would get smashed too.

This has to be done by reporters from outside the beltway.
