How did obama know about fast and the furious before holder did?
Why do they refuse to talk to Mukasey?
Since Fast and the furious started in 2009 Mukasey wasn't around when it started.
Thats like wanting to question Henry Ford about how to build a 2012 Ford. Even though he built the first Ford ever

Yeap and he could testify as to why the tactic was tried again huh?
If it failed under Mukasey he could PROVE that it should not have been retried huh?
if what you peopel all claim ins true then he would be a damning witness.
why not call this damning witness?
Because his testimoney would NOT produce what you people claim.
I dont know , maybe you people just want to make Obama a one termer.

Two years ago, Mexican President Calderon told a Joint Session of Congress that the drug cartels in his country were exploiting weak American gun laws to amass their arsenals; indeed, he said the escalation of Mexican drug violence "coincides with the lifting of the assault weapons ban in 2004." President Calderon told the Congress of his understanding that the purpose of the Second Amendment "is to guarantee good American citizens the ability to defend themselves and their Nation." "But believe me," he added, "many of these guns are not going to honest American hands."
Since his address, it has become even clearer that Mexican crime guns are originating in American gun shops. Last month, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives released its most recent data showing that, in the last five years, more than 68,000 crime guns were recovered in Mexico and traced back to the United States. The guns that "walked" across the border under the "Fast and Furious" operation constitute less than 3% of those guns. Where is Speaker Boehner's concern about the other 97%?
Not only has the Republican House majority done nothing to stem the trafficking of guns to Mexico; it has acted to block the modest efforts of the Obama Administration to address the problem. The House twice has voted to block continued implementation of the Administration's regulatory requirement that multiple sales of semi-automatic rifles in the border states be promptly reported to ATF to give the law enforcers real-time notice of the suspicious gun sales that are feeding the cartels.
Given that "Fast and Furious" has been rightly criticized for allowing guns to "walk" to Mexico, it seems odd that House Republicans would object to a regulation that is enabling ATF to better stop trafficked guns before they get to the border and to arrest the traffickers.
This is the ultimate hypocrisy. Lives are being lost every day because of the actions these same members of Congress refuse to take. It's just shameful. The American people need to hold them accountable. There is plenty [House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell] Issa and others in Congress could do to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people and actually save lives. They instead choose to perpetuate divisive party politics and the gun lobby's dark agenda. No wonder their approval rating is low.

It appeared obama tried to help holder when he invoked the executive privilege but what actually happenedOther failed versions of F/F were going on under other administrations but the out of control ATF decided to up the ante with a big score when they had a cooperative but stupid administration.. As the bigoted neo-comedian Bill Maher joked, nobody cared about a couple of hundred dead Mexican civilians killed by weapons furnished in the insane program but wouldn't you know it a US Border Patrol agent was shot in the back. The mainstream liberal media tried to ignore it but more bad luck for Barry Hussein happened, republicans gained the majority in the House. Holder tried to weave and dodge and even tried a hail mary play with "exec. privilege" but the excrement's done hit the fan and the administration is in trouble.
If it's from something colter said yes it's partisan from a bush basher.The Atlantic? Really.
And both my eyeballs land in the same socket from all the rollage.
Let Cspan be your guideLife would be so much easier over here if you could only read and comprehend.
Much, much easier.
Dude, you blew off the President of Mexico, a direct quote.
