Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, today released its 2011 list of Washingtons Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians. The members of the Obama Administration on the list, in alphabetical order, include:
Attorney General Eric Holder
President Barack Obama
Dishonorable Mentions for 2011 include:
Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano
Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius
Attorney General Eric Holder: Attorney General Eric Holder now operates the most politicized and ideological Department of Justice (DOJ) in recent history. And revelations from the Operation Fast and Furious scandal suggest that programs approved by the Holder DOJ may have resulted in the needless deaths of many, including a federal law enforcement officer.
Fast and Furious was a DOJ/Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) gun-running operation in which guns were sold to Mexican drug cartels and others, apparently in hopes that the guns would end up at crime scenes. This reckless insanity seems to have resulted in, among other crimes, the murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, who was killed in a shootout with Mexican criminals in December 2010. Fast and Furious guns were found at the scene of his death.
The Fast and Furious operation by itself should have resulted in Holders resignation, but it is the cover-up that has prompted serious calls for Holders ouster.
