Excerpt:: Will Fast And Furious Justice Finally Befall Eric Holder WASHINGTON, DC - NOVEMBER 08: U.S. Attorney G... U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder testifies during a Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing about the controversial the 'Operation Fast and Furious' gun running program. (Image credit: Getty Images via @daylife) Serial abuses of justice by America’s top law enforcement official should be enough to make just about any tinhorn banana republic dictator blush. Yet regarding any embarrassment evidenced by the leader of the free world… not so much. Despite the fact that our attorney general has been indicted for contempt of Congress on both felony and civil charges, has repeatedly lied under oath, and has routinely turned a blind eye to laws that he is duty-bound to enforce, Mr. Holder continues to serve at the behest of his presidential mentor. At least he has so far. Apparently not so very much of that promised transparency after all: www.forbes.com/sites/larrybell/2013/10/06/will-fast-and-furious-justice-finally-befall-eric-holder/ |

Ex-ATF official's gun ends up at Mexican cartel shootout that killed beauty queen
By William La Jeunesse

How did a gun belonging to a former assistant special agent in charge at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives end up at a crime scene in Mexico where five died, including a Mexican beauty queen?
That's the question being asked by congressional investigators and ATF officials in Phoenix.
A FN Five-Seven semi-automatic pistol, a high powered handgun originally
restricted to military and law enforcement customers, was recovered by Mexican police at the scene of a Nov. 23 shootout between the Sinaloa Cartel and the Mexican military.
Records show the gun was purchased in January 2010 by George Gillett, the former No. 2 in the ATF office in Phoenix. Gillett now works at ATF headquarters in Washington as a liaison to the federal Bureau of Prisons.
Gillett purchased the weapon at Legendary Arms, a Phoenix gun store. On the federal form 4473 used to buy the gun, Gillett used the ATF office address, 201 East Washington, and said "Apt 940." On subsequent purchase, Gillett used a commercial address, that of a strip mall.
Both actions are illegal, since ATF regulations require buyers use their residential address.
"Lying on form 4473 is a felony and can be punished by up to five years in prison in addition to fines," Sen. Charles Grassley said in a letter Wednesday to Michael Horowitz in the Office of Inspector General. "I request that you initiate an investigation into these matters and that you specifically examine whether Mr. Gillett was the purchaser as indicated by these documents, why the forms list multiple, inaccurate residential addresses while purchasing the weapons, and how the weapon purchased on January 7, 2010 ended up in Mexico."
Gillett's gun was found in Sinaloa after a gun battle that killed Mexican beauty queen Maria Susana Gamez. Gamez was reportedly fighting alongside the cartel. Police found a weapon similar to an AK-47 and some 50 bullets next to her body. Another weapon found at the crime scene was traced to a Uriel Patino, who illegally bought more than 600 guns and is a main suspect in the controversial Operation Fast and Furious run out of the Phoenix office of the ATF.

www.politico.com/story/2013/09/fast-and-furious-doj-documents-97604.htmlExderpt: A federal judge has rejected Attorney General Eric Holder’s attempt to keep the courts from wading into the “Fast and Furious” documents dispute that led to him being held in contempt by the House last year. In a ruling Monday night, U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson turned down the Justice Department’s request to dismiss a lawsuit brought by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee after President Barack Obama asserted executive privilege to prevent some records about the administration’s response to the “Operation Fast and Furious” gunrunning scandal from being turned over to Congress.

That comment is simple to explain. It was, as the kids say, an f-you, a not-subtle dig at Gohmert's reputation for exaggeration and confusion. It was an attempt to make Gohmert feel bad, to get under his skin. It was, in other words, punitive — not necessarily the sort of thing you want to see from America's main law enforcement official, particularly when he's being grilled by the committee that oversees his work.

Attorney General Eric Holder took a subtle jab at the right wing of the Supreme Court Wednesday for its decision to uphold a Michigan ban on using affirmative action in college admissions.
During a diversity event at the Justice Department, Holder chided those who see the nation’s first black president and attorney general as proof “that this country’s long struggle to overcome disparity and discrimination has ended.”
*****
Dear Justice Holder;
.....Your position as attorney general has been described above and your position has nothing to do with your color
unless you make it that way, which you most definitely have! My concerns have to do with your lieing, injustice, contempt, and ignoring the department your in charge of: NSA, IRS, Benghazi, Fast & Furious, and other administrators in your department that have failed to represent the people as you were assigned to do by the president ( I guess I know why ).
You 'two' have put this nation in the most critical position it's ever been in since it was formed! Because you refuse to honor the Constitution and Bill of Rights which the nation was formulated on. Your inability and refusal
to act responsibility has put this country in jepority!
"WE" as a Nation had confidence 'blacks' should have a chance but your bosses [Hope & Change] and lieing continuously
have jeopardized the people and this country possibly beyond repair.
Sincerely,
1 of your 'white' citizens

Deputy Assistant Attorney General Tom Dupree noted that statements from Holder and other administration officials had intimated that they were unhappy with the direction of the current investigation, and that Holder’s involvement would ensure it proceeded “the right way.” Why President Barack Obama’s premier stonemason, who’s walled up investigations for years into “Fast and Furious,” “Philadelphia’s Black Panthers,” “Solyndra’s $500 Million,” and “The IRS Scandal” suddenly has a burr under the saddle to personally take charge, is sure to provide rich fodder for his legion of critics. www.bizpacreview.com/2014/08/19/why-is-attorney-general-eric-holder-really-going-to-ferguson-139758Dear Justice Holder; .....Your position as attorney general as described in the constitution and your position has nothing to do with your color unless you make it that way, which you most definitely have!
