Tonight at 7 pm, on Univision, with English subtitles, they dive further into the gun walking operation and expose just how big the program was and how far it reached. They will also focus on innocent Mexicans killed and possibly provide more answers, and even more questions.

A few weeks ago, Univision gave Barack Obama his first tough interview since becoming elected. They hit him hard on this program and asked if Holder was going to be fired.

Do note that Obama lied to Univision claiming Fast and Furious began under Bush which is not accurate.

Sadly, this brings us an even bigger reveal that some of us have been aware of. Univision, an media outlet not part of the big media outlets of the US, has single-handedly embarrassed our own press. They dont bow to the demands of a President and do not campaign for him. They seek truth and do not care who they expose.

I will say no. I am not confident of it because it depends on how Barack thinks it will work out for Barack. If he is confident that the United States media will continue as usual, meaning they will not cover this story, then no, he will probably not get rid of Holder.

If they do, uncharacteristically, cover this it is possible he will have Holder resign. Though even that can harm him, due to Obama taking place in this using Executive Privilege to keep some things hidden from the people. But with enough pressure from the press, he could still ask Holder to resign and some how spin it to his benefit election wise, though itll be a hard sell for those paying attention. Lucky for him, we have a lot foolish people who dont pay attention yet still participate in our voting process.

Wow it is amazing - graphic, dead tortured Mexicans. Brian Terry's funeral, AFT Agents interviewed. This is what journalism looks like!

Not exactly pleasant to watch but its reality. If you talk about as a bump in the road as some might, it doesnt hit as hard. But when you see the reality of it, its powerful. I think this will leave more people demanding answers, and wondering just what the hell Barack and Holder hid by invoking EP

One statement is not correct. None of the weapons had tracking devices. The ATF agents went to radio shack and bought a tracking device for one or two of the weapons because they started becoming worried about there being no tracking other than weapons showing up at crime scenes on both sides of the border. ATF itself, ordered the agents to just let the weapons go. This is what the agents testified to before the congressional committee.

I'd have to agree that at the very least Holder did. How wouldnhe possibly not? And lets say he didn't, he still deserves to be fired for being clueless.

The american press will sadly, completely ignore all of this. They are not journalists, they are as guilty as anyone involved in the actual commission of the crimes that were committed. They should be ashamed of their neglect.
