If you were a drug lord purportedly making millions a week from smuggling drugs into the US would you take a 1.5 million contract to assassinate a Saudi diplomat?
You would not think the Saudis would get you or the US would?
Would you do it for 100,000 down rest to follow on completion?
I had the same concerns and Judge Napalotino just alluded to the same thing regarding the timing of it coinciding with Holder's Fast and Furious problems. Napolotino also said its being handled as a criminal case; not act of war.
I find the connection to the Mexican Cartel significant and I hope it doesn't get swept under the table and instead sounds the alarm to tighten our borders.
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting on them to secure
the border, or, make any other significant changes.
It's my opinion that it's all a smoke screen to cover
Holder's retreat. He's been (Holder) a slime ball as
far back as the Waco cover up. Chicago politics, played by Obama & Holder.
I think this is to divert attention from the Fast and Furious meltdown. Is there a thread on Fast & "Furious ? The letter from Issa is a real eye opener and I think, shows Holder as a consumate liar...... As it says in the last lines of the letter, "whether you realize it or not, you own Fast & Furious". woohoo.
Yes, and an administration that would lie about one thing will lie about another.
Sen Menendez from NJ; "Holder will need to win back the public's confidence in the Justice Department."
Just for the record, Nj endorses Eric Holder through its re-election of Senator Menendez sponsored by the trial lawyers association.
"Thank for you contacting me to express your view on the nomination of Eric Holder for Attorney General in the new Administration. Your opinion is very important to me, and I appreciate the opportunity to respond to you on this vital issue.
It is encouraging to see such a gifted, experienced, and committed leader nominated to become the first African American Attorney General of the United States. I am particularly pleased to see a fellow civil rights advocate nominated to lead the Justice Department. Part of Mr. Holder's responsibilities in DOJ will be to restore the agency's focus on protecting our civil rights.
If confirmed as the next chief U.S. law enforcement officer, Holder will need to win back the public's confidence in the Justice Department. The agency has been tainted by the political agenda of the Bush Administration. U.S. Attorneys were fired if they did not make the political grade and civil rights violations were pursued half-heartedly. This must change in the Obama Administration. I expect the new Attorney General to correct these past problems and steer the agency back to a place of independence.
Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. I appreciate your support. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I may be of more assistance. I invite you to visit my website (http://menendez.senate.gov) to learn of other important issues to New Jersey."
It would seem that Menendez completely ignores everything AG-Holder has done to undermine the DOJ's credibility since he took office.
