So can't blame Bush anymore.

I bet they'll start blaming Canada or Bigfoot next.

So that's why they did it! I has nothing to do with broken laws and questionable ethics! :/

Liberals have never been known for exceptional foresight.

The only important issue at hand, is why this poor Border Patrol Agent is DEAD. And why has it taken so long to get to the bottom of why he is dead.

If this were any other administration, this would not be happening, and ya all know it. I seriously doubt this is a witch hunt, as some of you call it, when a young man who was proud to serve his Country, is now dead, and for what.

Someone dropped the ball, in this case, and things happened which left to the death of this agent, you may not want to, i want to know why, for the soul of the agent! So he can rest in peace, and i am sure he is not, his spirit i am sure wants those responsible, to pay.
If this were your son, to those of you who post, you would not want the details to come out, well you sure think differently then i.

Those responsible, and it is looking clearly now, that there is guilt, and needs to be protected, so that we may never know the sordid details, into why this agent died.

I don't think it's a witch hunt. I was pointing out that the claim of witch hunt just doesn't have merit.

Do you ever pay attention to any of the links provided on this topic be it in this thread or the other half-dozen or more threads on Operation Fast & Furious? There is plenty of proof posted here on CD that AG-Holder has withheld non-classified information and made false statements before Congress (while under oath) during the course of the hearings over the past year and a half.

Since this type of thing is the last thing the American people want to see going on in DC, I doubt it will work out like the GOP hopes.

The way I see it holder testified Obama did not know about ff

Executive privilege is extended to the president to keep national security discussions with staff or friends from being reported. The president should be afforded this right.

So the problem comes is holder testified the president did not know,

If the president did not know then no discussions about ff need executive privilege

If the president did know , then holder committed perjury.

There is a family who has lost a loved one and there are no answers as to who ordered ff.

There is something rotten in the wood pile
