Ancient history?

Look around February 2007.
That's not so ancient.

Senate Panel Approves Subpoenas for 3 Top Bush Aides
Escalating a potential legal showdown with President Bush, a Senate committee yesterday approved three subpoenas to top administration officials, including White House adviser Karl Rove, demanding sworn testimony about what they knew of plans to fire eight U.S. attorneys.

Bush Lawyer Directs Rove Not to Talk to Congress - The Daily Beast
From Newsweek January 2009
Just four days before he left office, President Bush instructed former White House aide Karl Rove to refuse to cooperate with future congressional inquiries into alleged misconduct during his administration.

Corruption on either side is wrong. When ever possible, does need to be exposed for exactly what it is. I am thinking of the family of Brian Terry, and how awful they must be feeling. What a terrible feeling, to never find justice for the death of their son.

Clearly something is being brushed under the rug.

People lost their lives in Fast and Furious And you're going to compare that to them firing lawyers?!

And I barely paid attention to the news back then, and even I remember hearing about that all over the place. Yet with this case, you barely hear about it, and if you do now, the media doesnt tell the whole story or even the truth. They basically cover up for the Obama Admin, as you are.


Its off topic anyways. We arent talking about Bush. Not to mention, we know how the media covered that one. The complete opposite of how they have covered this one.

Pelosi, who screwed up Brian Terry's name like Jay Carney did, said she wants the truth and yada yada. Yet, they are so against Holder turning over everything he has. Why?

The question has to be asked as to why they are letting it get this far to keep from handing over what they have? The only answer is the truth. They dont want the truth of something out there. At the expense of the Terry family and the families of the Mexicans killed, they will go to no end to cover something up.

And all the liberals here can do is start bashing the GOP or talking about Bush firing lawyers.

I swear right wingers make themselves look so foolish in their attempts to make the President seem worse than he already is.

Stop exaggerating and gain some credibility.
Actually the House will probably appoint independent counsel to do the investigation...

Default Case against Holder without substance

Right-wingers continue to embarrass themselves with these ridiculous attempts to discredit the President and his staff, obstruct his brilliant, well-researched, bi-partisan, ingenious plans, and disrupt. Just a total waste. Holder stands firm and as a result, the President continues to hold the superior position and stand victorious.

Case against Holder was DOA. Next...
