Eric Holder's Got Some 'Splainin to Do! | Eastern North Carolina Now

    The Congress of the United States has cited Eric Holder, the Attorney General of the United States, in CONTEMPT for lying and withholding information that would help uncover the truth in the Fast and Furious scandal. Eric Holder and Barrack Obama don't want the truth uncovered, so they are hiding behind Executive Privilege. However, they can't hide from the contempt of the citizens of the USA and Mexico. Oh yes, Mexico wants answers, too, and they want to extradite those responsible for Fast and Furious to Mexico for prosecution. Perhaps Eric Holder should go to Mexico to testify about F & F.

    Fast and Furious was started in 2009 by a group of federal employees under the guise of stopping drug dealers by arresting them for weapons violations. Their plan was to allow guns from the United States to be sold in Mexico, and then claim that guns from the USA were the reason for escalating violence in Mexico. The US taxpayers were paying for the guns that were transferred to the drug dealers through illegal gun sales. ATF (Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms) turned a blind eye to their own rules that allowed these illegal transactions to occur. On the rare occasion that a gun runner was captured, he was released and no charges were filed. The Mexican government was never informed that the guns and other weapons that were flooding their country were done with the full knowledge and cooperation of the US federal government.

    The Federal Government's explanation of the operation is faulty in extreme, because with all the thousands of guns that were allowed to enter Mexico no arrests were made, but there were at least 300 Mexicans and 2 American Federal agents killed with guns that were funded by US taxpayers. So now the chickens have come home to roost, and the American people want answers, and the Mexico people want answers. However, the arrogant twins, who consider themselves above the law, Eric Holder and Barrck Obama, refuse to provide answers to the families of the deceased in Mexico and the families of Jaime Zapata and Brian Terry. They think that we can't handle the truth, and perhaps they right. Perhaps we can't handle it.

    Brian Terry, Jaime Zapata, and the hundreds of killed and wounded in Mexico were sacrificed so that Eric Holder and Barrack Obama could rally support against the Second Amendment and strip it from the Constitution and outlaw guns in the USA just like in other countries. The framers of our Constitution were wise enough to foresee that some quasi-dictator would try to strip the citizens of the USA of their last line of defense against tyranny. Eric Holder follows his leader and says that it is all Bush's fault. There was an operation called "Wide Receiver" that operated from 2005 to 2007. The operation allowed guns into Mexico, but it was done with the cooperation of the Mexican government, and the guns were tracked and several arrests were made.

    Marisele Morales, Mexico's Attorney General, is waiting for an explanation from Eric Holder about Fast and Furious. She has never even received an apology for the destruction to her country.

    Nixon was forced to resign for a cover up that was child's play compared to Fast and Furious, but that was driven by the mainstream media. We can't count on media's help with Holder and Obama; it is up to the voters.
