why does it damage the GOPers? Do the great unwashed masses have much love for Eric Holder?
Because instead of trying to fix the economy the GOP House is playing a game of gotcha with the Justice Department.
all he has to do is turn over documents... that or be held in contempt.
or get fired by BO.
or "We the people" can fire BO
one way or the other Holder's time is about up.
He says the documents are part of an ongoing criminal investigation. If that's true then he should hold firm.
Okay Max. all kidding aside... I know you think this is a pretty weak excuse right?

RE: On a lighter note, Eric Holder is about to get Held in Contempt
I always love it when the government investigates itself.
We should stand by and wait for their results? Wonder if Vegas would take bets on the results? The outcome is preordained. Justice Dept. lawyers are really likely to implicate their boss and/or his boss in wrongdoing.

The Fortune report addresses this. Those guns were purchased by a F&F suspect, who the ATF wanted to arrest, but prosecutors wouldn't let them. They couldn't gather the evidence in time to seize the weapons or make the arrest, because the law was too weak and the prosecutor too unwilling.
It had no chance to work, and it didn't work. So why was it done?

He's already told us - weak gun laws. Max just can't complete the circle and fill in the blank because he lies just like his hero, Zero.

Hundreds of guns flow out of Arizona because anyone over 18 can buy and sell guns like flapjacks. The ATF couldn't stop them even if they wanted to. You cons bash the ATF for not seizing guns, meanwhile supporting weak gun laws which prevent them from seizing guns. Make up your damned mind.
Before Fast and Furious AZ was not in the Top 15 source states that NY tracks as source for illegal guns. After Fast and Furious it was in the Top 10 for NY. Interesting fact.

And the House votes Holder in Contempt. Those paper shredders are moving fast and furious.

RE: On a lighter note, Eric Holder is about to get Held in Contempt
So today we had SCOTUS hand down a huge ruling. POTUS gloats. Holder gets contempt slapped on him. Now the PSOTUS are hard at work. The TOTUS apparently has the day off.

He should resign in disgrace...If not he should be fired in disgrace. I hope the deaths of those he is responsible for haunt him in his sleep until he puts a gun in his mouth and pulls the trigger.

RE: On a lighter note, Eric Holder is about to get Held in Contempt
Considering that the weapons walked in Operation Fast & Furious included 5 .50 caliber Barrett Sniper Rifles (which have never been recovered) its seems logical to expect this operation to be ran from DC.
This wasn't the local ATF Office going Rogue.

Yes, great news that Holder's department armed Mexican drug cartels who have slaughtered tens of thousands of Mexicans.
Where did you get the "tens of thousands" number? If those numbers are correct, maybe it was part of our (anti-)immigration policy? If we kill them all, they won't sneak over the border to come here!

Idiot.
So all those Mexicans were killed by guns from F&F? Actually, it is more likely that most of them were killed because of the NRA.

You SUCK at reading comprehension.
You certainly do. It doesn't say all those people were killed because of F&F. Of course, it isn't surprising given given you got your degree from an online diploma mill.

Both were affirmative action hires also. Reno should be in jail.
