evidence as to his guilt in the masterminding and the execution of the ill intended fiasco of a scheme
called Operation Fast and Furious.
Using Obama tactics, (Chicago Politics) on using and positioning crises to the 'leader's' benefit, Mr. Holder
"coincidentally" ( never more coincidences in one's lifetime than this administration's) chose today to reveal
the Iranian's plot to assassinate The American Ambassador to Saudi Arabia. This was not NEW(s). It was
an attempt that took place a few weeks ago, and if it had been a success, would have been a declaration of War
between the U.S. and Iran.
The Saudi's will do anything for the U.S. (almost, and yes, probably that too) under the Obama Administration.
It wouldn't be a shock to know this "plot" was a staged attempt to produce a big news story to keep in the back
pockets of the Criminal Cohorts for future subpoenas, indictments, investigations, and eventually PROSECUTION.
As Issa finally said to Holder "YOU OWN FAST AND FURIOUS", the wheels for Iranian ire were turning. For over a year
Darrell Issa was very meticulous and selective with his words so as not to show pre-conviction notions. When those
words come from Issa --- One can be sure there issa gonna be some a heads rolling, and they start from the top and go down
hill from there.
You can put off the inevitable, for a minute or two, but the longer you do, but you're going down Holder, and no more standing
in the way of Justice. Border Patrol Brian A. Terry will be given his due, and to that American hero the People remain true.

Congressional Investigators to Subpoena Holder in Fast and Furious Probe
Published October 11, 2011
| FoxNews.com
EXCLUSIVE: Congressional investigators probing the failed anti-gunrunning operation Fast and Furious are sending a new subpoena to Attorney General Eric Holder -- seeking communications from about a dozen top Justice Department officials, including Holder; his chief of staff, Gary Grindler; and the head of the department's criminal division, Lanny Breuer, Fox News has learned.
The subpoena, which could be filed as early as Tuesday, will focus on the Justice Department. The first and only subpoena issued so far dealt with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. That subpoena was issued back in March.

After scathing letter from Attorney General Eric Holder to the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, he responds in kind with a volley back to the Justice Department calling the response a new low.
In the new subpoena, congressional investigators will apparently demand information regarding the investigation into the death of U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry. Two guns found at Terry's crime scene were linked to the failed operation that allowed more than 2,000 weapons to "walk."
The subpoena is expected to ask for correspondence that Justice Department officials had with the White House about the gun trafficking operation, as well as what information was shared by Justice officials in Mexico.
Asked about the development Tuesday, Holder said his department "will undoubtedly comply with them," noting that Justice officials have already sent "thousands of pages of documents up to the Hill."
Holder addressed the matter at the end of a press conference about an alleged Iran-tied terror plot foiled by U.S. investigators. "What I want the American people to understand is that in complying with those subpoenas and dealing with that inquiry, that will not detract us from the important business that we have here to do at the Justice Department, including matters like the one that we have announced today," Holder said.
The new subpoena follows a week of back and forth between congressional investigators and Justice Department officials of "who knew what, when." Under scrutiny was Holder's testimony from May 3 when he told Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., that he "probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks."
Fox News obtained documents addressed to Holder as early as nine months before that, which described the concept of Operation Fast and Furious.
On Friday, Holder sent a letter to congressional investigators stating that he does not read every document addressed to him and that they are reviewed by members of his staff. Holder went on to say that none of the reports mentioned the controversial tactics used in Fast and Furious.
On Monday, Issa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, which is investigating the scandal, replied to Holder in a letter saying, "Operation Fast and Furious was the department's most significant gun trafficking case. Whether you realize yet or not, you own Fast and Furious. It is your responsibility.”
Issa told "Fox News Sunday" that he was going to issue the subpoena to find out why the top Justice officials are "denying knowing about something that they were briefed on?"
"We want to know what and when they knew it," he said. "But more importantly, we have to understand -- at what level of the authorization really come? It wasn't an ATF operation. They were part of that. It was a joint operation in which DEA knew more than ATF."
In addition to the congressional investigation being led by Issa and Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith, R-Texas, is calling for a special counsel to look into the matter.
