On February 7, 2012, we published a post entitled “John Boehner To Halt Fast And Furious Investigation, Sell Out To Holder And White House.” Congressman Darrell Issa’s office was quick to issue a denial of our story.
Letters to the editor on the post have also filled this editor’s inbox, including this note from Fritz Mehrtens:
Your article, “John Boehner To Halt Fast And Furious Investigation, Sell Out To Holder And White House” was denied by Congressman Issa’s office in conversation with a Tea Party member who I know to be trustworthy. I suggest you review the basis for this entire story and if it is incorrect or suspect replace the article with a correction. We cannot afford to have false reports bouncing around the internet.
Doug Book, author of the original post, is standing by his allegations, and he e-mailed us this response:
Thanks very much for sending this to me. I emailed Mr. Mehrtens and provided the info he requested. Numerous people have commented on various sites, stating they called Boehner’s office and were told the story is untrue. As I told Mr. Mehrtens, I TOO hope it’s untrue! But given Boehner’s history, we’ll have to wait and see.
It appears this story has made the rounds of the internet. It’s possible that Mike Vanderboegh is responsible for so much flack finding its way to John Boehner’s office; the Speaker might be forced to back off his betrayal!!!!! Now that would REALLY be an example of what we’re all “in business for!”
Also, the post has received mixed reaction in the blogosphere. This post on examiner.com by Dave Workman caught our attention this morning:
Allegations floating around the Internet that a “sell-out” on Operation Fast and Furious is being engineered were flatly denied Monday exclusively to this column by a spokesperson for the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
The allegation, which appears to have been repeated by at least two different internet blogs, is that House Speaker John Boehner has hampered the congressional Fast and Furious probe, and that some kind of deal has been cut to derail or at least slow down the investigation.
Becca Watkins, press secretary to the House Committee, chaired by Congressman Darrell Issa, told this column via e-mail: The Republican leadership has been supportive of the Operation Fast and Furious investigation since its inception. There is no truth to these rumors that the speaker or anyone in leadership is hampering Oversight or (Sen. Charles) Grassley’s investigation.
Only time will tell us if the Republicans will sell out America by failing to bring the culprits to justice in this sordid story. Investigations are well and good, but once the lights dim and the camera’s go away, then we will see if someone is in jail. Only when government officials are held accountable for illegal acts will they become a cautionary tale for others considering similar schemes in the future.

THIS IS A VERY SICK AND DEVIOUS OBAMA WORLD WE ARE LIVING IN, THE MUSLIM POS UST GO.
I wonder if all these denials from government officials is simply to quiet down the uproar that the article stirred up. I have discovered that the louder the authorities squeal, the more we should challenge their credibility.
I agree with you OMG. When you upset deviant plans, the one making those plans starts out with a denial. Funny Boehner didn’t have time to come out with a statement. And I think that the question that is burning in every good redblooded american’s mind should be asked at the white house press conference. I would like to see what kind of answer the professional liar/spin docter would give to the press. Than again, they don’t have enough spine to adress the fast and furious issue. I sure little Larry boy would stutter on that one.
Weepy wimpy John Boehner is a Liar and a despicable man, he should be impeach and run someone agains him on his state.
I have yet to hear Issa or Grassley promise any justice for Fast&Furious. Rather they both have only stated that their goal is “to see to it that this never happens again” (which means nothing will happen)
I think that your comment is very perceptive throughout.
Nevertheless I still write to anyone I can get an email to, including Darell Issa and Chuck Grassley, I let them know that Legal American citizens are fed up, and I encourage them to see to it that the responsible persons are prosecuted to the fullest extent of law….. My Congresswoman (a permitted gun toter) has assured Me that She sees the fast and furious debacle for what it is, and that is a device to usher in more gun control measures, I know that she IS a member of a couple of groups like N.A.G.R. and is pro gun, God and Family She said that she supports prosecution of ALL guilty parties from the top down, to the fullest extent of law. She also supports the call for holder’s resignation, but isn’t on the committee, that wrote the letter asking for his resignation………
Keep writing letters, regardless of whether you feel that it’s doing any good or not, try to pin them down, to give you a valid answer on their position, don’t accept the B.S. answers, keep bugging the crap out of them…. They will either give you their support with the correct answer, or they will show their hand and you will know who the RINO’s are, which you will need to campaign against……… we will never again be able to rest, we MUST remain ever vigilant to the evil, that WILL tear this country apart if we doze off again !
Here’s hoping many others follow your lead.
Lets look a little deeper into this Fast and Furious debacle. To my knowledge, no official Congressional Investigation has been undertaken, although requested, regarding ” ALL ” the facts surrounding Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry’s death which brought the initial focus on the Fast and Furious Operation. Last week on Glenn Beck’s GBTV Program a Retired Border Patrol Officer who is President of the Retired Border Patrol Agents Association was explaining in a professional, articulate fashion the details of several horrific photos associated with Mexican Drug Cartels, beheadings, body mutilations, etc, During the course of these explanations, he indicated that after Agent Terry was shot in the legs and lower extremities, and once the situation was communicated that Border Patrol Chopper(s) were summoned to evacuate Terry and that they could not land as the area in which the incident took place was one of those that had been designated as Environmental Havens on the U.S. side of the border that are off-limits to U.S. Border Patrol Operations , but are Cart Blanche to the Mexican Drug Cartels. There was a fair amount of media attention regarding these designated areas and signage six to nine months ago. The Agent went on to say that Agent Terry’s subsequent removal took some four and a half hours and unless I am dumb, deaf , and blind required horseback assistance. Now can one reasonably believe that this individual is blowing smoke on something like this. If indeed a fraction of his declaration is valid, there should be heads rolling from D.C. to Arizona right now. Based on the monumental deceit already displayed by Holder, the DOJ.F.B.I, ATF ,DOHS, this incident would fall in line with their prior evasive, deceitful conduct. Would appreciate it if any of you out there have heard similar rumblings. Again. this is despicable and I for one am going to be laying this on as many sitting Congressman and Senators and media operatives as I can to determine the truth!
Um, you forgot the State Department. Since the illegal smuggling of weapons to a foreign state falls under Hillarys’ perview, one would think she would be screaming for some heads to roll. Not a peep. I guess she is being a good little Obama foot soldier. All we hear from Holder is how it is being investigated. C’mon, how hard could it be to find out who authorized a screw up of this magnitude? Stall and stone wall seems to be the only orders coming out of DOJ. I am hoping that the foot dragging on behalf of the Republicans is a timing issue. Imagine having half of his administration impeached if he manages to get reelected.
Points taken on the replies to this comment, it’s nevertheless exceptionally informative and perceptive.
I only wish I had some effective action plan to deal with the horrifying problems it presents.
Boehner is a wimpy coward. Typical of those “establishment” Republican Rinos. That party has always been the foot stool of the demoncrat party. They remind me of a historical footnote: the Roman emperor Valerian while campaigning in the far east fought a pitched battle against the Persian king Shapur. Valerian’s troops were anihilated, and he was captured alive and brought to the Persian king in chains. Shapur didn’t want to execute him, but kept him for humiliation purposes. He used him as his “foot stool” when the great king mounted his horse. Where ever the Persian king moved his encampment he dragged the unfortunate Roman emperor around as a mock to his former majesty. Eventually in time Valerian died, but Shapur did not have the dignity to bury the Roman befitting his former station, but had his body stuffed in straw and hung up in the king’s throne room. This how I symbolize the “establishment” Republican Party in it’s relationship with the demoncrats and Obama.
Both parties are “sleeping” together. Otherwise we would have long ago had an investigation of Obama’s REAL Birth Certificate. I have had 2 Congressmen NOT respond when I have written (twice) and the other Congressman (Shelby- AL, who NEVER responds to any letters I send about anything) respond both times, telling me, in the first letter, I was being dupted by the internet lies, and the second telling me the document produced by the White House in April was real. We all know, now, it has been proven to be forged.
Both parties play on each other to keep the “peons” in the dark.
There is a lot of this kind of “playing” that goes on between them both, or this would have been immediately addressed and taken care of. They sweep it under the rug as quickly as possible because of all the uproar from the people and reprocussions of the results. Just imagine what it would be like if the truth came out about this situation. The people would be rioting in the streets to get rid of everyone in office. They work together to “CALM” the whole thing. Can you imagine the riots that would happen now if Obama’s truth were know? It will come out when it is long over, 30-50 yrears from now. When nothing can be done about it. We probably will be controlled by the government by that time and we would be arrested if we “peep” any word against the government of dictator.
All we ever hear from Issa is “will be looked into”. Alittle less “looking” and a little more action, please.
You won’t get action from Issa.
Not from one who, with pinkie extended, refused more than a year ago to subpoena Obama’s original birth certificate (still not disclosed) for fear of being considered (by whom?) “overreaching”.
My Opinion, I still believe why there is no action from some of the officials, they are afraid of Obama radical mofia from Illinois that would be sicked on them and their families immediately if they go against Obama just like Holder is covering for Obama, I bet he was the very one that authorized the fast and furious and Issa is afraid to get to that unless he hears it out of Holders mouth and that will never be.
Obama seems to have iron hold on everybody around him and even the IRS, FBI, CIO, and everybody concerned, How in the heck did America screw up so bad in ONE election, well we’re paying for it.
America can’t survive another 4 years if people are stupid enough to put him back in there. Get a load of Mr. Goodie Good doing all these things for the people at tax payers money all the sudden before election day in November then if he gets in there again LOOK OUT HE’LL GO RIGHT BACK TO HIS OWN RADICAL STRAGIES THAT WE HAVE HAD TO PUT UP WITH THE LAST 3 YEARS. WE’RE DONE!
I still am having a problem with that golf game plyaed by OJUDASS and Betray Boehner. You just don’t indulge your enemy by playing a game with him, unless it’s just like Jesse Ventura said in an interview. He said politics is a lot like professional wrestling. In wrestling when the lights and cameras are rolling you spit at , cuss, run down your opponent until the audience considers him scum of the earth. Then the cameras and lights turn off and everybody is at a party at someone’s house and everybody is buddies. Jesse said the same holds true with politicians. Once the lights and cameras go out everybody is buddy buddy and it’s out for dinner with your “enemy” at your favorite restaurant. I suppose that there are people who buy into wrestling and politics but there are some of us that see through the facade !
I have called Issa’s office twice and course just had to leave a message, but I spoke directly to Boehner;s twice and they assured me that is wasn’t true, I said “HE BETTER HOLD ANOTHER PRESS CONFERENCE THEN, BECAUSE THIS RUMOR IS FLOATING AND GROWING”!!!!!
I can imagine the House speakers E mail was flooded with angry responses to the allegation but just how did this come about? It is a result of the lack of trust the RINO element has in the congress and the fact that the Republicans fight like little girls when it comes to the libs because the majority of them cannot tell you what is in the party platform and like deemers flock to get a plush job in the elected government to seal their future and gain a luxuroius retirement….a private sector job cannot possibly compete with the benefits that the congress votes for itself, it is sloth vs work for a living.
More reason to put these elites on a term limit basis salary only…
Actually, little girls fight stronger.
I’m thinking of resigning from the RINO party. Maybe mass resignations citing the RINOs’ complicity with Obama and other sedition would send a message. The rank and file might thereby destroy the GOP, but it won’t be the fault of the rank and file.
I’m sick and tired of the RINO “leaders’” betrayal of members of the GOP, and ashamed of my affiliation with the “disloyal opposition” when the scope of their disloyalty includes the very people who elected them. Can any true Republican put up with such trash?
Desperate times require desperate measures. Mass GOP resignations on principle – and perhaps recalls of RINOs, where possible – might lay a foundation for a general strike to force impeachment of the White House mole and certain federal officers for misconduct or ineffective appointment.
Somehow it must be brought home to the American People that the pretender to the Office of President and many other putative officers of the federal government are making war on the People and the nation and committing war crimes in the most literal and meaningful sense in the process.
if they let holder and his black muscum boss ocommie off the hook for the murderers of hundreds of Mexicans and Americans then there is no more America as we know it and it is time to disband this dysfunctional communist govt the black trash has brought to Washington
People who are biased against blacks and point to Obama to confirm their prejudice are in for a rude shock when his original birth certificate and DNA prove that he had no Negro parent.
Hoo, ha! Who should feel sillier when the truth outs that Obama had no Negro parent, much less a black alien father who made it with a white American chick? Those who voted for him in whole or in part because they were duped into believing he was black? Or those who voted against him because they were fooled into thinking he was black?
eingriff , I hold no bias against blacks, obama just happens to be a black niga and I can tell you I know many many more white nigas than I do black, my hatred of this man is rooted in his disloyalty to our republic and the foundations this country were built on, my hatred is rooted in the fact that with nothing more than a golden tongue this man has deceived millions ,and the fact that, 99% of our fellow black and white Americans voted for him for skin color alone when if they opened their eyes they would see the govt chains of slavery that they have exchanged their ”cotton plantation” chains of slavery for, and that his form of slavery knows no color barrier one only need be ignorant enough to be led into the communist govt trap of entitlement to be bound by this master, it is not the black man I despise, but it is a black man that I despise, one whose history is hidden from all,but yet their for all to see, but they have to see him for his his actions and not his words…. I could go on an on an on as to why this man is the most un American person to ever hold the office he usurped but I think you get my point , you can call me a racist , it does not bother me what you think of me or who you think I am, it is who I know I am that matters to me, and I will say it again, if obama was a white niga I would despise him no more or no less than I despise him for being a black niga…………..to ME, the word niga exemplifies the content of a mans character not his skin color…and obama to me, is nothing more than a black communist niga
The credibility of Doug Book’s story is vastly enhanced by Issa’s denial of it.
Where there’s smoke there’s fire. You can bet this story, Boehner’s copout on Fast and Furious, has some basis in fact. Boehner is a weakling, a cry baby, when it comes to anything that might impact his and his republican elitists friends in the republican establishment their precious butts and seats in Congress. They have been from the beginning petrified of any racist backlash from the leftist media as if a charge of racism from that media has any real control over the nation and its voters which it doesn’t, not anymore. The race card on criminal activity of this sort is DOA. Boehner has compromised on everything to the point that now Holder and his accomplice, Obozo, can literally commit murder and may walk if the story turns out to be true when in fact they should be behind bars for life. If a republican administration did something like this you can bet that’s exactly what would happen and it would happen Fast and Furious. The rule of law is no longer applicable to the elites. The American Republic is no more. We are witnessing corruption on a scale unprecedented in all of American history.
My only quibble with what you say here, smoki, is that Holder is Obama’s accomplice, not the reverse.
“Fast and Furious” is the kind of KGB-style operation that has Obama written all over it.
I am willing to give Speaker Boehner and the rest the benefit of the doubt, and then wait to see what happens. It was a good thing that there was alot of talk going around the different sites, then made it’s rounds to those concerned, because now they know that America has their eye’s open like a bunch of Bird Dogs. I just hope that those concern will not try to pull a fast one, because Eric Holder needs to go to prison, if he is found guilty, not to forget the President, and everyone else involved. I just feel for the Brian Terry’s family, thet are the one’s that has no closure to what happen to him, if there is such a thing as closure. That family deserves to know who the perpitrators are, being it the mexican cartel or the government of the United States.
Boehner has long since exhausted any reasonable benefit of the doubt.
So has Issa.
So have the House RINOs generally.
holder will walk and continue to be protected by his boss and the republicans will fall in line. what are we expecting to happen? have you not already seen what the republicans are doing when it comes to this prez? obummer care good ex. why lift the debt ceiling when the dem won’t even put a budget in front of us as required by law? dingy harry continues to make statements like we will not take a vote on the proposed BO budget? why? bkz they are playing us and we fall for the deception. They do not want us to know how taxes will go up and exactly where the $$$ is going!! hence the funding of Obummer care which the republicans allowed to move forward….we gave them the house in 2010 and they gave us the shaft….of course they’re all exempt from BO hostile take over of OUR health care system, but, not theirs…Don’t expect anything out of the GOP establishment NOTHING but more of the same.
Holder was a problem since BEFORE he became AG.
Recently suspicion has grown that Holder was complicit in actually facilitating the Oklahoma City bombing as a Reichstag moment that could be milked by Bill Clinton and his ilk for its propaganda value.
What’s a few dead children for a chance to lay blame on the rhetoric of conservatives, libertarians, and disassociating resisters against federal tyranny? Holder (or Clinton) could have nipped the plot in the bud, but helped it run its course, just as in “Fast and Furious” and like schemes. That’s the suspicion, and there seem to be grounds for it sufficient to include in impeachment hearings to establish a pattern of brutal and savage anti-constitutional conduct.
This is two sellouts in a very short time. What is Boehner up to? Has he been given a brown paper bag by the White House? Or is he being threatened? He seems to have sold out on Fast & Furious and on the extension of payroll tax holiday. To quote Sarah Palin (talking of Barak Obama Winning the Future) WTF is he doing? Either we have a problem with lefty media pushing false stories (which, normally, wouldn’t surprise me), or we have Boehner who is a traitor to his party.
Isn’t it about time that the House vote for a new Speaker?
The whole Chicago machine is filth from top to bottom.
O B U M E R – - – THE ANOINTED ONE – - – is one of those from the Chicago machine.
ERIC – - – THE GREAT – - – HOLDER is another member of that chicago machine.
How many more do we need from that crime based Chicago Machine?
Before the 2010 election,Boehner talked a big game. His wimping out makes me wonder if someone got to him. In any case, when the chips were down, he showed his true color. YELLOW!!!
My friends you are seriously beating a dead horse. Please see this article, what more do these two people both Boehner and Issa have to do to get you to understand?
Congressman Issa explains to Holder he is no longer playing games with his obstruction and lies in Operation Fast and Furious. Here is the link please enjoy! http://dancingczars.wordpress.com/2012/02/14/congressman-issa-explains-to-holder-he-is-no-longer-playing-games-with-his-obstruction-and-lies-in-operation-fast-and-furious/
jcscuba Thank you very much for the link, I read all seven pages, I think the last two or three paragraphs would be of interest to Cowhand who posted near the top of this comment thread…….. My only concern is that The DOJ thinks this is a football game where You can simply run the clock out….. this is far from a dead horse, so keep beating it, Keep writing letters and making phone calls, regardless of whether you feel that it’s doing any good or not, at least they will know that the concern over this matter isn’t going to go away, the longer it takes, the madder we get.
Who knows for sure what is going on? There is really very limited transparency of this administration despite professed openness and lofty promises. That is precisely why there need to be investigations by the House of Representatives of several potentially serious problems, one with very basic constitutional concerns. There is the Fast and Furious scandal which has at least gotten attention from Representative Issa. There has been some stonewalling from the DOJ to be sure which adds weight to the need for investigation! The question of Obama’s elegibility to hold the office of POTUS is a greater issue. Thus far, no official government investigation has been started by the House, which seems to be very strange in the face of evidence that has been developed by non-government legal scholars, several trusted document specialists and a number of legal organizations. If this were a Republican “President” there would be all kinds of investigations by Democrats to find out the “truth”! Obama was never vetted by the DNC! So why has Speaker Boehner not stepped up and opened an investigation? He is certainly aware of the allegations and some of the evidence concerning a fraudulent Birth Certificate, questions concerning school documents, passports, a bogus social security number, associations with known domestic terrorists, and other issues to say nothing of destructive domestic and international policies. A Statesman would have put the security of the nation above his personal political career. On the other hand, a politician will often do what is politically expedient. Frequently that means “look the other way.” Why? Fear? Collusion? Orders from above? Rest assured that if Obama is guilty as suspected, he will be exposed and legally removed from office. Evil eventually destroys itself!
My take is that the Republican Party (the establishment) is precisely what Newt Gingrich has targeted and is willing to take on. They are dead scared if he were to win the Republican nomination. He has said outright, that He would take on the establishment, and change the crappers in Washington. I realize He has some flaws as a person, of which the Republican Party gets so religiuous about. But I bet millions of them have done the same thing he’s done or even worst. THEY FEAR HIM and thats why they would rather have a religious Santorum, or a Moderate Romney, who is no different to OVAMIT, but not NEWT, He WILL stop them, and the activist judges, the Zars, and fire BERNANKE because He has the expierience straight from The Man Reagan. If he loses we are all done. Boehner and none of those of the establishment will do nothing because they want to keep their Jobs, and retire with a hefty pension. People wake up there is not much time left on the clock
Maybe Newt and the other RINOs deserve one another.
Oh the tragedy of non spoken words kept behind the mouth of liars for fear of retribution and loss of security,that is rewarded by the citizens for whom they labor for,and accountable they must be lest they parish,and must fall back to the hills or shores from which they came,and they to will see the indignity that they have brought forth.
How wonderful it would be if among the numbers of the elected,that one would come forth and tell the truth,yes the truth that only real men will ever know,fast and furious were the actions of Holder and his band of criminals,yet not one has the guts to stand up and tell the truth.How unfortunate that in their world there actions are only reflections of their leadership,and how it rips my heart to use such words.
Leadership as defined in my dictionary: ” the position or function of a leader-Ability to lead:an act or instance of leading,guidance,direction:the leaders of a group.
I refuse to answer on the grounds that i might incrminate myself” only cowards stand behind that right-but little do they know,when you invoke that right,everyone,yes everyone knows your guilty,but more importantly your all a bunch of cowards with no back bone and no concious.The whole bunch who took the orders that ended up murdering somebodies brother,son,father and yet you deny that it was your leadership “Mr.holder “that put the weapons in the hands of the enemies who killed innocent blood.And my guess is that you had no problem doing what you did,because you knew obama would give you the ok to do what ever you want,because when it comes to Leadership neither you or he (obama) are worth a damn.
They have already screwed We the People with the NDAA and renewal of the Patriot Act.
Do we have any rights left?
I understand Obama wants our guns gone!
Yes, Obama wants our guns gone from us. This was the real meaning of his answer to how he stood on gun control: “People don’t have to worry about their guns.” They won’t have any to worry about what they don’t have. Every tyrant seeks to disarm the People. George Washington, in contrast, said that a free people should be armed.
And tyrants will contrive to commit Reichstag moments, in which their own citizens, those relying on their protection, and people in friendly states are killed, and property destroyed, indiscriminately, to make propaganda to justify a regime’s past and planned oppression by force and violence, or aggression against a peaceful neighboring state.
Such was the treachery of putting weapons in the hands of criminal warlords with the full expectation and INTENT that they be used in criminal activities to kill and wound innocents, and military and law enforcement personnel, and traced to the United States and used as support for the ratification of a small arms treaty to be used to eviscerate the Second Amendment. The greater the destruction and injury, the greater the propaganda value. Holder looks you straight in the eye and, lying through his teeth, says that this was not the purpose. Let him deny, too, that he facilitated the Oklahoma City bombing and let it run its fatal course so that William Jefferson Clinton could make a speech tarring his opponents as purveyors of violence, and insinuate that their opposition to him and his murdering thugs led to the bombing. Yes, with a little help from Holder and his minions in the “Justice” Department.
The notion that “Fast and Furious” and the web of similar crimes of which it was but a part were a law enforcement effort gone awry would be simply risible, but for the fact that they were so gravely, cynically, corrosively and seditiously evil. Have they then, Obama and Holder and their RINO apologists, no decency? Are they at long last utterly devoid of human decency? Is a wretched crap-out their memorial to Border Patrolman Brian Terry?
The People must place Obama and Holder under microscopes, like bugs, and examine them VERY carefully. Law must be returned to the federal government, and government miscreants removed and prosecuted, though it might require a general strike to force a crass and craven Congress to do it.
As far as I am concerned, there are only a handful of politicians that should retain their seats, like the tea party members voted in 2010 who have not caved. All the rest should go, including Boehner. I don’t think he is strong enough to stand up to what is happening. I said from the beginning Obama was out to destroy the USA. I believe he always felt we should be a socialist society. There are more people on the public dole than ever before because people are deciding it is far easier to just not work and have the government pay for everything and it keeps trickling down. The rich will just take their money and jobs and flee this country, if they were smart. We are even worse than Greece.
Well, again, just as I thought — This morning on FOX NEWS –Issa stated that they “Need to get to the bottom of this” to “SEE THAT IT DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN”—- which means WE WILL NOT DO ANYTHING WORTHWHILE about Fast&Furious. Quencher is right. There is NO PLAN to Punish anyone for the death of agent Terry nor for the death of hundreds of dead Mexican citizens (perhaps thousands). Politics seems to be the refuge on earth for criminal corruption and is exempt from justice. Disgusting!
Well, ISSA was on FOX NEWS (Megan Kelly) again just now and talks tough sounds but the words are still that there is NO PLAN to hold Holder or anyone else responsible for anything. “We can’t prove anything without the documents and Holder won’t give us the documents so there is nothing we can do”. If we hold Holder in contempt, Obama will not allow any prosecution. What a bunch of hopeless wimps! Pardon me while I go try to get my blood pressure down and resist the impulse to puke, violently! When I see Issa grin while he is talking about agent Terry, it really makes me absolutely ill. I mean really sick!
Exactly. None of Issa’s “investigations” have ever resulted in any action. Just a bunch a hot air that quickly decipitates as soon as no one is looking. It’s what we get for electing a car thief to public office.
Of course Boehner is a sellout. So is Issa. Has everyone forgotten Issa has once already tried to limit Holder’s guilt? Neither intended to see this investigation to fruition. Why is anyone even surprised? Boehner once passed out checks from a lobbyist on the House floor and Isaa is a convicted car thief and suspected arson. These people are crooks, every last one of them except for Ron Paul.
I think it is reasonable to conclude that there must be something more than Boehner just wanting to get along with the White House that brings this into play. Why did he make this request of Congressman Issa? That is the big question. Was he wheeling and dealing with Obama on the payroll tax holiday extension? Is this a part of what he had to give up? Or is there more to it?
For instance, as I remember things, Holder had people investigating CIA agents on their interrogation techniques. Could that have been a part of this? Threats to present some of the evidence? Has Holder threatened to take down Bush/Cheney? Rumsfeld? Or some other group of people from the last administration? Or has he taken to J. Edgar Hoover’s tricks of blackmaling congressmen and other power players in Washington? We know he has been trying to take down Arizona state government. What else is he up to?
What does he have on Boehner? Lets see… There are two old allegations of adultery against Boehner – one with Lisbeth Lyons and the other with Leigh LaMora. Is there another? Has his wife, Deborah, told him that with three strikes he’s out? I wonder. Did Holder’s minions discover something that makes Boehner unable to refuse?
Congressman Issa’s committee should start asking about Holder’s evidence against Boehner, and investigations he has ongoing against other Republican house and senate members. It can’t harm anything to try. Holder/Obama will come out with it all during this election year – probably starting with a September surprise or two. They’ll be trying to smear all Republicans anyway to gain an advantage in Congress. It is better to get the informaiton out early.
Well, that is probably going a little farther than I should at this point.
I’m hoping that OMG means Obama Must Go!!!!
