Arizona Republican Gov. Jan Brewer told The Daily Caller that Attorney General Eric Holder bears responsibility for Operation Fast and Furious, and that he needs to be “held accountable” for it.
“Well, I certainly think that somebody needs to be held accountable, and obviously, with this Fast and Furious, the buck stops with him,” Brewer told TheDC in a phone interview. “And, I would be interested to get more information and testimony from him — that’s going to take place shortly. However, someone needs to held accountable.”
Brewer wouldn’t specify what exactly “held accountable” means, but she did describe what happened in Fast and Furious as “pretty substantial in regards to not supporting American values, American laws and American policy.” At least 34 members of Congress have called for Holder to resign immediately over the scandal.
Brewer is touring to promote her new book, “Scorpions With Breakfast.” She told TheDC the book tells “our story about what is happening in Arizona and how it is affecting America.”
“The crisis is here, and we’d better wake up,” Brewer said. “This is a wake up call, in regards to an arrogant, out-of-control federal government that isn’t enforcing the rule of law.”

Fast and Furious gate stops a the desk of little barry—-he, large pat down sis and holder need to be kicked out and in jail. Then move on with solar gate and on and on—-
Right on bob, he claimed he was working "under the radar" for gun control, and Fast & Furious WAS about gun control in the US!! So Obozo, our Liar in Chief should go down with his Dept. of (in)Justice head!! Both are guilty, both knew it back in 2010!!!
This entire Adminstration should be removed from OFFICE they are committing crimes that if any one of us had committed one of these offences we would never see the light of day for 20 years or more. Obamanation is thumbing his nose at us our Constitution and our basic laws, these crimes that this Adminstration has committed is Murder of several of our Border Patrol and who knows how many people in Mexico and all of our Federal Immigration Laws tearing down our American way of life. Our main problem is that the RepubliRATS will not say a thing about anything this adminstration is doing.
Obama and Holder both need to be prosecuted and jailed for a term of five times the maximum allowed for the sale of weapons to drug dealers and people who can not legally purchase a fire arm.Who cares when they knew!! they knew and failed to stop it. That in my book proves guilt PERIOD.
Fire Holder and send him to Mexico permanently and he can leave his US citizenship at the airport gate. You all know that Holder is a closet Muslim just like BO. Can you say connect the dots? Lock and Load
so true, so true!
I am with you 100%, but do not forget, we have to conficate all the money that they have, because is ouer money , THE PEOPLE MONEY, and do not foget his friends , all of then to jail and take ouer money back.still
agree with you completly.
While prosecuting Obama and Holder add the following Pelosi,Hillary,and all the anti gun nuts and all the Congressmen and women who are in favor of abolishing the second amendmant.These people are a Threat to the freedom of all Americans.
Held accountable is not enough! Held for prosecution is more like it. He, his superiors, and anyone else involved needs to be prosecuted and interred for this scandle, killing, and illegal distribution of weapons.
Go Jan!
ERIC HOLDER – " FAST & FURIOUS GATE " SHOULD BE ARREST AND PRISON FOR CRIMES AND MURDERS !
along with obuma.
I firmly believe that this started at the very top, obummer. His assigment is to destroy the USA. He cannot accomplish this as long as the public is armed (the intent of the 2nd amendment). He was / is trying to justify the confiscation of all the peoples weapons, after that he is king. We cannot allow this to happen. I do not understand why the wimpy republicans are not putting a stop to this.
their probably being threatened. we need someone that will stand up to obuma and his cronies. got to vote the a– out in 2012. Newt, and Santoruim for vice would be nice.
Dan: I firmly believe that these Republicans are in on this Communist conspiracy to take over this country. If you go to http://www.commieblaster.com you can read the names of many of them. They do not intend to do anything that will stop this. But they MUST DISARM us in order to complete the take over.
James you are right about that, they are linked to the socialist and communist here in America and they are furthering the upstart of the muslim ( does not get capitalization from me ) brotherhood to spread islam.
Eric Holder should be fired and imprisoned for treason and other charges today.
Holder, hussein, Pelosi are arrogant out of control Narcissists. All have broken the law, all belong in prison!!
I lost respect for Jan Brewer after she vetoed the (intentionally flawed) bill that would have kept Obozo off the Arizona ballot in 2012. Where are all the constitutionalists among the 50 Governors? Why have none of them managed to enact laws preventing a fraud from being on their election ballots? They must love the dear boy, since they are making his continued usurpation possible.
The atrocities that this administration have committed are criminal. What is even more criminal is that our congressmen/women are doing nothing about it. How they can sleep at night is beyond me! Issa seems to be the only one so far to call a spade a spade and demand action. Wake up America, they are selling us down the pike.
Amazedamerica : The Communist takeover of America is underway. They are ALL a part of this conspiracy. Everyone should have known when this so-called president called to "spread the wealth" THIS IS COMMUNISM….
That's why it is IMPERATIVE that we focus not only on the presidential election of 2012, but also the senatorial and congressional seats that are up…WE NEED A CONSERVATIVE, VETO-PROOF SENATE AND HOUSE!!!
"WE NEED A CONSERVATIVE, VETO-PROOF SENATE AND HOUSE"
Yeah, good luck with that. If Republicans win EVERY open Senate seat in 2012, they still won't have the 60 votes needed to prevent the sort of filibuster that they have used so well as a minority.
And of course the Republicans will need to sort out their circus long enough to prevent their own candidate from being the primary reason that Obama is re-elected.
This whole regime is like Herpes, no matter what you do to get rid of them and their misdeeds, nothing cures the problem!
We are holding him and others accountable on Veterans Day. I hope all of America no matter you political party, race, religion, ect… If you are an American citizen and believe in the Constitution of this country then let's stand together and tell them enough! The Veterans Day Event on 11.11.11, 0600 at the Washington Monument, is a March in support of the Veterans Declaration to Restore the Constitutional Republic. Members of Congress will have seen the Declaration before November 11, 2011. The March is to come together in support of the demands made in the Declaration; calling for the resignation or impeachment of Obama, Biden, Clinton, Janet Napolitano, Eric Holder, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and others in congress. , Hope you will support this effort. Go to veterandefenders.org or patriotsunion.org for more information.
vererandefender : If it were at all possible I WOULD BE THERE. However age and health prevents it at the moment. I did donate!
Jan Brewer seems to be getting the drift and awakening to the danger posed by these socialists who have misrepresented themselves into power. Daily the arrogant ones add to the degradation and weakening of America. I pray to God to remove this scourge, enlighten our people and make us whole again.
I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm certainly going to buy several copies of Gov Brewer's new book ! She has a very tough job to do. Almost single handed, she's been fighting to save her State from a preemptive foreign invasion and at the same time battling against a Treasonous federal Government who is aiding and abetting those invading criminals. After reading her book, I'll get a better idea how I personally can help her defeat America's deadly foes. If we intend to save America from falling prey to our enemies within, now is the time to do it.
Right-On Seamus Gov Jan Brewer All 100 Lbs Went To Wash DC And Finally Got A Few Minutes With "King Obama" The Leader Coy-otes With Eric Holder Said He Would Look Into SB 1070, Which As Usual Lies, Lies And More Lies, "No Show" And "No Word" Until King Obama Coyotes Reveal A Lawsuit From The United Nations NATO Will Solve Border Wars, Yikeess, Give The Tax Payers A Break, "King Obama/Coyotes Holder". God Bless America And Jan Brewer And No-Border Arizona.
RESIGN HELL! ~ Eric Holder committed a criminal act in an attempt to pull off a FRAUD in order to promote tighter gun restrictions on the American public, resulting in the deaths of two U.S. Agents and multiple Mexicans!!! ~ Furthermore he OBSTRUCTED JUSTICE in his dereliction of duty to prosecute Black Panther thugs intimidating voters! ~ Holder is NOT above the law and needs to BE PROSECUTED and sent to prison for his crimes! ~ Furthermore Eric Holder is NOT a legitimate U.S. Attorney General simply because he was appointed by an ineligible fraud who usurped the U.S. Presidency! ~ We The People demand JUSTICE be brought upon all colluding, treasonous traitors within our U.S. Government at large!
When the American people and their elected representatives failed to remove Barack Obama from the office of President of the United States, because he is not and never has been a citizen of the United States, and in any case is not a natural born citizen of the United States, and is not and never can be qualified to hold the office of President, they lost all power over the federal government and its appointees. They didn't remove Obama, so they CANNOT remove Holder. It's that simple. There is now no legal process by which American can regain power over their own government. The only method left is revolution, a fight over who shall be master in this land, of the same nature and by the same values that carried the first American Revolution to its victory. That revolution will not be legal when it begins. It can BECOME legal only after it has been successful, and the Americans are once again able to declare what the laws will be in America.
heads should roll and politicians should be in jail
Mrs Brewer is right as can be. Mr. Holder knew of this deal from the start. As head of DOJ that did the deal. Until he is put out of his office the better DOJ will be.
Ron Paul challenge:
How about all conservatives get together for a month or so, answer the all the pollsters that Ron Paul is their favorite, and see if the media-Scribes can find any dirt on him. I am guessing that they cannot.
Otherwise, it's back to another flavor of the week.
Yeah, good luck getting your fellow "Christians" to vote for a guy who opposes the death penalty and the Patriot Act, supports gay marriage and legalization of drugs and prostitution, and voted for the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
Hay ACLU Atheist Teachers-Ass James McPhewww Strikes Again It Is Very Hard to Catch A Coyote However Like All Liberal Goons They Stick Close To George Sore-Ass Worlds Preeminent Malignant Messianic Narcissit Media Empire Obama/Holder In The Zuccotti Zoo, Yikeess, God Bless America And The Tea Party Patriots, ABO.
Didn't Jan Brewer veto the bill to have every candidate prove his/her citizenship? What was her reason?
It's no wonder that Obama is defending Holder. He has such a hatred for Arizona that he will do anything to stop them from closing the Mexican border. For example, Senator Pearce from Arizona has been forced into a recall election because he is the author of Arizona State Senate Bill 1070, the toughest anti-illegal immigration bill in the country. Within days of being signed into law by Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, Barack Hussein Obama launched a propaganda campaign against SB 1070, and he directed the U. S. Justice Department to a file a lawsuit against SB 1070 in federal court…..
……He directed Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to go before the United Nations to apologize to the world for Arizona's "sin” of passing SB 1070. Pearce's actions has enraged open borders advocates, radical Hispanic groups, and far-left activists from coast to coast-and, according to the radical left, for the crime of introducing SB 1070, Senator Pearce had to be punished. The recall effort is led by a labor union organizer and Democratic Party activists, and is supported by far left, pro-illegal immigration, organizations, with names like "Voice of the Revolution”, Festival de Resistencia”, and "Free Alto Arizona”. We will know on November 8, if the recall is successful.
Actually they all need to be brought up on treason charges and executed for their acts and damage to America
You can bet that Holder was not the only one responsible for this. Obama & others were well aware of what this was all about.
Lets see how many lies Holder tells today. Will he be held accountable for it? Holder and Obama have lied continually about Fast and Furious and hundreds of people have died. But I guess it must be OK because they are just Mexicans? None of the Liberal Socialist Democrats have objected to anything except for the need for more gun control laws. If only the ATF and AG office would have obeyed our laws none of this would have happened. People would not have died with guns smuggled by our gevernment. We must continue to demand that Congress hold Holder and Obama to account for this criminal conspiracy. Vote them out. Hold Congress to account for not pushing this harder. Keep the pressure up.
Wake-Up America When You Come Upon A Den Of "Coyotes" Running Loose In The White House, Beware Jan Brewer Because "King Obama" And "Top Coyote Eric Holder" Will Never Be Taken Down Without Blaming Jane Brewer And SB 1077 And Arizona As Imposter "King Obama" Brings NATO Into The Mix Of Rope-A-Dope Blame, Yikeess, Now As Top Coyote Eric Holder Takes The Stand, He Refuses To Be Sworn-In,!! What, Why?? Just Incase They Find His Story Of Fast And Furious Is All LIES, Yes "COY"-Showing Reluctance To Make A Definite Commitment, Put It Together Liberal COY-OTES King Obama Style Do Not PURGE YOURSELF ERIC. God Bless America And The Tea Party Patriots.
