Dynamo CBS Reporter Sharyl Attkisson, who broke the Fast and Furious Scandal in the MSM February 23, 2011, and who was literally screamed at over the phone by DOJ spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler and White House spokesman Eric Schultz for doing so, has continued to hit hard on the government’s so-called ‘botched’ gun-walking program. On March 3, 2011 Attkisson interviewed ATF whistleblower John Dodson, and she later released secretly recorded audio from mid-March 2011, where an ATF agent and a gun store owner discuss the developing Fast and Furious scandal. The audio was secretly recorded by Lone Wolf Trading Company owner Andre Howard, who presumably tries to get the ATF agent Hope MacAllister to admit that ATF told U.S. gun dealers to sell weapons to known Mexican drug cartel straw buyers. Howard gets MacAllister to not only admit this, but along the way, McAllister also acknowledges that there is a concerted effort by DOJ, U.S. Attorney’s office, and ATF to keep the scandal out of Congressional hands. These interviews and secret audio recordings are no secret, yet the MSM has dutifully kept it out of the news, and they are provided as a context to Obama Files’ continuing ‘Tales from Fast and Furious’ video series.

The house is doing their job, and then Boeiner gives Holder a free pass. What is this?
My thinking is that Boehner had cut a deal with the Dems on something, and he’s turning the other cheek and will not bring up this contempt charge up for a vote on the House floor.
Paper trails and tape trails. A great combination when it comes to this type of criminal activity.
This morning, on FOX News, again Darrel Issa spent almost 10 minutes evading any answer to the question: “When will you act to cite Eric Holder for Contempt of Congress?” To me this is not surprising since Darrel Issa and Chas Grassley have both stated repeatedly that : “We need to get to the bottom of this so we can do something to keep this from happening again.”
A comment like this is just code for “We won’t do anything to anybody for their part in Fast & Furious.” I have to believe that both are terrified that Holder will act to hurt them in some way. Both know full well how fed up and frustrated and angry the American people are — And they still drag their feet and protect the criminals that created and executed Fast & Furious. Sickens me as it sickens all patriotic Americans.
Isn’t it funny that during the President’s trip to South America and the same of the Secret Service, they were able to determine in a few days that none of the call girls were spies but it has been well over a year, and they can’t tell us who is responsible for Fast and Furious. If the Pres and Eric never knew about any of this, then what are they trying to hide. We will probably never find out that they were involved in this up to their eyeballs but the more intelligent Americans will know.
There seems to be only one source for the true story of Fast&Furious and that is Katie Pavlich. She has a handle on the truth and I think she will get a full story before she is done! I think that there are major international factors that have not yet come to light. Can one imagine what the US government would say and do if Canada or Mexico started shipping massive arms to rebellious groups inside the USA? Would seem that Mexico would be demanding reparations and apologies and even threatening the US for what our government has done to Mexico— But Mexico is still silent. There must be a reason, don’t you think?!
The drug cartels tell Mexican officials to SHUT UP, John Boehner tells Issa to SHUT UP!
It seems to me the senate and congress would rather waste tax payer dollars investigating whether a baseball player uses steroids, something they have no business involved in. They have a baseball commission for that. I have been following Fast & Furious and the Obama Administration is guilty of several crimes. Now if we can get this corrupt congress and senate to really put their foot and the head of the snake remains to be seen. Holder is guilty of Obstruction of justice at this point and should be removed from office. I an really, upset about this but it is par for the course when you have a bunch of criminals in government. The American people have to vote in a big way to remove the poison from congress and the senate. If not we are doomed.
I agree 100%.
How can that SOB POS Holder still be running free??? There is something MAJORLY WRONG here that we don’t know about. Whether Blowbama has his ‘death squads’ out to curtail any mention of this DEBACLE or if those spineless panty wastes in Congress are in fear of their jobs…there is a CRIMINAL element here that Jokebama is hiding and that the liberal-biased, heads-up-Blowbama’s-ass media is not reporting on or is purposefully quashing. America needs to know what this FELON administration is trying to suppress and exactly who, besides the Vacationer-in-Chief and Earache Holder is involved, before the trash that is running this country (into the ground) is somehow re-elected. God help us all…
