Fast & Furious amnesia hits Attorney General Eric Holder during House testimony:
This is the face of arrogance, conceit, egotism, contempt, self-importance and condescension all wrapped into one or what?
Attorney General Eric Holder frustrated his most fierce Capitol Hill accuser and other GOP lawmakers Thursday when asked about the Justice Department’s Fast and Furious weapons sting and which high-ranking Obama administration officials knew about the botched operation.
Fast and Furious was supposed to be a sting operation that was started in 2006 and partially overseen by the Obama administration until 2011 where our own government sold over 2,000 high-powered weapons to gun and drug traffickers in Mexico with the expectation that this action would lead USA officials to the high-level “kingpins”. I really can’t say if I ever heard of anything as idiotic and negligent as this.
Just like in so many other government sting operations, Fast and Furious back fired resulting in several deaths including USA agents.
I may be living under a rock but that is like getting into a fight with someone and giving them a baseball bat when you are unarmed and he beats the shit out of you.
Who, when and where did any numb skull government official/officials ever come up with a hair brain idea like this to supply drug and gun runners in Mexico with weapons. The next thing we are going to hear is that our government is going to be sending Poncho Via and his boys some Sherman tanks and 106 recoilless rifles to play with. Unbelievable.
Now that Congress wants answers concerning this fiasco the attorney general has a large case of amnesia.
There seems to be an epidemic of bad memories in DC. The following is a quote from Rahm Emanuel the former cabinet member of Obama that is now the Mayor of Chicago.
This is what he had to say about the Soylndra scandal where $ 500,000,000 that the USA government loaned the company, naturally with no strings attached, disappeared. “Ya know, I’m focusing on my campaign running for Mayor of Chicago “I don’t actually remember that or know about it. So, what I’m dealing with is what I’m dealing with here today.”
Is it unbelievable or not that even some of the highest jurisdictions in the country cannot get a straight answer out of these politicians.
I can’t even imagine what would happen to an ordinary citizen if they tried to pull the same game on the authorities? “ I can’t remember”.
There is a very effective cure for this type of illness; it is called the cross-bar hotel with 120 days of bread and water.
I guess the old saying “do what I say not what I do” is the creed the DC crew lives by.
