Congressman: Obama admin may be accessory to murder with ‘Fast and Furious’
Republican Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona told The Daily Caller on Wednesday that Obama administration officials responsible for Operation Fast and Furious might be accessories to murder.
“We’re talking about consequences of criminal activity, where we actually allowed guns to walk into the hands of criminals, where our livelihoods are at risk,” Gosar said in a phone interview. “When you facilitate that and a murder or a felony occurs, you’re called an accessory. That means that there’s criminal activity.”
Gosar said the government should be held to the same standard as everyone else. Fast and Furious weapons were used to kill U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry, as well as scores of Mexican citizens, and he thinks administration officials should be held accountable.
“We impugn the private sector, we impugn main street America, and the bureaucracy cannot be held to any different standard whatsoever,” Gosar told TheDC, insisting that Justice Department and ATF officials “intentionally — intentionally — violated the law.”
Gosar said the administration was “showing an intentional, wanton disregard for the law,” and that “there’s got to be consequences for that.”
“Leadership has a price,” he added.
Gosar said he’s confident the Congressional investigation into Operation Fast and Furious will eventually include either the State Department, the Department of Homeland Security, or both.
“I’ve said all along, you’re dealing with a foreign country, you’re talking about an international border — that’s the Secretary of State and of Homeland Security,” Gosar said. “If you weren’t briefing them, it’s even worse that we had vigilantes from DOJ going unchecked and we did not tell our folks in Mexico about this.”
“This should have been a Cabinet [issue], and I keep saying it all along,” Gosar continued. “He [Holder] points to Homeland Security Secretary [Janet] Napolitano in this and I would have no doubts — I’m a common sense person — that this should have also involved the secretary of state, which means everybody knew — and we’re starting to see that in the document dump from the White House.”
As new documents showing how many more senior political officials in the Obama administration were aware of Fast and Furious continue to surface, Gosar said it’s becoming clearer that senior officials in the Obama administration are responsible for the program. The latest documents to surface indicate that Attorney General Eric Holder was briefed on Operation Fast and Furious at least two times in 2010, despite Holder’s May 3 testimony that he had only learned of the gun walking operation a few weeks before his Congressional appearance.
Like House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Lamar Smith and Rep. Jason Chaffetz, Gosar thinks that May 3 testimony was “misleading.”
Chaffetz told the TheDC on Tuesday that he thinks Holder was “less than candid.” Smith has called for an investigation into the truthfulness of Holder’s comments, and Issa has publicly questioned the attorney general’s veracity as well.
“I certainly believe that he either misrepresented the facts or he’s sufficiently incompetent that he didn’t know what was in his weekly briefings,” Issa told CNN’s Anderson Cooper Tuesday evening.
At this time, it’s unclear what Holder’s future will be. When TheDC asked Republican Study Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan if he thinks Holder should resign over these allegations, Jordan replied that he’s not sure at this point, but he expects Issa and Smith to bring Holder in front of their committees to answer the questions under oath again.
“I spoke with Darrell [Issa] briefly this morning,” Jordan told TheDC at a Wednesday breakfast for reporters. “I think that they’re looking to get the attorney general to come in and testify.”
“My guess is it might be a joint hearing of both Judiciary and Oversight with the attorney general,” Jordan added. “So we’ll see. And I think what’s appropriate is let’s get him under oath in front of the respective committees and then see how that process plays out.”
Gosar said that while it’s troubling that the attorney general may have misled or lied to Congress, it’s important not to lose sight of the real issue here: The Obama administration allowed guns to walk to Mexico in Operation Fast and Furious, which he says is more “egregious” than the possibility that Holder lied to Congress.
“You had gun dealers who said, ‘Listen, I don’t feel comfortable selling these guns,’ and the ATF said, ‘Sell the guns,’” Gosar said. “Then, when you had special agents trying to do surveillance, they [the ATF] told them to stand down. They were intentionally doing this, they’re showing an intentional, wanton disregard for the law, and there’s got to be consequences for that.”

The groundswell of the Tea Party IS the beginning of an unstoppable rebellion, and the technology of the internet is fast becoming a bigger voice than the Marxist State criminals who want our freedoms swept away as in Europe. The secret of the Tea Party: no leader to vilify, arrest or kill. The Tea Party is millions growing in every neighborhood.
And, in America, we have uncountable millions of hunters, marksmen, ranchers, bikers, cowboys, farmers, 4H, hillbillies, sharpshooters, gun collectors, men, women and young adults. With one Stalinist law, our government socialist despots want to turn ALL these fine people into criminals. That will be the American Rebellion. The good news: we also have Drudge, Lucianne.com, Breitbart, PJTV, more new bestselling books by both libertarians and converted socialists writing about the light of individualism, voluntarism, free markets, entrepreneurial American genius, that with more revealing intelligence, WILL overcome these century old killers and their cleverly disguised propagandists like Oprah, Letterman, Whoopi, Sawyer, Brokaw that keep “hoaxing” their vast audiences. MSM, Obamao, Congress all in it together, conspiratorially overlook Fast and Furious, because all these Marxist criminals want individual gun ownership STOPPED.
Plot is thickening: Project Gunrunner (aka Fast & Furious) has all indications that 0bama was behind this project resulting in numerous deaths of innocent people, including a U.S. border patrol agent. Eric Holder was 0bama's henchman in this project. Eric forced the BATF to allow illegal gun sales. BATF in turn then FORCED law abiding American gun dealers to follow through with the sales, even though the gun dealers refused to break any laws.
But through coercion and lies by direct orders down the chain of command, the gun dealers had no choice but to make the sales.
Remember, this scheme by 0bama and Holder was to make an excuse for more gun control laws against law abiding America Citizens and the Second Amendment.
I hope the U.S. gun dealers involved and the family of the slain border patrol agent bring a mega lawsuit against the entire 0bama Administration in addition to what is going to happen through Congress!
The Foundation
“[W]hen the resolution of enslaving America was formed in Great Britain, the British Parliament was advised by an artful man, who was governor of Pennsylvania, to disarm the people; that it was the best and most effectual way to enslave them; but that they should not do it openly, but weaken them, and let them sink gradually.” –George Mason
"Gosar said that while it’s troubling that the attorney general may have misled or lied to Congress, it’s important not to lose sight of the real issue here: The Obama administration allowed guns to walk to Mexico in Operation Fast and Furious, which he says is more “egregious” than the possibility that Holder lied to Congress.

0bama is liable for the border patrol agent and all the mexican citizens murdered by the guns he let cross the border illegally.
Meet Maine 's New Governor ---
In case you haven't heard about this guy before, his name will stick in your mind !
The new Maine Governor, Paul LePage is making New Jersey ’s Chris Christie look like an enabler. He isn't afraid to say what he thinks. Judging by the comments, every time he opens his mouth, his popularity goes up.
He brought down the house at his inauguration when he shook his fist toward the media box and said, "You're on notice! I've inherited a financially troubled State to run. Observe...cover what we do...but don't whine if I don't waste time responding to your every whim just for your amusement."
During his campaign for Governor, he was talking to commercial fishermen who are struggling because of federal fisheries rules. They complained that 0bama brought his family to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park for a long Labor Day holiday and found time to meet with union leaders, but wouldn't talk to the fishermen. LePage replied, "I'd tell him to go to hell and get out of my State." The Lame Stream Media crucified LePage, but he jumped 6 points in the pre-election poll.
The Martin Luther King incident was a political sandbag, which brought him National exposure. The 'lame stream' media crucified him, but word on the street is very positive. The NAACP specifically asked LePage to spend MLK Day visiting black inmates at the Maine State Prison. He told them that he would meet with ALL inmates, regardless of race, if he were to visit the prison. The NAACP balked and then put out a news release claiming falsely that he refused to participate in any MLK events. He read it in the paper for the 1st time the next morning while being driven to an event and went ballistic because none of the reporters had called him for comment before running the NAACP release.
He arrived at that event & said in front of a TV camera, "If they want to play the race card on me they can kiss my ass", and he reminded them that he has an adopted black son from Jamaica and that he attended the local MLK Breakfast every year that he was mayor of Waterville. (He started his morning there on MLK Day.)
He then stated that there's a right way and a wrong way to meet with the Governor, and he put all special interests on notice that press releases, media leaks, and all demonstrations would prove to be the wrong way. He said any other group, which acted like the NAACP could expect to be at the bottom of the Governor's priority list!
He then did the following, and judging from local radio talk show callers, his popularity increased even more: The State employees union complained because he waited until 3 P.M. before closing State offices and facilities and sending non-emergency personnel home during the last blizzard. The prior Governor would often close offices for the day with just a forecast before the first flakes. (Each time the State closes for snow, it costs the taxpayers about $1 million in wages for no work in return.)
LePage was CEO of the Marden's chain of discount family bargain retail stores before election as governor. He noted that State employees getting off work early could still find lots of retail stores open to shop. So, he put the State employees on notice by announcing:
" If Marden's is open, Maine is open ! "
He told State employees: " We live in Maine in the winter, for heaven's sake, and should know how to drive in it. Otherwise, apply for a State job in Florida ! "
Governor LePage symbolizes what America needs; Refreshing politicians who aren't self-serving and who exhibit common sense.
Sounds like someone we could use running this country !!!
THE LAW IS THE LAW!
I really love this one.
This is one of the better e-mails I have received in a long time ! I hope this makes its way around the USA several times over !!!!!
So, Be It !
THE LAW IS THE LAW
So "if" the US government determines that it is against the law for the words " under God " to be on our money, then, so be it.
And "if" that same government decides that the
" Ten Commandments " are not to be used in or on a government installation, then, so be it.
I say, "so be it," because I would like to be a
law abiding US citizen.
I say, "so be it," because I would like to think that
smarter people than I are in positions to make good decisions.
I would like to think that those people have the
American public's best interests at heart.
BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE I'D LIKE ?
Since we can't pray to God, can't Trust in God and cannot post His Commandments in Government buildings, I don't believe the Government (Federal, State and Local) and its employees should participate in the Easter and Christmas celebrations which honor the God that our government is eliminating from many facets of American life.
I'd like my mail delivered on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving & Easter. After all, it's just another day.
I'd like the" US Supreme Court to be in session on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving & Easter as well as Sundays." After all, it's just another day.
I'd like the Senate and the House of Representatives to not have to worry about getting home for the "Christmas Break." After all it's just another day.
I'm thinking that a lot of my taxpayer dollars could be saved, if all government offices & services would work on Christmas, Good Friday & Easter. It shouldn't cost any overtime since those would be just like any other day of the week to a government that is trying to be " politically correct. "
In fact....
I think that our government should work on Sundays (initially set aside for worshipping God....) because, after all, our government says that it should be just another day....
What do you all think ????
If this idea gets to enough people, maybe our elected officials will stop giving in to the " minority opinions " and begin, once again, to represent the " majority " of ALL of the American people.
SO BE IT...........
Please Dear Lord,
Give us the help needed to keep you in our country !
'Amen' and 'Amen'
Touché !
These are definitely things I never thought about but from now on, I will be sure to question those in government who support these changes.
At the top, it says, " I hope this makes its way around the USA several times over !!!! "
Let's see that it does.
The most frightening part of all of this (the entire fiasco known as the 0bama presidency) is that NONE of the lame stream media or the reasonable and learned democrats in this country are willing to take off their beer goggles to see how fat and ugly this bitch really is.
Solyndra-gate now has 0bama's prints all over it. $535 Million American TAX dollars thrown away, just like the $2 Billion ($200 Million per day for 10 days) that 0bama spent on that vacation not too long ago...This all on top of the $4 Trillion 0bama has spent in the first 2 years of his illegitimate Presidency... He will never stop spending other peoples money.
"Solyndra was a favorite of the administration until two weeks ago, when the company abruptly shuttered its factory and filed for bankruptcy court protection, leaving 1,100 people out of work and taxpayers on the hook for the loans. Last week, FBI agents searched the company’s Silicon Valley headquarters in a raid that Miller said appeared linked to the loan guarantee.
In one e-mail, an assistant to Rahm Emanuel, then White House chief of staff, wrote on Aug. 31, 2009, to OMB about the upcoming Biden announcement on Solyndra and asked whether “there is anything we can help speed along on OMB side.”
An OMB staff member responded: “I would prefer that this announcement be postponed. .?.?. This is the first loan guarantee and we should have full review with all hands on deck to make sure we get it right.”
In another message, a White House staff member wrote that officials were “walking a fine line with Solyndra needing to begin notifying investors to fly in” for the groundbreaking. It stressed that “this OMB piece” of the review was not final and pointed out that if word of the groundbreaking leaked to the public prematurely, that would “leave us in an awkward place.”
The e-mails also raise questions about whether the administration should have foreseen financial trouble. In August 2009, e-mail exchanges between Energy Department staff members pointed out that a credit-rating agency predicted that the project would run out of cash in September 2011. Solyndra shut its doors on the final day of August.
Notice that last line -- Solyndra went bankrupt right on time."
Republicans win both NY-09 and Nevada seats in Tuesday's special elections. More astounding is the fact that NY-09 was a democrat bunker since 1923. It is the darkest blue of blue for almost 100 years......People are now seeing the truth that democrats are destroying the nation in high gear. Spending and spending on entitlements till America goes broke......
Remember Taco Bell in the 80's how the tortilla chips used in the nachos tasted MUCH better? How about the ground beef taco meat? Used to be much more tastier as well. They took out the lard in both. Even the mexican pizza and nachos belgrande used to have black olives and green onions on them. The sour cream tastes bad now too, because they no longer use regular whole milk. Taco Bell in the 80's was an orgasm of flavor, but no more... Thanks to the liberals/democrats pushing so-called healthier food.
Well, guess what? Taco Bell and ALL fast food is NOT supposed to be "healthy". It is supposed to be convenient and TASTY!
Tell those who are fat and lazy to eat HOME COOKED meals and get exercise! Stop playing with your ipods and text-ing all day long. Stop using a cellphone that is really dangerous to your health! Get outdoors and play!
Your not supposed to eat fast food everyday either. We thin people eat at home mostly, and get physical exercise daily. But because of others, we have to suffer without great tasting fast-food. Thanks to the voters who keep growing government liberals who are bent on controlling all aspects of our lives...
Taco Bell STILL sucks. Only dead-brained kids with burnt out taste-buds eat Taco Bell nowadays. The food is shrinking in size and flavor. Soon Alpo dog food will taste better than your local Taco Bell establishment. I bet before long when you order a mexican pizza it will only consist of the two wafers and some cheese flecks. And the Nachos Belgrande will be nothing but chips. A bean burrito will literally only have ONE bean in it, with the rest nothing but dough....
Remember every time there is a food scare, Taco Bell always removes that ingredient permanently from their menu items. It was the excuse they needed.
Ask yourself "why is gas still so high"? Then think about it. Compare to when Bush was President in '05 and price per gallon was about the same.... Now you say, wait a barrel of oil now is only in the high $80's, and not $140 - $150 like it was after Katrina hit back then. So why is gas at the pump still this freakin high?
Because our $ (Dollar) is so damn low.... That is why. You can thank 0bama (yes that is 0 [zero] bama) and the democrats for destroying our currency.
And while the government is stealing from us to pay for these pieces of blank who will amount to nothing by the way, they are laughing in our faces to boot while they are staying home and unleashing more degenerates from their loins to work the system and prey upon people like you and me.
Check out this video, it shows one of the major problems with wasted hard earned TAX dollars... The link is clean.
What a great system!! Watch this video of Judge Judy before it's removed. CBS already removed this from YouTube. This guy is from St. Paul, MN. This is what your taxes pay for and they tell us we don't have a right to get mad!! Multiply this by the thousands and you can see why this country is in such sad shape.

Another classic example of our great liberal system at work. This guy sure went far on the education grant he received didn’t he? I could surely tell by his perfect speech and the way he expressed his opinions. Definitely a highly educated fellow.
Somehow I don’t remember ever being offered a deal like this during my lifetime. Makes you feel great going to work every day huh? Great system guys, way to go! Only in America my friends, only in America. (What’s left of it and fading fast!)
obama for the working man & woman you say? Let's see, $37,000 a plate dinner fund raisers for obama and Warren Buffet donating to obama's campaign... I don't know about you but no one I know could drop $37K on a dinner.
Yeah, that sounds like the average worker making ends meet to me - NOT!
Remember the lie is the truth and the truth is the lie. It is the democrats who are of & for the RICH, that is why all of Hollywood backs obama. democrats in office also have assets multiple times more $ than Conservatives.
The Conservatives are for Liberty, Freedom, Prosperity, and Americans who work in the Private Sector creating all the wealth for the rest of the Country. Conservatives fight for the common man & woman, while democrats are the lap dogs of the Rich.
How do obama voters like their life now? Are you financially better off than you were in '08? near 10% unemployment (really 20%). Stock investments and 401K's crashing.
Happy now, that you put a child who only knows how to rabble rouse gangs into motion into the White House???? Did you really believe obama spending 4 Trillion tax $ was only a joke? Now you have the results of your choice.
Liberal democrat voters - Live lives of dependency on others, get no where, live handout to handout, have no class, never advance their living standards, and pass that degenerate existence to their children and their children. An endless cycle of hopeless grief.
What a miserable life!
Thanks : ) America needs a complete cure from it's current life support status...
Question for liberals? When you bankrupt America, who is going to bail it out?
And do you really think you will be shielded from the ensuing chaos, anarchy, and genocide?
You better take a breather and clearly review your next voting selections. Conservatives are Americas last trump card for the mess we all are in today.
Your social engineering experiment of the last 45 years has failed on a monolithic scale.
When will the People who vote realize that we need a strong country financially to survive?
This means smaller government, cutting freebie social programs and removing taxes and regulations so companies can start and grow creating wealth for all of us and the U.S. Treasury.....
This also means voting OUT most democrats and all of the RINO's
Looks like the T.E.A. Party candidates are our only hope to save the U.S.A.
History lesson: U.S. Treasury funds GROW (increase) in the nation when taxes and regulations are DECREASED, because more Millionaires and Billionaires invest (risk) their money to open NEW businesses and create jobs. When more people are employed in the PRIVATE SECTOR and more businesses sprout up.... There is an influx of money into the federal coffers. The government gets MORE money.
BUT democrats do not understand economics/business 101 OR the democrats just want to kill the economy and America. That's about the only reasons...
Oil down to $78 and change....If we had a strong dollar$ like when Bush and Reagan were President, oil would be down to $40 per barrel or even less....
If we had a strong dollar$ + drilling in the U.S.A. for oil? Oil per barrel would DROP TO $10 per barrel from OPEC.... But the democrats will allow NEITHER!
Update: Gold now more $ than Platinum....No wonder MSLSD tried to get people to sell their gold and buy platinum. MSLSD are thieves and liars.
http://money.msn.com/top-stocks/post.aspx?post=0f343508-75d4-43e7-bf8e-db8b256983de
Gold price now same as Platinum! It may surpass it? I never bought any Platinum, I always thought it was way overpriced and looked the same as silver in color. Looks like I did the right thing....
How do you like obama's (obombus) economy now? Hope for destruction and change for the worse.......
And if the democrats would stop blocking the U.S. from retrieving their own resources and allow all the companies waiting on the sidelines to create jobs producing energy for America....The ungodly cost and hidden TAX on Americans would disappear overnight basically. democrats are also hurting the poor which does not bother them. So much for their lip service.
I say oil should be removed as a commodity in futures trading. Energy is a necessity, not a luxury. It is the speculation that raises the cost per barrel too.
If the U.S. would retrieve oil from its own soil and waters, it would nullify OPEC as a puppeteer....
Oil plummets to 86.00 per barrel. That means price @ pump should now be around 2.50 per gallon soon. If not? It proves price gouging. Remember during Katrina aftermath oil rose to 150.00 per barrel and never went above 4.50 per gallon at the pump.
Yet, we continue to see 4.30 at the pump while oil was ONLY 96.00 per barrel. something is wrong with that equation!
It's a great one....Hope it gets lots of air time...
Glad to see another group fighting to take back America to its purpose of Liberty. It is about time....
The PIE represents the U.S. standard of living/economy/wealth-
When you have a certain finite sized pie because it’s size (quantity) is limited to the producers labor. Then you have the non-producers request to have some of that same pie as well, yet not produce adding to the pie. Then the non-producers grow in out of control numbers. Two things happen:
#1 The pieces of the pie get smaller for each, and
#2 The pie eventually is used up
This is how societies fall, and how evil Socialists succeed in their quests to destroy.
Don’t you wish now you didn’t vote for obomb? The signs were obvious back in ’08, unless your only source of news were the leftist alphabet sources. They sure raked you and your family over the coals…..
This is the key right here: "Moves to raise the debt ceiling became an annual staple in the 1960s as federal spending rose to pay for the Vietnam War and the social programs created under the Great Society."
It is the Social Programs that are killing the nation. No two ways about it. You can look back at my posts where I showed with charts how the Federal Budget (your tax dollars squandered) are spent. It is all below:
http://grandfather-economic-report.com/
My solution is to open Ellis Island again and follow the criteria that was set forth when my grandparents landed here LEGALLY:
-Must abandon allegiance to mother country
-Must have a job set up first in the USA OR have a family member SPONSOR you before entering the country
-Must be quarantined and checked for contagious or communicable illnesses and diseases
-Must learn the English language upon entering the country
This is what I can remember so far off the top of my head...
Sure does...
They call it "NON ESSENTIAL". Meaning all non essential spending ceases. I say great! Because if it is non essential, like the EPA, community organizers (aka ACORN), foreign charity, and the like, etc. then it is NOT NECESSARY at all in my book.
I say stop all non -essential spending and keep only the one thing that the Federal Government is mandated to do and that is Defense spending only.
Social Security Checks will NOT stop!!! Don’t let the democrats rape your mind again! They are just like child molesters! Using threats and lies!
Again, YOUR Social Security Checks WILL NOT STOP!
The only way for them to stop is IF obama directs them to STOP. And this my friends VIOLATES Federal Law! Get knowledgeable about the U.S. Constitution.
Tell obama to shove it! We will not be a victim to his tyranny! Tell your parents and grandparents to let their Representatives, Senators, and the White House hear you loud and clear to cut the crap! Let them know you abhor the democrats bull***t and want the Republicans to get a backbone and do the peoples bidding like we asked for in ‘10. Stop being sheep!
You keep the change!..... 1918 In the Wasatch National Forest of Utah, 504 sheep were killed by a single bolt of lightning. Sheep huddle in storms and the lightning bolt passed from one animal to another.
Sounds like a certain group of people who voted 95% for obomb (the slow motion terrorist).
Thanks ; )
Where can I sign the petition?
