| Issa Says Fast and Furious Docs May Implicate Eric Holder |
| 2016-01-21 |
| [Breitbart] Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) told Breitbart News Wednesday that documents the Obama administration may be forced to produce regarding Operation Fast and Furious could implicate former Attorney General Eric Holder and his staff. On Tuesday, a federal judge invalidated President Barack Obama's use of "executive privilege" to prevent the documents from being provided to a congressional investigation, saying that some of the material had already been cited by the administration in public. The judge will hear more arguments before ordering the documents released. Issa told Breitbart News that his continuing investigation into Fast and Furious could uncover possible criminality by former Attorney General Eric Holder and his staff, thereby providing a new incoming administration with the facts they would need to bring charges. Issa said: The next administration could well choose to deal with people's crimes, particularly the conspiracy to cover this up, to falsely mislead the American people. There were a number of areas in which criminal activity could alleged, and as it stands right now the biggest question is that Eric Holder swore he didn't know about this a number of times. And some of that has been proved wrong. If we're able to see that his hand-picked US Attorney Dennis Burke was involved in communicating to people in the justice department that would indicate a number of people testified falsely. He stressed that he believes it is important to remember the Republican candidates are the ones most likely to pursue charges relating to Fast and Furious. He said they would do this both out of a commitment to enforcement of the rule of law, and also because evidence of "false statements"--if such evidence is found--would mean that those who made them "knowingly let felons gain access to weapons for crimes." |

| #10 I have never been able to determine if there are limits on the ability of a President to pardon, Can he just wave a wand and an entire class of people be excused from criminal conduct? Illegal aliens, all black drug criminals, every member of the US government, all the members of the Democratic Party? Surely there must be some limiting factor beyond shame, cause this jackass doesn't know the meaning of the word! |

| #9 Wouldn't the perjury numbers start at the end of an investigation? They are designed so you can drag people back in after something is resolved but shouldn't apply to encourage foot dragging. Doesn't matter as he will be pardoned. |

| #6 Frank, actually it might be very short: "I hereby pardon everyone in my administration for all of their crimes. Except General Petraeus." |

| #4 This is easy: Issa recalls them to the committee and makes them answer the questions again. That restarts the perjury clock... |

| #3 Make sure the Mexican AG gets copies. Maybe next year they might send an extradition request or maybe offer a swap for El Chapo. |
