#1 Breitbart showed that the left are totally thrown by their own tactics.

#2 Holder's failed performance yesterday should harden the resolve of the Ovesight Committee. The ATF whistleblower was on the teevee last night discussing the internal cover up. None of this will end well.

#6 John Boehner might not though Frank. Whether the whiffle-ball of a Speaker goes through with bringing it to the House floor is a toss-up at best.

#7 Ah. switched on Fox to see what the Committee vote count was, and find out Executive Priviledge has been evoked on the Documents Issa requested. Wonder what dirt Holder had on Obama to get him to do that?

#8 Even with no dirt, the premise of Obama is that he is infallable.

#9 Holder's not the only on talking out both sides of his mouth at the same time. Our Commander In Cahoots just chimed in.

#10 Obama has invoked executive privilege over the documents. Now, if he wasn't in on it, why wouldn't he throw Holder under the bus?

#11 if he wasn't in on it, why wouldn't he throw Holder under the bus?

Because he needs Holder to win the elections: every place where Romney won by a small margin will be investigated for due to complains of electoral irregularities---and guess what will be found?

#12 Boehner has scheduled a full house vote next week on Holder's contempt citation coming out of the House Oversight and Reform Committee chaired by Issa.

#13 Interesting comments from 15 May by Larry Pratt at Gun Owners of America. Of course this is well prior to Obama's "Executive Privilege" announcement.

#14 I watched/listen all day -- man, those Dem came loaded! Every other word, from each one of the was "previous administration".....

Even wanted to call up everyone way back to get "The Whole Story. We are voting on only part of the story. Must call up before this body, everybody, etc, etc, etc...."

Best line I heard? "Sounds like Bush is running for re-election."

Dems had to be told over and over and over, the contempt vote is about Holder not submitting the documents that he was subpoenaed to do."

They still don't understand the word subpoenaed.......

#15 Points back to potential US State involvement. I wonder how long the Hildebeast can remain overseas and out of the spotlight?

As early as October of 2009 the CIA and the DEA had sent complaints about the Fast and Furious operation through their respective chains of command, eventually making their way directly to the National Security Council (NSC) at the White House.

#16 I thought State had to have sign off on operations in foreign countries such as F & F. My understanding is that they did not do this.
