If You Want to Stop Crime In America, Start In The White House And Work Your Way Down

Over 200 people are confirmed dead, including at least one US agent, with “Fast and Furious” weapons which were directed into the hands of drug cartels in Mexico at the order of our Justice Department and the BATF.

Under oath Attorney General Holder denied any knowledge of the operation or active participation in it and continues to deny his involvement to this day:
“My testimony was truthful and accurate and I have been consistent on this point throughout. I have no recollection of knowing about Fast and Furious or of hearing its name prior to the public controversy about it.”

Holder also lashed out at some of the more extreme charges being leveled by Republican lawmakers, such as a statement this week by Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) that federal officials who approved the “gun-walking” technique should be charged as accessories to murder.

However, CBS News reports that Holder did, in fact, have knowledge of the operation in July of 2010, and received at least seven memos where Operation Fast and Furious was mentioned by name.

I heard they have already destroyed documents linking them to anything.

The next time a citizen gets arrested for murder, accessory to murder, perjury, felony weapons charges, etc, I'm SURE all he/she needs to say is "I have no recollection of ever purchasing, storing, or using ANY of these weapons or having any knowledge of such things until the police handcuffed me". THAT should do the trick. Maybe there is a secret interpretation of the Patriot Act that allows the police and their leaders to murder other Federal agents and get a pass. Yeah Yeah....THAT'S the ticket....

If this surprises anyone by now, then you are definitely very ignorant. The government is the law, they can do what they want when they want. But us regular people, we have to follow the law. Its so disgusting it makes me sick. We act as if we are a country out to make everything right, when in reality we are out for our own personal gain.
