The Spanish language television news network Univision unleashed a bombshell investigative report on Operation Fast and Furious Sunday evening, finding that in January 2010 drug cartel hit men slaughtered students with weapons the United States government allowed to flow to them across the Mexican border.
“On January 30, 2010, a commando of at least 20 hit men parked themselves outside a birthday party of high school and college students in Villas de Salvarcar, Ciudad Juarez,” according to a version of the Univision report in English, on the ABC News website.
“Near midnight, the assassins, later identified as hired guns for the Mexican cartel La Linea, broke into a one-story house and opened fire on a gathering of nearly 60 teenagers. Outside, lookouts gunned down a screaming neighbor and several students who had managed to escape. Fourteen young men and women were killed, and 12 more were wounded before the hit men finally fled.”
Citing a Mexican Army document it obtained and published, Univision reported that “[t]hree of the high caliber weapons fired that night in Villas de Salvarcar were linked to a gun tracing operation run by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).”
That operation was Fast and Furious.
The result to date? Yes: absolutely nobody in the Department of Justice was held accountable. Some lesser administrators were allowed to “resign” quietly or found themselves magically reassigned. Nobody was fired. Nobody was arrested.
Clearly, Eric Holder has Obama’s “complete confidence” regarding Fast & Furious:
Paul Ryan said on Monday that Eric Holder has to resign and do so immediately. In fact, Romney said in December of 2011:
“Either Mr. Holder himself should resign, or the president should ask for his resignation or remove him. It’s unacceptable for him to continue in that position now given the fact that he has misled Congress and entirely botched the investigation of the Fast and Furious program.”
Obama is corrupt. He is a liar. He is at once fighting to retain his White House chair and simultaneously disengaged and disinterested in actually LEADING this country.
Trotted out nightly on the DEM/MSM? Of course not.
The federal government has closed a criminal probe of alleged financial misconduct by Arizona lawman Joe Arpaio, who styles himself as “America’s toughest sheriff,” and no charges will be filed, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said on Friday.
A separate federal investigation relating to allegations of civil rights abuses by Arpaio’s office is continuing.
The announcement on Friday marked the end of an investigation that began in November 2010 at the behest of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors to examine alleged financial improprieties by the county sheriff and his deputies.
A federal criminal inquiry into several of those matters was concluded last summer with the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Arizona declining to initiate criminal charges.
Maricopa County authorities were informed on Friday that federal prosecutors had likewise declined to bring charges in connection with allegations that the sheriff’s office had misused county credit cards or misspent money from jail facilities excise taxes.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio has been portrayed in the AMERICAN media as a racist, a criminal, responsible for the hateful and recriminative application of onerous, fatal, oppressive, unlawful, sexist, suppression of the basic and fundamental rights of Americans nationally. To include, of course, those persons who are NOT lawful American citizens but whose status is protected and/or ignored by the very administration tasked with enforcement: the US federal government.
To those of you who cared not for Sheriff Joe Arpaio and determined him to be racist and unlawful I say: under Mr Romney, I submit Sheriff Arpaio’s name for Secretary of Homeland Security.
The U.S. Justice Department says it has reached a settlement with the Sacramento (California) Public Library over a trial program the library was conducting that let patrons borrow Barnes and Noble NOOK e-book readers.
DOJ and the National Federation of the Blind objected to the program on grounds that blind people could not use the NOOK e-readers for technological reasons.
So because a blind person cannot use a NOOK, it’s time to make sure that NO ONE in a Sacramento public library can use a NOOK?
In the land of Mr Holder’s DOJ, the answer is short: correct.
Your friendly, neighborhood ADA Nazis, once again, at work.
And friends, please remember, when people say “Hey, it’s not about the cash!” — you can rest assured it is ALL about the CASH, at least with Scott Johnson.
