Obama And Holder's ATF “Gun-Walking” Cover-Up Is Worse Than We Thought
Maybe they think they got away with it. Former President Barack Obama is now living as a private citizen in Washington, D.C., and traveling to give paid speeches telling anyone who will listen how he was so much better than the current administration. And he is doing this even though he hid behind executive privilege after his administration was caught purposely allowing guns to be run to Mexico.
His former attorney general, Eric Holder—a man held in contempt of Congress for clearly obstructing a congressional investigation into Operation Fast and Furious—is now getting paid a staggering $25,000 a month to serve as outside counsel to advise the state of California on how to legally derail the Trump administration.
Maybe the state of California thinks he got away with it, too.“[Holder] will be our lead litigator, and he will have a legal team of expert lawyers on the issues of climate change, women and civil rights, the environment, immigration, voting rights—to name just a few,” Senate leader Kevin de León told the LA Times, which added that “uch a task typically falls to the state attorney general.”
Maybe the state of California thinks he got away with it, too.
Maybe that’s why they hired him. Congress, however, is still working to tell the behind-the-scenes story of what happened during and after the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) got caught telling gun store owners near the U.S.-Mexico border to sell known gun runners all the guns they wanted. ATF then looked the other way when the guns turned up at crime scenes in Mexico. This asinine secret ATF operation only came to light after two of the rifles the ATF purposely allowed to go into the arsenals of Mexican drug cartels were found at a murder scene where U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry had been gunned down in service of country.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and Sen. Charles E. Grassley, R-Iowa, chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary, along with their staffs and committees, put together a 262-page tell-all report to set the record straight.
This report is the third in a series of joint staff reports. The first, released on July 31, 2012, described the role the ATF had in Operation Fast and Furious. The second, released on Oct. 29, 2012, described the DOJ's role in approving the operation and failing to halt its tactics. This new report, just released last week, describes the DOJ’s obstruction of the congressional investigation into Operation Fast and Furious during the period from Feb. 4, 2011, through the date of the House Oversight Committee subpoena, Oct. 11, 2011. A subsequent report will later address the continued congressional investigation
