Also because it's such a PITA to comment here. <br /><br />Frankly, reading the comments sections now with just you and Laci and Demmocommie slapping each other on the back with an occasional comment from FWM has gotten rather boring. I reckon my visits will be even less frequent in the future.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18427585162124426985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-85763363089775177622012-07-01T17:38:04.871+02:002012-07-01T17:38:04.871+02:00Simplistic reasoning on your part.
The problems p...Simplistic reasoning on your part.<br /><br />The problems presented by Holder are that some of what has been requested has confidential material that cannot be provided without risk to ongoing investigations, etc.<br /><br />It has already been PROVEN that Fast and Furious was about the failure of prosecutors to authorize arrests of obvious straw purchasers, due to lax gun laws in AZ.<br /><br />I would refer you not only to the lengthy text of Eban's article in Fortune - to which I link in the Penigma version of this post - but to the problems we had in Minneapolis with some of the same individuals in Fast and Furious - NOT the person singled out for trashing by the NRA and right wing -- regarding a gang task force in Mpls., circa roughly 1996. Our STrib (Star Tribune) has covered it quite thoroughly, and I will be doing a post on those earlier parallel problems with prosecution, not the ATF, when it came to straw purchases.<br /><br />That problem btw, was not a criticism of the ATF, it was that the total volume of firearms involved in obvious straw purchases was too large to track and prosecute with the available staff. They, unlike AZ, were more than willing, but lacked the resources.<br /><br />A lack of resources and Right wing spending cuts were a key part of what went wrong in Fast and Furious.<br /><br />Even Issa and Grassley admit they came up with nothing; they were on a fishing trip, hoping to find something. As I'm sure Laci can elaborate, there is appropriate oversight, and then there are fishing expeditions where someone has no clue what they are looking for, they're just hoping to get lucky.<br /><br />The congressional fast and furious investigation was the latter. It relied largely on one disgruntled pseudo-whistleblower who himself turns out to be pretty questionable. There are far more individuals who have first hand knowledge that can back up why that whistleblower is NOT credible.<br /><br />But clearly YOU don't seem to read anything that doesn't mesh with what you want to believe. There is a term for that, cognitive bias.dog gonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151618317070878675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-7060418380799283772012-07-01T17:30:11.218+02:002012-07-01T17:30:11.218+02:00So........inquiring minds need to be told because ...So........inquiring minds need to be told because they can't read?<br /><br />He announced here very clearly he was on vacation and that we were filling in.<br /><br />Although there is a very good chance the changes made under which we returned to admin and author might be permanent after he returns.dog gonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151618317070878675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-56139846158995510132012-07-01T17:28:26.702+02:002012-07-01T17:28:26.702+02:00By the way, whatever happened to MikeB.

Let the public decide who's telling the truth.<br /><br />As long as Holder refuses to release the docs, he's admitting that there is something to the accusations made by Darrell Issa and Senator Grassley.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18427585162124426985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-48522295031741010122012-06-30T14:19:27.879+02:002012-06-30T14:19:27.879+02:00Big Whore Media is our downfall and give the likes...Big Whore Media is our downfall and give the likes of the Issa's free reign to do as they please because they know there will be no accountability. <br /><br />Just as the bush killers knew they could take this country to war on a "pack of lies" and not have to answer.<br /><br />Anyone thinks an election will make it better is nuts.One Flyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03772881642197609507noreply@blogger.com
