Can you actually say you think Holder sold guns at a gunshop in Arizona to a straw buyer?What lie are you claiming I made again? Chump. The fact is you just lied when you stated Holder did not sell guns. You do not know this because the documents that could have implicated or cleared him were never turned over to Congress. This is precisely the reason Holder was held in contempt. Dummy.
The ATF is not just some "group". They are part of the DOJ and they report directly to the attorney general. High echelon DOJ officials were very aware of the program and authorized it. We don't know if it went to Holder or even Obama because Obama declared executive privilege and Holder refused to comply with Congressional subpoenas on the matter. Hence, Holder was held in contempt after MANY MONTHS of Congress trying to work with him.
And the program was only "legal" in the sense that it was DOJ approved. That doesn't make it not corrupt and not misguided. Haven't we learned that lesson through things like the use of the phony dossier to justify spying on a Presidential campaign?
Now you going to acknowledge the gross hypocrisy of Nadler and other left wingers? Either both contempt charges against an AG are "politically motivated" or both "necessary"? Trashy, disgusting cretin will spin in opposite directions to advance his political objectives. Everything these fools utter must be viewed under that lens.
If you do, you're admitting to lying. That never happened. Were guns sold to the cartel? No, they were legally purchased, but to suspected straw buyers. Straw buyers were followed into Mexico to get the cartel buyers.
Now...be specific...what documents were subpoenaed by Congress and withheld by Holder?
Why wasn't there an investigation into WideReceiver? Guns were handed to the cartels in that operation as well.
