Fast and Furious Indictments and Beanbags



Janet Napolitano -Director of the Department of Beanbags

It is a good thing that the Justice Department has identified and charged the men suspected to be involved in the shooting death of Brian Terry. Hopefully, those who are in Mexico will be apprehended and somehow delivered to the US for prosecution-even if it has to be the famous old "hole in the fence" extradition.

However, this in no longer removes the need to know how Operation Fast and Furious was conceived and carried out. The Issa investigation must continue.

It is also noteworthy to note that DOJ has now confirmed that Agent Terry and his partners were armed with beanbags.

Beanbags.

What makes this even more ridiculous is that DOJ and DHS knew full well that the Border Patrol was not dealing with rioting college kids at Berkeley here. They were fighting  well-armed, vicious cartels involved in drug and human trafficking. To make it even more outrageous, they knew that they themselves were supplying these criminals with the very weapons they were using.

Does this not alone justify a demand that somebody lose their job?

Beanbags.

So you believe Eric Holder issued the order to limit ammunition to bean bags?

I did not post a picture of Eric Holder here because the Border Patrol is under DHS, not Justice.

I hold Napolitano accountable for this one, but make no mistake, she knew about Fast and Furious. The co-case agent in Phoenix along with ATF was a guy named Lane France-DHS. This was a multi-agaency operation-an OCDETF case.

The Obama Administration has to be the most corrupt and deleterious to the U.S.A and its citizens. Not only does Janet provide minimally effective weapons to our law enforcement officers, but the puppet of Obama, also allows dangerous terrorists into our country. Representative King wrote to Janet Napolitano, the secretary of homeland security, demanding an explanation for the terrorist Eldin’s visa. “If we’re going to allow someone from a notorious terrorist group into the country, it should be the result of a long, public process of decision-making,” he said.
We are obligated to protect our nation by voting these incompetents out of office.

Under no circumstances should issuing a visa be the subject of public debate. Laws are applied impartially to all, without regard to the peanut gallery.

Cf. Paul Robeson getting his passport back no matter what the State Department thought of his public utterances.

A visa is different: someone who applies for a visa to enter the country is not a citizen. But citizens may want to invite him. The criterion is what the law says, not what some congressman wants to issue a red-hot press release about.
