    AG Holder Needs a Lesson in the Second Amendment

    In 1995, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder - who was serving as U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia at the time - attempted to bolster his anti-gun campaign by expressing his desire to launch a public relations campaign to "really brainwash people into thinking about guns in a vastly different way." That's right - his words - "brainwash people" to oppose gun ownership. Ridiculous. Let me say from the start, the use of guns to commit violent crimes is simply unacceptable. And no one shoul   Continue Reading...

    Will Fast & Furious Bring Down AG Holder?

    Let me set the scene. The U.S. implements a gun-running program. Mexican drug cartels get thousands of weapons. A federal agent is murdered. No one is fired. Charges of a cover-up ensue. Documents continue to be withheld. And there are more questions than answers. This is a situation where the Attorney General of the United States continues to change his story about what happened concerning Operation Fast & Furious, the botched gun-running program that resulted in the death of a U.S. Border   Continue Reading...

    There's another showdown underway on Capitol Hill. This time, Attorney General Holder is faced with the most Congressional pressure yet, as he continues to refuse to take responsibility for Operation Fast & Furious, a botched Justice Department gunrunning program that left more than 2,000 weapons in the hands of Mexican drug gangs, and resulted in the death of 300 Mexican nationals - and one U.S. Border Patrol agent. House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) has had it with   Continue Reading...

    More DOJ Dodging over "Fast & Furious"

    U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder pauses at a news conference at the Justice Department in Washington

    We've told you about the decision by Patrick Cunningham, a top Justice Department official in Arizona, to plead the 5th Amendment and refuse to testify in an upcoming Congressional hearing about Operation Fast & Furious - a botched Justice Department gunrunning program that claimed the life of a U.S. Border Patrol agent after weapons ended up in the hands of Mexican drug cartels.

    Congress Wants More Info From Atty. Gen. Holder on Fast & Furious

    U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder before U.S. House Appropriations Committee in Washington

    Congress is once again focusing on the Attorney General Eric Holder and the Department of Justice concerning a scandal that is only likely to grow in scope. As you may recall, Congress has been trying to get to the bottom of what happened with Operation Fast & Furious, the deadly gun-walking program - weapons that ended up in the hands of drug smugglers in Mexico - that took the life of a U.S. border patrol agent. There have been numerous hearings, but the last time Attorney General Holder a   Continue Reading...
