Eric Holder Must Go
Ever since he was confirmed as attorney general, Eric Holder has had his own agenda, supported by the Obama administration. As chief law enforcement officer, many of his decisions have not been in the best interest of this country.
American Thinker interviewed congressmen who see the fiasco of "Fast and Furious" as the last straw and cite this as the final reason Eric Holder needs to resign. In a 2009 operation ATF requested that gun shop owners sell guns, including AK47s, to straw buyers from the Mexican drug cartels. There were approximately 2,500 weapons involved, and to date, only 600 have been recovered. ATF field agents complained that allowing these guns into the hands of criminals set a bad precedent.
Border Congressmen Brian Bilbray (R-CA), Paul Gosar (R-AZ), and Ted Poe (R-TX) are all in agreement that either Eric Holder is an incompetent attorney general because he did not know what was happening, or he knew and is trying to stonewall Congress and cover up the investigation. It appears that it is the latter, since those in charge of the botched operation have been reassigned or promoted with their pensions intact while the ATF whistle-blowers face isolation, retaliation, and transfer. Bilbray angrily stated, "Retaliation against the whistle-blowers is illegal. This is just another case where Holder believes in employee rights unless it is an employee that is blowing the whistle on something this administration has done. This is suspicious conduct which has the effect of silencing people who give information and promoting those who he knows was involved."
