   Can’t believe that CBS even let her reports get this far. I’ve heard tell that the network is allegedly putting pressure on her not to talk to the media. If the story dies, then we’ll know why, but I think it’s too late even for the MFM to kill it.

   I personally think that this fish stinks from the head. Holder has perjured himself. If the conspiracy is proven administration officials can be charged with accessory to commit murder.

   Atkisson, if she stays the course, may very well wind up with a Pulitzer Prize (if they award it to her and not someone else like Al Sharpton). She may not have a career after that.

   The Bad News: Holder has always gotten away with this kind of thing.

   The Good News: Holder has always gotten away with this kind of thing.

   Yes, the same news. I expect Holder and his boss will be true to form and stick to the playbook. That may turn out to be using it one time too many.

   They may paint themselves into a corner before they realize it is too late.

   Mrs. Malkin, may I respectfully suggest that you clone yourself 3-4 times (or more). There are to many scandals in this administration for any one person to cover them all! Thanks for all you do. ps- you might want to clone Doug also while you’re at it.

   I was pondering this morning how in 1972 the Wasington Post could follow a break in and it ends up toppling a President.

   Thirty nine years later we have a scandal where people die becasue of our government and the same newspaper ignores it.

   Journalism died in 2008.

   Can holder and all involved he held accountable for murder for the border agent killed? How many in mexico killed from the guns could holder and all involved be held accountable for? If here in the US any person is killed, can holder and all involved be held accountabl? These below slug slimes in the wh and all involved need to be held accountable! NO ONE, not even bho or his team can get away with being involved with murder? God, please protect Issa, Grassley, and all whistleblowers seeing this gets resolved.
   Thank you Michelle, HA, Fox, and many others who keep this before the public.

   I guess Holder climbed the ladder of success getting hired by employers applying the “anyone but Obama” principle. Hey! That would be an excellent formula for picking a Republican candidate for president!

    Now that it’s blown in their faces, and killed hundreds, if not thousands of Mexicans(and at least one American agent), they’re runing for the hills. Holder should go to jail, along with EVERYBODY who was involved in this fiasco.

    1. Any outrage on Mexican TV??
    
    An old story about their reaction.

    2. When will Attkisson report from Mexico City and interview their Atty. General about this??

    Question: Why does Eric Holder still have a job?

    Answer: Because he has thrived on incompetence, stonewalling, and corruption his entire career.

    And he’s black – accusing him of incompetence or corruption would be racist. Or something. He’s entitled to it don’t ya know. Reparation.

    Journalism died a long time before that. Heck, I don’t think it ever was alive until the intertubes and people like Michelle, Breitbart and Ace came along. The only reason Watergate was a story was because Nixon was a Republican. Jack Kennedy was as incompetent and criminal in many ways as King Putt is today, but he too had the press in his pocket.

    here’s a report from Mark Hemingway who tried to contact her:

    http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/cbs-news-silencing-fast-and-furious-reporter-due-white-house-pressure_595068.html

    I hope Sharyl hasn’t been duct taped and thrown in a closet. There’s obviously a clean-up going on here. In the first reports of her statement that came out there was a line, before the ‘reasonable’ paragraph, that said the WH was angry that CBS had failed to ‘give them favorable coverage’. That line has been scrubbed and does not appear anywhere.

    …..just when I was beginning to have hope….

    So within the same week, the WH is suspected of strong-arming Ford about an advertisement that was unfavorable to Obama, as well as strong-arming CBS about this investigative reporter.

    Chicago mob style tactics at work once again. First you bribe them. If that doesn’t work, you smear them. If that doesn’t work, you threaten them. If that doesn’t work, you send in Vinnie and Tony to convince them.

    I really hope Michelle finds this and gets ‘people’ looking a bit closer!

    O’Reilly just had a segment on FF. He was talking with the usual suspects about Holder lieing to congress.

    Unfortunatly, NONE of them understood the real problem. They did not look at what that hearing was about. The justice department had sent a fraudulent document to that committee 4 months earlier. Holder was defending that document with his claim he knew nothing.

    It is inconceivable that Holder went into that committee without reviewing everything that had been distributed by anyone in his department to anyone else in his department. That was one of the key reasons for that hearing. Somehow, O’Reilly failed to mention that was the purpose of that hearing. They talked about that sound byte without ever mentioning the context of the hearing.

    Of course, the expert guests did not mention the underlying question was about the other lie, Bill did not mention it, and no one in the justice department is going to mention it until someone calls them out on it!

    The Holder lie they are talking about was made to cover for the OTHER lie! this was already Holder’s chance to correct the record. And Holder LIED AGAIN!

    I have to wonder if Bill has a clue that the real reason for Fast and Furious was to create a situation that would cause the American public to scream for GUN CONTROL !! I doubt it seriously !

    Years ago, as a veteran I testified before a congressional committee on veterans issues. I was sworn in before my testimony, and was sent transcript shortly after to correct any possible mistakes, all under penalty of purjury.

    Holder and the game he is playing is bullsh!t!

    He had plenty of chances to prepare, correct any mistakes during and after the hearing, and to say he misunderstood is crap.

    He is simply seeing whether the committee has the bag to call him on it and go all the way.

    They called him on it, but will they go all the way?

    Very doubtful given what he got away with in the Clinton-Reno JD.

    It is so very amusing to me, seeing all the “best and brightest” in the current administration, hemming and hawing, studdering, mumbling about not understanding the questions, etc. Then comes the parsing of words and phrases by others defending the sworn testimony…they, as liberals, will never hold themselves accountable, as we have seen.

    They will not resign, either, because the taxpayer will pay for their defense as long as they are in government employment. Resign, and they will have to foot all the bills themselves.

    Holder has more to be held accountable than perjury. Negligent homicide, aiding and abetting criminal gangs, smuggling of weapons into a sovereign country without their knowledge or consent, and God knows what else.

    He needs to fry for this…but only AFTER Obama’s out of office, otherwise, there will be a Presidential pardon waiting for him.

    If this was anyone else (not a gov’t employee) they would already be in jail. IMO, any gov’t employee who breaks a law should serve twice the normal sentence if found guilty. They are the ones who make the laws and are sworn to uphold them. If I were to sell a gun to someone across the state line I would be in jail, much less selling to someone across our country’s border who is a known criminal.
