Did Boehner calls for Halt to Fast and Furious Investigation? Not if you are aware of the facts

Commentary by Jim Campbell

I have the highest regard for  Floyd and Mary Beth’s Western Journalism Center.  They come up with great cutting edge articles this one was not among them.  In this particular piece the author, Doug Book,  provides  more disinformation  than reality. 

 

This reporter contacted Speakers office talked with an aid familiar with the article and told me it was categorically false.  Mere words taken from context.

John Boehner To Halt Fast And Furious Investigation, Sell Out To Holder And White House ( A quick Google search will lead to this title, none of them will have take the time to dig for the facts, going through the first page randomly I was treated to the copy and past blogger with no interest in  journalism.

First an article must past the whiff test, this one clearly doesn’t. Why would speaker Boehner tell Darrel Issa, Chairman of the House Oversight committee to back of?  This is not a case of the usual issues members of  congress are not doing the people’s business but their own. The times are caught believing they are above the law while attempting to sweet their transgressions under the rug.

No, this is a case of Officer Terry who died while the Department of Justice lied as has fairly conclusively  been demonstrated with its contradictory statements and obstruction of justice.

Yesterday, Coach is Right published facts concerning an avenue which honest and courageous congressional Republicans might follow in their efforts to bring to justice those responsible for the criminal misadventure of Operation Fast and Furious and its subsequent cover-up.  The following represents current news of a vastly different approach. ( Can we call this a source when the coach copied Doug Book’s story viribatim? )

Congressman John Boehner, the House Speaker better known for displays of weeping than of courage, is reportedly cutting a deal with Eric Holder which would provide a “mutually satisfactory” outcome in Barack Obama’s criminal, gun running endeavor Operation Fast and Furious.

 Months ago, Boehner prevented Darrell Issa filing a charge of perjury against Holder even after documents proved the Attorney General’s May 4^{th. Invariably, these stories link back to a claim made by Sipsey Street’s which used the sourcing for this entire article.  Even if this charge were true, sufficient unequivocal evidence is needed to proceed with legal action in the courts.}

 House testimony concerning the date of his first “acquaintance” with Fast and Furious to be an outright lie.  And now the weepy ( This is reporting or showing your bias?) Speaker will OFFICIALLY let the most corrupt Department of Justice head in the nation’s history off the hook for complicity in the Regime’s murderous scheme to savage the 2^nd Amendment rights of the American people.

The terms of the betrayal John Boehner is currently putting together, using a source of dubious veracity, The Sipsey Street Irregulars.

The Committee will accept the scalps of [Lanny] Breuer and [Jason] Wienstein, DOJ will release enough of the (documents) to condemn them, claim cooperation (thus giving the appearance of recognizing congress’s oversight authority), and Holder will survive – looking like a “leader” for offering them up (along with a few lower level ATF and DOJ folk). The Committee will chalk one in the “Win” column for oversight and holding people accountable. DOJ will have the same for cooperating and accountability.

Lovely, isn’t it!  Hundreds are dead, including two American agents.  One of those dead, Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was literally set up for murder by an FBI INFORMANT who, on December 14^th of 2010, accompanied and LED the drug cartel rip gang responsible for Terry’s death. The other victim, ICE Agent Jaime Zapata was NOT PERMITTED by LAW to even possess a weapon with which he might have defended himself from his killers!

Great deal of opinion going on here with now sourcing.

Yet John Boehner will be pleased to sell them out in order to lay claim to the pathetically comic mantle of a tough-minded Republican leader who brought down 2 Obama Regime, Department of Justice higher-ups. That is, with the approval of the White House, of course.

But in point of fact Boehner will, as usual, simply be doing do what is politically safe and expedient rather than what is RIGHT. He will continue his customary role of bowing and scraping before leftist media and political types who allow useful idiots like himself to remain in positions of strictly limited authority only on condition they make no waves and create no embarrassment for the real ruling class in the nation’s capital.

Are the House committee sources of Mike Vanderboegh–the citizen journalist responsible for so much of what we know of the Fast and Furious scheme and its DOJ sponsored cover-up–right about the looming betrayal to be perpetrated by the Speaker?

We will know by the actions of House leadership and the designated sacrificial lambs in this little exercise of DC collusion.  If Republican leadership demand NO prison time for any of the lambs, the fix is in. If any of those being sold down the river in return for the Regime’s continued ability to escape responsibility actually ARE on the way to jail, yet somehow unable to trade extremely damaging evidence against the DOJ or White House for protected status, we’ll ALSO know the fix is in.

Either way, allowing Eric Holder to stroll scot-free over the graves of Brian Terry and Jaime Zapata would place John Boehner among the most disgraceful and despicable traitors to the American public in our nation’s history. But don’t expect him to shed any tears over such a trifle. Little Johnny isn’t THAT sensitive.
