Eric Holder Should Resign

Holder has not been honest about his involvement in 'Fast and Furious'

YES-Mr. Holder is NOT above law, he cannot resign fast enough.

Fast and Furious is not only a major "gotcha" for him, but should also be aptly used to describe his judicial deliberative skills.

He was hired as a favor-as was the balance of our "leader's". Look at the various appointments, Gil Kerlikowski at the DEA?-Eric Holder? Mr. Obama, take all these folks with you as you pack-up.You guys didn't "miss" the target on civil rights, you removed it.

I hope Michelle didn't do too much redecorating.

At leastwe have 2 people that know where the buck stop. The other 3 appear not to have a clue that the buck stps with the top man. That also includes "O".

Holder is a prime example of breaking laws, what about the black panthers intimidation of white voters in Philadelphia. There is testimony that that DOJ ordered the case dropped after it proved the case! I am just as concerned of the Congress votes to to confirm him in the first place. A Congress that ignores it's oath is as bad a Holder!

Not only is he trying to cover up what he knew and when - the entire plan was to strip us of our 2nd amendment by creating a trumped up fiasco - which backfired. Darn right he should resign, get fired - go to jail.

Thank you for the insightful and candid report on Mr. Holder and the additional background provided Mr. Labrador.

The one thing I find missing in all this information coming out however, is the motive behind it. The motive obviously was not simply to track guns, since 1) it wasn't done 2) the operation was clandestine, never being disclosed to anyone who didn't "need to know" or to the Mexican government itself.

When these aspects are taken into account, there is only one other motive which makes any sense at all, and that is simply to inflate the number of US guns in Mexico as "fast and furiously" as possible. Why would an administration that is as far left as this one is want to do that? In order to justify putting additional gun control regulations in place, further assaulting US citizens 2nd amendment rights.

That is what I believe the operation was actually all about, at it's core.

Such an operation, if connected to the President, as it is unlikely that Holder would have acted without his awareness and approval, may be enough to bring this presidency to an end by the time the investigation concludes.

Why on earth would anyone try to run cover for this outrageous operation? The DOJ has stonewalled the investigation from the start and if Eric Holder is not responsible for Fast & Furious he certainly IS responsible for the cover-up.

The claim that they intended to track the guns is an infantile lie that anyone can see through. They clearly never intended to "track" anything except perhaps by sticking pins in a may wherever a gun was recovered from a crime scene.

This was a purely criminal operation with no conceivable law enforcement objective. The "Justice" Department has sponsored international terrorism for purely political purposes. The complete disregard for public safety is shocking.

If Holder didn't know he darn should have since it involved ATF, ICE, DEA and FBI, all of which are under his command.
