Arizona Launches State Investigation into Fast and Furious
2012-01-25
Meanwhile, the Arizona legislature seems to have tired of the obstructionism of the Obama Administration, and has decided to launch their own investigation of Operation Fast and Furious to determine if DOJ officials committed felonies under Arizona state law. They intend to return their findings by the end of March, which would seem to impose some constraint on how much longer DOJ Inspector General Cynthia Schendar can delay publishing the IGÂ’s findings.

The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) came out with a statement in support of the Arizona legislatureÂ’s move.

“The state of Arizona’s decision to launch a probe into this botched program is clearly warranted and underscores the serious nature of what took place with this deadly federally-run law enforcement program,” said Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel of the ACLJ. “Combined with a Congressional investigation that’s still underway, the Arizona probe represents an important opportunity to get to the bottom of what really happened with this flawed program. The Justice Department has been less than forthcoming about its role in the failed operation, and we’re hopeful the Arizona investigation will produce answers – something that both Arizona citizens and the American people deserve.”

The ACLJ has heard from more than 50,000 Americans nationwide urging President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder to provide the truth about Operation Fast & Furious.

#8  I agree with the chewing up the food chain from the bottom up. As you work your way up the chain there will be some one who would rather talk than go to the slammer as a law enforcement type.

They could stream audio from their jail cells at night for all who were interested. Might hasten the process of getting to the root of the problem.

It is funny and perverse that the only place I can find info on F & F is here and on Fox News...elsewhere it doesn't exist.

I'd love to get some guy to sing like a canary on this in October of next year. It's about time the Dems got an October surprise instead of a Republican.

#6  #1 Too bad the state can't supoena the Feds. Start with the traitor in chief and work on down.

Is there not a criminal case that results from the death of Agent Terry? If so, it would seem to me that the Feds could be subpoena'd as witnesses or even charged as a part of a crime.

#5  I am sure Eric Holder is one of the few not thrown under the bus by Obama as he most likely has the kind of Fast and Furious info to take Obama down with him.

#4  It would be funny if the Arizona state legislature passed a resolution recommending their Congresspeople impeach Eric Holder.

#2  The best way is to work your way up the food chain. In this way, you find associations and work to progressively isolate those at the top, who you know are in it deep.

Worked for isolating Pablo Escobar. Works for anyone.
