OUTRAGEOUS SLAP IN OUR FACES

In dealing with the Department of Justice scandal alone, one reality slaps every American in the face: the audacity of this President and his Lieutenants in his Administration is outrageous and unacceptable.  

Let me walk you through it.  In Philadelphia in the 2008 election, members of the New Black Panther Party were arrested for intimidating voters at a polling place.  In early 2009, Eric Holder dropped all charges against them and flatly refused to prosecute.  

In January of 2010, the BATF engineered the illegal sale of guns across the border from Texas gun shops.   The purpose of the sale, long ago swept under the rug, was to have crimes committed in Mexico with the illegal guns and then to close down the gun shops due to their "illegal" sales, thereby pounding one big nail into the coffin of rights of Americans to bear arms.  But, the plan backfired; an American agent got shot and killed and whistle-blowers came out of the woodwork.  A Congressional investigation ensued, during which Holder named his own Justice Department attorney to investigate and Holder eventually escaped unscathed due to the claim of Executive Privilege by our President.  

In September of  2012, the Benghazi Massacre occurred.  Obama told Eric Holder and the F.B.I. to conduct the investigation of the type of event historically investigated and prosecuted by the military.  The F.B.I. didn't event get to the Consulate until almost three weeks after the Massacre and the Administration continues to stonewall it.  

In May of 2013, the scandal about the I.R.S. targeting conservative groups and individuals broke and Holder was quick to say that he didn't know anything about it because he has "recused" himself.  Although it is customary for a claim of recusal to be done in writing, Holder's for some reason was not. 

In May of 2013, the scandal about the Department of Justice violating the rights of members of the media and press through the judicial process broke and Holder told Congress he didn't know anything about it.  It was later proven that Holder had held discussions on the issue prior to signing a secret warrant against James Rosen of FOX NEWS, a warrant that was kept secret illegally.  Once again, the President promptly washed his hands of it and once again appointed Eric Holder to investigate his own department.  

In other words, my fellow Americans, "Up yours." 


That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
