Congress got its act together and sent over some subpoena’s to the Attorney General’s office to get Eric Holder and others to come and testify. Just as those subpoenas were appearing at the Department of Justice, they discovered that Mexico had uncovered a plot to kill the Saudi Arabian Ambassador. Now, this plot was first uncovered in June and everyone in the Justice Department knew about it then, but they announced it now. It is just chance that it was at exactly the same time as the subpoena that was going to make Eric Holder come testify.
The plot to kill the Saudi Arabian Ambassador goes something like this: Two Iranian operatives came to Mexico to kill the Ambassador. One contacted a supposed member of a drug cartel and offered to pay him $1.5 million to bomb the Saudi Arabian and Israeli Embassy’s in the United States.
The big question is if they knew of this plot since June, why is the information coming out this week? I can see holding it for a couple of weeks to double check information. But if you are releasing all this information now, you could have released it then. What is so significant that you have to release it now and not last week or next month?
It is the same game that Bill Clinton used during his Presidency when he wanted to blunt bad information. When something bad was happening, Bill Clinton would release information that was positive or bomb someplace to create positive headlines. By doing that, the bad headlines would fall into the background and it would be as if they never happened, except the news junkies like me. The government controlled media would cover the diversion and not cover the news story. The same thing is happening today with this story of the plot to kill the Saudi Arabian Ambassador. The government controlled news media is completely ignoring the story of the subpoenas that are going over to the Justice Department and only covering the plot.
This diversion does not change any facts. The subpoenas are still on their way from Congress to Eric Holder over in the Justice Department. There is nothing he can do to stop them. One way or the other, he will be required to appear before Congress and answer questions. He can continue to lie and/or distort the truth or he can come clean and admit what actually happened. My guess is that he is a good soldier and he will continue to hide the truth. He will be the one to fall on his sword in order to protect the ones really responsible in the Obama administration. He will do that because Obama will most likely promise him a pardon if he does fall on his sword. That way justice will be thwarted.
Eric Holder is obviously guilty of many crimes involving Operation Fast and Furious. The only question is how many others were involved in making the decisions that resulted in the tremendous loss of life in the United States and Mexico. If Holder falls on his sword, we will never know the truth. If he tells what he knows, we will get to the bottom of the corruption that is Operation Fast and Furious. I do not look for that to happen because it is too rosy of a situation. Crooks and criminals like Eric Holder and those in the Obama White House have this code of “Dishonor” that requires some lower lever level person take the fall for their superiors. This is common to all criminal societies.
