Roll Call: Issa Probes White House Press Aide in Holder Subpoena

October 14, 2011

Printer Friendly | Email |

(GunReports.com) -- A story in Roll Call notes that a little-noticed provision of the Issa-issued documents subpoena targets the White House, specifically naming Eric Schultz, a communications aide hired to respond to media inquiries on oversight matters.

According to the Capitol Hill newspaper, the subpoena demands “all communications” to or from Holder and 15 other top Justice Department officials on Fast and Furious, as well as every weekly update memo to Holder on any topic over a nearly two-year period. Issa contends that Holder may have learned about the program much earlier than he has acknowledged, and the California Republican been conducting a blitz of media interviews making that point.

Roll Call also reports that the subpoena requires Holder to produce “all communications between and among Department of Justice (DOJ) employees and Executive Office of the President employees, including but not limited to Associate Communications Director Eric Schultz, referring or relating to Operation Fast and Furious or any other firearms trafficking cases.”

Keep digging, keep poking at soft spots. Eventually we'll either get the truth and some accountability, or they'll start to cover-up this mess like a cat trying to bury poop on a linoleum floor. If that happens, it'll be Holder's "Nixon moment" - the one when he realizes his best strategy is to resign.

Personally, I'd prefer to see him squeezed until we actually get the truth - whatever that is.

We have an election coming up in 2012. Have you noticed that all the Congressmen pushing for this investigation are REPUBLICANS! Where are all of the pro-gun democrats? Are there pro gun democrats? Where are they hiding? Harry Reid had his picture in American Rifleman. Where is Reid on this issue? It appears the democrats have a backbone issue-they DON'T HAVE ONE! Remember this in Nov 2012.

In all of the finger pointing, we are overlooking the fact that what Holder and his Fast and Furious subordinates did was not just a policy failure; it was a series of criminal acts. We are past people resigning; they should be going to jail. A good man died on U.S. soil as a direct result of their criminal actions and only God knows how many have been killed in Mexico. That is the very definition of felony murder.

I read on a really reliable board. The shift of the investigation was towards the DEA not the ATF as the ones who were in charge of F&F. The board specifically stated: F&F has direct connections to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as being a mastermind of F&F.

MSD - I want to see that. Link me up please.
