Ron Paul Calls for Criminal Investigation of Eric Holder
WesternJournalism.com, Dec. 14th, 2011
Yesterday on the Alex Jones Show, Ron Paul said criminal charges should be brought up against Attorney General Eric Holder for his role in the Fast and Furious drug smuggling sting gone terribly wrong.
“He should be immediately fired,” Paul told Alex Jones, “and then there should be an investigation and find out if charges should be made.”
If you don’t know what Fast and Furious is, you can blame the mainstream media and it’s collective smokescreen put in place to protect the Obama administration and Eric Holder.
Here are the basics of Fast and Furious:
The ATF, in 2009 and 2010, encouraged gun dealers to sell more than 2,000 guns, mostly AK-47s and .50-caliber rifles, to smugglers. The idea, ostensibly, was to catch the “big fish” and to stem the flow of illegal weapons into Mexico.
After the guns were sold, ATF supervisors ordered field agents not to stop the smugglers at the border. Of the more than 2,000 guns sold, only a small fraction have been recovered, usually at the scene of a violent crime.
The guns the ATF allowed to be delivered to Mexican drug cartels have been used in hundreds of violent crimes and more than 200 murders, including the Dec. 14 killing of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.
Now the Fast and Furious cover-up is coming apart at the seams.
Ron Paul is absolutely right to call for Eric Holder’s firing and criminal charges should be brought against Eric Holder and anyone who had knowledge of what was going on. Americans have died because of this man’s lack of judgement and because of his refusal to confront the truth. Up till now, the mainstream media has covered him well, but hopefully a presidential candidate, Ron Paul, can help to blow it wide open to the American public.
