Eric Holder to Testify on Fast and Furious

 Eric Holder to testify on 'Fast and Furious'

Eric Holder, when will he finally fess up to the truth, his house of cards will fall down around his head at some point. Will he be prosecuted if proven he lied and covered up? Highly doubtful, his daddy Obama will give him a pass, I just hope that Holder is exposed to be the liar that we know he is.  What would be the highlight if it is exposed and that the anointed one also knew and assisted in the cover up. Which is very doubtful, maybe this just might be Obama's Watergate.   Eric Holder is to be grilled by house Republican Darrell Issa Thursday over Mexican-border gun-running.  In my way of thinking, there is just no way that Holder could not have known.

Washington (CNN) -- Attorney General Eric Holder will face off with House Republican Darrell Issa Thursday over Mexican-border gun-running, a showdown that comes after Issa and the Justice Department exchanged sharp letters in recent days.

Holder is scheduled to appear before Issa's House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Thursday to discuss the controversial sting operation called "Operation Fast and Furious."

The operation, designed to monitor the flow of weapons, allowed illegally purchased firearms to be taken from U.S. gun stores across the Mexican border to drug cartels. However, hundreds of weapons were lost or unaccounted for, and a storm of outrage erupted when two of the missing weapons were found at a site where Border Patrol agent Brian Terry was killed in December 2010.

Democrats and Republicans have since been at odds over who knew what about the operation and when.  Read complete article

The structure of the chain of command would seem to indicate that with a gun walking operation to a foreign is not an operation which a residence agent in charge could authorize. For that matter even a director of the BATF would have to obtain an approval from the head of DOJ. Reason being you are talking about an operation involving another country.

We are talking about allowing WEAPONS into another country. No one, I mean no one could authorize that type of operation without the highest of top level clearance. As luck would have it, two of the "fast and furious" weapons showed up at the murder scene of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry in Peck Canyon.

What makes Fast & Furious so offensive, is the blatant disregard for the rule of law in this operation. The the lower tiered ATF field agent is not to blame in my opinion. It is the High ranking officials in Justice that had the pulse of this operation should have plugged the plug before this fast and furious animal took shape.

$737 Million In Green-Tech Loan To Company Connected To Pelosi Family?

President Obama as the President of United States of America has shown he does not have to abide by the United States Constitution, and can also guarantee huge government ($537 million) loans to private companies  (Solyndra) who were on the verge of financial collapse. 

After Solyndra’s bankruptcy, it was revealed that the company had spent a large sum of money on lobbying, and several of the company’s shareholders and executives had made substantial donations to Obama’s campaign; (as well as to Republicans), and that Solyndra executives had many meetings with White House officials which were not logged into the official White House log.

The United States Tax payer lost $535 million, a half of a billion dollars down the toilet, in addition, the company laid off approximately 1000 employees. Adding insult to injury, the laid-off staff of Solyndra Llc, the bankrupt solar panel maker that owes more than $500 million to the U.S. government, are fighting the company’s request to pay unnamed employees $500,000 in bonuses.

If the Solynda scandal is not bad enough to keep you up at night, please try this next loan on for size. “Solar Reserve LLC, a closely held renewable energy developer, received a $737 million U.S. Energy Department loan guaranteed to build a solar-thermal project in Harry Reid’s Nevada.  How about that! Anothr insider loan guarantee, which now has strings to Nancy Pelosi.  Does the appearance of improprieties

“Solar Reserve LLC, a closely held renewable energy developer, received a $737 million U.S. Energy Department loan guarantee to build a solar-thermal project in Nevada,” reports Bloomberg” The 110-megawatt Crescent Dunes project, near Tonopah, Nevada, will use the sun’s heat to create steam that drives a turbine, the agency said today in a e-mailed statement. Solar Reserve is based in Santa Monica, California.”

The Obama administration is throwing away money with no regard of our financial crisis. It is apparent that Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi  and Hussein Obama have no regard for the United States taxpayer. “Solar Reserve LLC, a closely held renewable energy developer, received a $737 million U.S. Energy Department loan guarantee to build a solar-thermal project in Nevada.

As Tina wrote yesterday, Americans still favor government subsidies to companies unable to otherwise compete in the green-tech industry.  That may be especially true of Nancy Pelosi and her family, but not exactly for reasons of environmental improvement.  Let’s start with this report from The Hill, via Gateway Pundit and Instapundit, on the latest approved green-tech loan from the Department of Energy:

(HotAIR)”DOE announced a $737 million loan guarantee to help finance construction of the Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project, a 110-megawatt solar-power-generating facility in Nye County, Nev. The project is sponsored by Tonopah Solar, a subsidiary of California-based SolarReserve.
The Energy Department said the project will result in 600 construction jobs and 45 permanent jobs.”

Forty-five permanent jobs?  That puts the cost per permanent job at over $16 million, a figure that could employ perhaps a hundred people had the capital remained in the hands of the private sector that produced it.  Whatever else these green-tech loans are, they certainly are not job-creation stimulus. But that’s not the best part.  As both Gateway Pundit and American Glob discover, one of SolarReserve’s “investment partners” is Pacific Corporate Group, through its Clean Energy and Technology Fund.  And PCG’s executive director is Ron Pelosi — brother of Nancy Pelosi’s husband.  Suddenly, this deal makes a lot more sense than spending $737 million for forty-five jobs.(Complete Article)

The ink still has not even dried on the Solyndra, and he comes down the chute another guaranteed loan in the amount of $737 Million to SolarReserve LLC . This little sweetheart deal is about $200 million larger than the Solynda fiasco. This weighs in at three quarters of a billion dollars of good old taxpayer money.  Obama likes to refer to these as “investments,”  If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, rest assured that it is some type of government loan with your MONEY.  If it is such a good deal, Nancy should guarantee the loan with her own money, which really is our money, since she works for me…..Well Nancy, you are fired!
