On Thursday, the House found
Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress by a vote of 255-67
for refusing to produce documentation related to the Operation Fast and Furious
scandal.
Operation Fast and Furious
involved a coalition of federal agencies facilitating the sale of more than
2,000 firearms to known Mexican drug cartel straw purchasers. At times, federal
agents ran interference for cartel weapon smugglers, thwarting local law
enforcement. The operation collapsed when a number of agents came forward as
whistleblowers following the murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry on Dec.
15, 2010. Agent Terry died following a shootout with a cartel group led by an
FBI informant.
PJ Media has been reporting
Operation Fast and Furious (also referred to as "Gunwalker") since early 2011.
You can see a collection of stories that present the key facts about the scandal
by clicking here.
In cases of corruption, we're
often told to follow the money. On PJTV, Bill Whittle's latest Afterburner video follows the
ideological motives behind Fast and Furious. He concisely explains the scandal
and sums it up by calling it "Watergate with 300 dead bodies."
Neal Boortz said this video is one you
don't want to miss, and that he's in complete agreement with Bill's
viewpoint.
On HotAir.com, Ed Morrissey writes, "Bill
castigates the media outlets that have ignored Operation Fast and Furious,
scolding them with the famous exhortation, 'Have you no shame?'"
Twitter also has been abuzz with
tweets about the video:
- @OffACough: "@PJTV's Bill Whittle unchained. Always a favorite, his most important video yet."
- @shepherd_book: "Bill Whittle is not happy about Fast and Furious, or its tepid coverage in the media. Good for you, Mr. W!"
- @joepalive: "MUST WATCH: Another brilliant commentary by @PJTV's @BillWhittle. It's indeed all about ideology with @barackobama."
This story has been ignored by
the mainstream media for too long. Americans need to know and understand what
happened. That's why we have been reporting on it for more than a year.
Sincerely,
Roger L. Simon
