Are you shocked that the Obama Justice Dept investigated the Obama Justice Dept and ruled that the Obama?

Nope typical of the Obama Cabal of Corruption

Obama's Gestapo investing themselves I will be glad when he is DEFEATED in November

There never was a scandal, and certainly not on the part of the Obama administration.

The truth about the Fast and Furious scandal

June 27, 2012: 5:00 AM ET

A Fortune investigation reveals that the ATF never intentionally allowed guns to fall into the hands of Mexican drug cartels. How the world came to believe just the opposite is a tale of rivalry, murder, and political bloodlust.

As political pressure has mounted, ATF and Justice Department officials have reversed themselves. After initially supporting Group VII agents and denying the allegations, they have since agreed that the ATF purposefully chose not to interdict guns it lawfully could have seized. Holder testified in December that "the use of this misguided tactic is inexcusable, and it must never happen again."

There's the rub.

Quite simply, there's a fundamental misconception at the heart of the Fast and Furious scandal. Nobody disputes that suspected straw purchasers under surveillance by the ATF repeatedly bought guns that eventually fell into criminal hands. Issa and others charge that the ATF intentionally allowed guns to walk as an operational tactic. But five law-enforcement agents directly involved in Fast and Furious tell Fortune that the ATF had no such tactic. They insist they never purposefully allowed guns to be illegally trafficked. Just the opposite: They say they seized weapons whenever they could but were hamstrung by prosecutors and weak laws, which stymied them at every turn.

Indeed, a six-month Fortune investigation reveals that the public case alleging that Voth and his colleagues walked guns is replete with distortions, errors, partial truths, and even some outright lies. Fortune reviewed more than 2,000 pages of confidential ATF documents and interviewed 39 people, including seven law-enforcement agents with direct knowledge of the case. Several, including Voth, are speaking out for the first time.

No, disappointed but not surprised. There is a precedent, going back to President Reagan.

You've been listening to right wing talking point for so long that you are starting to believe them.

you mean like how Bush pardoned Scooter Libby?

They can't prosecute Holder because Holder can't turn over the documents in question even if he wanted to. Republicans in congress knew that. The contempt vote was just a dog and pony show for right-wing voters.

......and in the first time in U.S. history, the attorney general has been held in contempt. :)

Ahhhhh....?
