Issa, ATF Agent Warn of ATF Cover-up & Obama’s Watergate

Eric Holder’s position as attorney general is getting more tenuous as pressure grows on him to resign over the gunrunning scandal that saw automatic weapons fall into the hands of Mexican drug lords.

The actions of his Department of Justice are the subject of an Congressional obstruction of justice investigation into the scheme, said Rep. Darrell Issa, the Republican chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

“It is very clear that people were being discouraged from speaking to us,” Issa told Fox News’ Sean Hannity.

And he said that much of the documentation provided by the DoJ has been useless. “If it wasn't already available on the internet, it generally is an all-black page of redaction to where it is of no value.”

Issa said that if Holder did not know about the schemes, Operation Fast & Furious and Project Gunrunner, which saw thousands of automatic weapons end up in the hands of violent Mexican drug lords, he should have done.

“It is almost impossible to believe that everyone, including CBS News and many newspapers and Fox, had reported on Fast and Furious yet Eric Holder still didn't know anything about it.”

He added, “If Eric Holder knew any significant time before he said he knew – just a couple weeks before he testified before the Judiciary Committee – then he's in very serious trouble.

“But I think he's in serious trouble in a different way, he should have known about this, not just this past February, but a year earlier.

That view was echoed by a serving agent in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in an exclusive Newsmax.TV interview.

“Eric Holder did not have any means or interest in containing this and he needs to be held accountable,” said agent Jay Dobyns, who warned, “There are more crimes coming. These guns that were released don’t have an end life. AK-47s and assault weapons are built to stand the test of time.

Dobyns, who shot to fame when he infiltrated the Hell’s Angels for the ATF said the DoJ has been involved in “a huge cover-up,” over the Fast & Furious scandal.
