Eric Holder must resign now

The Fast and Furious Scandal is not going away. Now the media wants it to die. The White House wants it to die. Eric Holder definitely wants it to die. But as one sees with the stories that are surfacing throughout the country, people are just starting to realize how wrong it was. And the death of a border patrol office does not help matters. No, Eric Holder must resign. The Congress must begin hearings and these hearings need to be thorough.

House Republicans are calling the the appointment of a special counsel.

Since Holder knew what was going on as early as July 2010, House members are asking if Holder lied to House members on May 3, 2011 when he testified at a Congressional hearing.

What's even more interesting, CBS News investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson -- who has been reporting on the story from the beginning -- explained in an interview on the Laura Ingraham Show on Tuesday that the White House and Justice Department screamed at her for reporting on the story. The Weekly Standard reports that persons from the White House cursed and screamed at her for not letting go of the story.

Mounting evidence claims that Holder knew about it all.


Holder was the wrong person for Justice from the beginning. His poor judgement have made it more dangerous for government employees along the border states. This is the same poor judgment as exercised by the president.

He needs to resign - now. Congress should commence more hearings. This scandal cannot be ignored.
