Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder Corruptly Files Papers To Have Congress FOIA 'Fast And Furious' Gun Trafficking Case Against Him Dismissed


President Barack Obama (left) continues to publicly support lawbreaking Attorney General, Eric Holder (right) indicating neither are fit for office

President Barack Obama's Attorney General, the ever corrupt, Eric Holder, who heads up the Department of Justice, has filed legal papers to have the legal case filed by the U.S. Congress, regarding the 'Fast And Furious' gun trafficking scandal, dismissed. The case was filed to obtain documents Holder and Obama are illegally hiding. This is highly disgracefully behavior on the Obama Administration's part and further proof they need to be voted out of office for engaging in wanton corruption and cover-ups.

Several hundred people have died, because with Obama's support, Eric Holder illegally trafficked guns to the Mexican cartels without tracking them, just to see what would happened. Scores of innocent Mexican civilians and two U.S. Border Patrol agents were brutally murdered with the high powered weapons, found at the crime scenes. This misconduct spat on the rights and sovereignty of the Mexican people and dishonored the American people as well, who entrusted Holder with this prestigious post, he has brought into disrepute all over the world.

Obama abused Executive Privilege to help Holder hide the documents from the public and evade criminal prosecution for mass murder. Now the disgraced so-called lawman has taken the coward's approach once again, in filing papers to have Congress' civil case dismissed, as they are seeking  documents to ascertain the full breadth of the scandal and how to put it to an end (possibly saving lives).

The Obama Administration has a serious problem with transparency, repeatedly violating the Freedom of Information Act to their disgrace. For all Obama's talk about transparency in government when he pursued the presidency and won, then failed to deliver on his campaign promises, he has turned out to be the most non-transparent, secretive, clandestine and cliquish president in U.S. history. The American people didn't ask for a dictator,  but got one.


Barack Obama and Eric Holder have made a deal with the devil

As someone that has sued under the Freedom of Information Act to obtain documents, due to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and its parent agency, the Department of Justice (DOJ), engaging in criminal wrongdoing, such as obstruction of justice, dereliction of duty and aiding and abetting high profile lawbreaking stars and executives in Hollywood, in disgracefully and shamefully stealing from my preexisting Copyrighted Catalog of intellectual property, which contains thousands of original songs and hundreds of movie scripts and synopses, the culmination of 25-years of my labor, I can attest, the Obama Administration is wholly corrupt beyond redemption.

Not only did they give the case to a former Department of Justice employee who is now a judge, they also offensively and wickedly conspired to produce some of the ugliest, un-American legal nastiness ever set on paper, to withhold the Freedom of Information Act documents the FBI previously acknowledge in writing they have, but won't release to me without a lawsuit. Imagine that, you are a victim of crime and the so-called law enforcement agency has sided with criminals, due to financial bribery on the part of FBI Director Robert S. Mueller. 

The U.S. Attorney who defended the indefensible, stated in writing that the Civil Rights Act did not give black people equal rights in America and she should go to prison for it, as that is a hate crime on paper. On behalf of corrupt, taxpayer money stealing FBI Director Robert S. Mueller, she also stated that gaining legal justice is not a right of all people in America and it is at his whim (discretion). The judge rounded out the civil rights violating behavior by stating in a ruling that the FBI and DOJ have "sovereign immunity" to do to anyone anything they please and dismissed the case on those illegal grounds. Once again, they all belong in prison.

What's just as bad is the FBI, on behalf of Obama, sent someone up to me in London, demanding to know who I'm voting for in the election and when I'm coming back to America (not to mention having someone inappropriately contact my mom, who has a heart problem thanks to the aforementioned case). Who do they really think they are. There exists a serious disconnect with this administration. They did all this foul stuff to me and are deluded enough to think I'd vote for them. They must be smoking some strong weed.


Weapons issued by Obama's Department Of Justice, bought with U.S. taxpayer money, in the home of a Mexican drug cartel assassin, who among others, used the guns to kill many innocent people, including two Americans

This is the terrible image the Obama Administration has sent out into the world and he needs to be voted out for it. The presidency is not a dictatorship or autocracy (or a personal piggy bank). You don't own America. God and the people do. And if you as an administration can't follow the nation's laws, you need to get out of office and go get jobs in Hollywood with the rest of the criminals. Your conduct is not conducive to the public good and the people deserve better than that.

The public needs to ask itself, what is the Obama Administration hiding that it repeatedly and illegally abuses the law especially in criminally violating the Freedom of Information Act to protect itself and its campaign donors. What are you hiding that's so terrible and horrible you refuse to release it to the public, hypocritically violating the Freedom of Information Act. What's the big deal. Just release the documents. But you can't, can you, because it would show the nation and the world that you are criminals that have spat on the laws you swore to uphold and technically should be in prison for it.

Furthermore, what kind of message does the Obama Administration think it is sending to the watching world and nation, who are aghast, that not even the U.S. Congress can obtain documents from them under the Freedom of Information Act or via any other means. Seriously, what is that. Are you that far-gone and insane to think this illegal secrecy is acceptable behavior in a democracy. How can you have a law on the record books, then arrogantly and defiantly state you are not going to follow it.

Your corrupt, fraudulent and disgraceful conduct has harmed too many people and created too much suffering, not just in America, but the world as well. You have turned the U.S. government into a sham and mockery and harmed its name with the public in ways that cannot be repaired. It is time for you to get out of office. The lawsuit doesn't need to be dismissed - your administration does.

Fast And Furious Lawsuit Draws Justice Department Calls For Dismissal 
 
10/15/12 10:09 PM ET EDT AP - WASHINGTON — The Justice Department on Monday night sought dismissal of a lawsuit by a Republican-led House committee demanding that Attorney General Eric Holder produce records about the botched law enforcement probe of gun-trafficking called Operation Fast and Furious.

President Barack Obama has invoked executive privilege and the attorney general has been found to be in contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over documents that might explain what led the Justice Department to reverse course after initially denying that federal agents had used a controversial tactic called gun-walking in the failed law enforcement operation.

The tactic resulted in hundreds of illegally acquired weapons purchased at Arizona gun shops winding up in Mexico, where many of them were recovered from crime scenes. Two guns in Operation Fast and Furious were found on the U.S. side of the border at the scene of a shooting in which U.S. border agent Brian Terry was killed...


DOJ’s Startling Argument Seeking Dismissal of Fast and Furious Lawsuit 
 
October 17, 2012 at 3:23 pm - On Monday night, the Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a brief asking a federal court to dismiss the lawsuit the House of Representatives filed challenging the President’s invocation of executive privilege in the Operation Fast and Furious case. The House suit seeks to force the Administration to release documents that it is still withholding from Congress, an issue which was discussed in an earlier Heritage Legal Memorandum.

In the midst of the Watergate crisis, President Nixon told the nation, “If the President does it, that means it’s not illegal.” In a similar fashion, DOJ’s brief argues, in essence, that if the President invokes executive privilege, that means it was a valid assertion and that no court of law should ever be permitted to review the matter, period.

Congress To Sue Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder Over 'The Fast And Furious' Murders


Eric Holder and President Barack Obama

The U.S. Congress has announced it will sue Attorney General, Eric Holder, over the "Fast And Furious" scandal that cost several hundred people their lives. It was revealed Holder trafficked illegal weapons to the Mexican drug cartels and did not put tracking devices on them. The weapons were used in a number of murders, which included the killing of several hundred innocent Mexican civilians and two U.S. Border Patrol agents, who were doing their jobs.


Eric Holder

Holder is of the belief he should receive a free pass for what is mass murder, but at the end of the day, he is no better than Colorado killer, James Holmes, who is a deranged schizophrenic that killed 12 at a movie theatre in Colorado, during a showing of the Batman sequel "The Dark Knight Rises." Holder illegally supplied the weapons that killed far more.   
 
 
Eric Holder and the equally corrupt FBI Director Robert S. Mueller
 
It's not the only scandal he is involved in regarding mass murder. Another scandal is going to break regarding his misconduct in another government matter that led to the deaths of even more people over the past 4-years. President Obama should have fired, not defended Holder, as mass murder is inexcusable.

President Obama Invokes State Secrets Act To Cover Up Criminal Murders Caused By The Justice Department In The 'Fast And Furious' Scandal

 

Barack Obama

President Barack Obama's gross lack of transparency surfaced again, as yesterday he invoked and abused the State Secrets privilege, to cover up crimes being committed at the Department of Justice, by his Attorney General Eric Holder, in the "Fast and Furious" scandal. The people expect more than this from you, Obama.   

Holder faces a contempt charge in Congress for the cover up he launched, regarding illegally trafficking guns to drug cartels in Mexico. It was discovered shortly after that the weapons were used to murder several hundred innocent Mexican civilians and two U.S. Border Patrol agents, whose families are outraged and heartbroken at their senseless and preventable deaths.


Eric Holder: Bring it! The president is helping me with the cover up!

It has been publicly stated by the government, the weapons will likely be used in the murder of thousands more people in Mexico and America, as Holder using the Department of Justice and offshoots the ATF and FBI, trafficked the guns to see what would happen, but negligently failed to place any tracking devices on them, losing track of the high powered, sophisticated weapons he inexcusably bought with U.S. taxpayer money. In a time when states are cutting vital services to citizens, due to lack of funds during the financial crisis, it is disgusting that the Justice Department is wasting taxpayer money in this manner (and that's just the tip of the iceberg).

Obama's Department of Justice is famous for covering the crimes of criminals they are connected to and as such are not worthy of office in America, deserving to be voted out. This madness cannot continue. These brazen acts of corruption, absence of transparency in government and and self-serving criminality, are impeachable offenses and the administration needs to get a hold of itself before the worst happens in this regard. The State Secrets act needs to be repealed, as it is being abused to cover up criminal conduct that defies the U.S. Code and Constitution.

Congressman Allen West Demands Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder Resign Over Gun Trafficking Deaths

Since some love to play the race card as an excuse for failure, African American congressman Allen West, has slammed President Barack Obama's Attorney General, Eric Holder as "inept" and "incompetent." West is demanding Holder resign. He stated the corruption that occurred in the "Fast And Furious" scandal, involving Holder trafficking illegal guns to drug cartels in Mexico, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of innocent people, among them U.S. Border Patrol officers, is a matter President Obama must denounce and fire Holder for or the public will accept his inaction as consent.

Eric Holder and Barack Obama

Indeed, if Obama continues to look the other way to this matter, more and more people will believe he condones what transpired, regarding the deaths of innocent people, murdered in the name of a careless Department Of Justice/FBI/ATF government operation. The public is not pleased that Obama continues to support Holder in what is indefensible conduct by the highest ranking law official in the country. This displeasure shall be reflected at the polls.

There's Talk In The Press Of Impeachment For Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder

Eric Holder

There's talk going around of impeachment for President Obama's Attorney General, Eric Holder, who has been lambasted in the press and Congress, for trafficking guns into Mexico and putting cash in the drug cartels hands in a separate operation. All that's left now is for the public to find out he has been trafficking drugs.

Weapons issued by Obama's Department Of Justice, under the orders of Attorney General, Eric Holder, bought with U.S. taxpayer money, found in the home of a Mexicano drug cartel assassin, who among others, used the guns to kill many innocent people, including three American police officers

While Holder thoroughly deserves impeachment, as his illegal operations into Mexico without the consent of their government, cost 3 U.S. police officers their lives, as well as many Mexican civilians killed by the weapons he bought with taxpayer money, as confirmed by reports, I have a better solution. Why not sell him to the cartels, because I'm sure there's nothing they'd love more than a narc (sarcasm). I'm sure the families of the innocent people that died on both sides of the fence wouldn't object (it would be Gitmo in Mexico with Holder as the main guest).

Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder In More Trouble As It Is Revealed He Put Cash In The Hands Of The Drug Cartels In Mexico

Eric Holder and Barack Obama

President Obama's Attorney General, Eric Holder, has been outed in more criminal misconduct. Congress has opened hearings into the credible claims, Holder used American taxpayer money to put cash into the Mexican drug cartels' hands, then lost track of it, in a bizarre initiative to see what would transpire.

Barack Obama and Eric Holder

Holder engaged in the same criminal misconduct, via using American taxpayer money to buy and traffic illegal guns to Mexican drug cartels, lost track of the weapons, which led to the deaths of three U.S. police officers and many civilians in Mexico. Holder owes the Mexican people and government an apology.

Issa opens probe into reported DOJ scheme that put money in drug cartels’ pockets

The California Republican leading a probe into the gun-trafficking sting Operation Fast and Furious is opening an inquiry into another reported Justice Department scheme in which U.S. narcotics agents laundered drug proceeds to Mexican cartels across the border.

The probe is being brought on by a front-page New York Times article from Sunday, which reported that undercover agents have transferred millions of dollars in drug cash across the border to drug cartels “to identify how criminal organizations move their money, where they keep their assets and, most important, who their leaders are.” It’s one of many such international operations like it, though this one started only a few years ago, according to The Times...

Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder Retracts Denials He Made And Sent To Congress And Launches Another Cover Up Of The ‘Fast And Furious’ Deaths

Eric Holder

President Obama's U.S. Attorney General, Eric Holder, has come under fire again for lying in official documents regarding the "Fast And Furious" scandal, while attempting to launch a cover up. The official record of U.S. Border Patrol Agent, Brian Terry, has also been sealed by order of the Justice Department and the White House, in a maneuver that greatly lacks transparency.

The "Fast And Furious" fiasco ended up getting Mexican civilians and U.S. police killed. Holder seems to have a thing for getting police officers killed. What kind of dummy illegally sells guns bought with taxpayer money to a drug trafficking organization, without proper controls or tracking mechanisms of any kind in place (tracking chips ect...). Holder has an astounding lack of foresight and exhibits a great inability to think things through to their consequences. Not good traits for an Attorney General or anyone in public office for that matter.

Barack Obama and Eric Holder

The Judiciary Report has repeatedly warned this year that the Obama Administration is operating under the illegal guise that it has sovereign immunity, is entitled to criminal cover ups that spit in the face of the U.S. Constitution and can break any law it feels like, whilst running America into the ground and causing irreparable damage.

Every five minutes Obama's team at the White House, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) keep rolling out that tired, lying speech falsely claiming they follow the "rule of law" when anyone with common sense and the ability to follow the news can tell they do not. If Nixon didn't get away with it why should you.

Brian Terry's parents lash out at holder over their son's death calling him a "liar" (video interview)

The DOJ has a lot of nerve. You get a police officer killed via criminal negligence, then have the barefaced audacity to seal his record like a bunch of common criminals cleaning up a crime scene. What? Are you going to run your usual special, defaming innocent people as terrorists and spies, so you can break the law against them regarding FOIA records, as you have been doing regarding Brian Terry in stonewalling the press and public from reading about your dirty deeds.

I hope his family takes you to the cleaners in court. You're criminals. You have no business working anywhere with the word "Justice" in it, because you don't even know what it means. However, you have a greater justice to fear and unlike certain sitting judges, you can't buy God off.

Justice Withdraws Inaccurate 'Fast And Furious' Letter It Sent To Congress

December 2, 2011 - Under fire for losing track of weapons that turned up at crime scenes along the Southwest border, the Justice Department has taken the extraordinary step of formally withdrawing an inaccurate letter about the episode that it sent to Congress earlier this year. Deputy Attorney General Jim Cole sent nearly 1,400 pages of emails and other documents to Capitol Hill late Friday afternoon that lay bare the raw and sometimes cringe-worthy process by which the letter was drafted. The materials contain clues into how misleading information about the botched gun trafficking operation made it into a Feb. 4, 2011 letter to Congress that department leaders have since acknowledged was false...

Obama Admin Seals Records of Murdered Border Patrol Agent Implicated in Fast and Furious

11:45 AM, Nov 30, 2011 - And to think that Attorney General Eric Holder is getting testy about congressional calls for his resignation. After all, the Justice Department has nothing to hide, right?:

The Obama Administration has abruptly sealed court records containing alarming details of how Mexican drug smugglers murdered a U.S. Border patrol agent with a gun connected to a failed federal experiment that allowed firearms to be smuggled into Mexico.

This means information will now be kept from the public as well as the media. Could this be a cover-up on the part of the “most transparent” administration in history? After all, the rifle used to kill the federal agent (Brian Terry) last December in Arizona’s Peck Canyon was part of the now infamous Operation Fast and Furious. Conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the disastrous scheme allowed guns to be smuggled into Mexico so they could eventually be traced to drug cartels.

Link via Judicial Watch. The murder of a U.S. Border Patrol agent is related to the Justice Department willingly turning over thousands of guns to Mexican criminal gangs, and Obama administration is hiding information about his death from the public. Amazing.

FBI Director Robert S. Mueller Pats Himself On The Back While The ACLU Slaps Him With Lawsuit For Being A Racist

Robert S. Mueller (Old Sponge Bob Square Head)

FBI Director, Robert S. Mueller, gave a hypocritical speech this week, patting himself on the back for the job he has done at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, but many online and in legal papers are slamming his conduct as appalling and disgraceful.

Mueller stated this week at the International Association of Chiefs of Police Conference, "There is nothing more rewarding than public service." How would he know. He misused a $15,000,000 government private jet meant for FBI agents on emergency terrorism missions, to fly all over the world in style, eating gourmet meals on the taxpayers' dime, then staying in luxury hotels to deliver useless speeches. As stated on the site before, such conduct from anyone in government posts, is not public service. That’s public disservice. You've cost the taxpayers a fortune.

Furthermore, why are you speaking at the International Association of Chiefs of Police Conference, when FBI agents at the Bureau under your charge, routinely speak of police officers in disrespectful terms, in interdepartmental cases, calling them names like "plebs" and "plebeians" they "don't have to tell anything" during investigations.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but local cops nationwide do a better job than FBI agents. And let's not even talk about that obsession the FBI has with tanking the ATF, which is going to come back to haunt them one day. You are presiding over all that madness and do not deserve to be commended for it.

Mueller is currently on the hot seat for spying on and racially profiling blacks, Muslims and Hispanics in America, in a case that has drawn the ire of the ACLU, who presented proof to illustrate the racist FBI Director has been engaging in said unconstitutional conduct. Mueller also implemented a training program at the FBI that branded all Muslims in America fanatical terrorists or terrorists waiting to happen.

President Obama Criticized For His "Complete Confidence" In Scandal Plagued Attorney General Eric Holder


Barack Obama

President Barack Obama is being slammed for supporting his Attorney General, Eric Holder, who is under fire for sanctioning a "gunwalking" program that put U.S. Department of Justice weapons in the hands of Mexican drug cartels, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of civilians and two American border patrol agents.

Eric Holder

Emails reveal Holder knew of and underwrote the program with U.S. taxpayer money, but lied to members of Congress, the press and the public, regarding his involvement, what he knew and when. Holder cost ATF employees their jobs, for following his instructions, in what appears to be an FBI/DOJ set-up, in their ongoing, well-publicized rivalry that was slammed by Congress two years ago. In the face of all this misconduct and blood on Holder's hands, President Obama is unwisely championing his terrible behavior that cost innocent people on both sides of the fence their very lives. Critics from both sides of the political aisle have denounced what transpired.

Weapons issued by Obama's Department Of Justice, bought with U.S. taxpayer money, in the home of a Mexican drug cartel assassin, who among others, used the guns to kill many innocent people, including two Americans

Why Obama would embrace this scandal and Holder is a mystery (not really) and to do so is to taint his own name (definitely). Right is right and wrong is wrong - and Holder is wrong, as people are dead because of his awful, reckless decisions. All this man has done is cost Obama more votes than he can count, as he will soon see in the 2012 election, due to one scandal after another, Holder kick started via corruption. Holder is a disgrace and he owes the families of the deceased an apology. For Obama to back Holder is to spit on their graves and dishonor their memories.

Obama's FBI And DOJ Used Taxpayer Money To Arm Mexican Drug Cartels

You Just Can't Make This Stuff Up

President Barack Obama's FBI/DOJ are currently embroiled in a terrible scandal called "Fast And Furious" named after the Hollywood movie. The FBI/DOJ, under President Obama's Attorney General, Eric Holder, took American taxpayer money to buy guns and send them across the border to the Mexican cartels, via the ATF (an agency the FBI hates, as attested by numerous mainstream articles and congressional testimony).

These weapons ended up in the hands of the Mexican drug cartels, killing an American border patrol agent and civilians in Mexico. No one attempted to track or retrieve the weapons, in deeds that look like a massive set-up the FBI engaged in against the ATF, in one of their famous federal jurisdictional turf wars that have been reproved in Congress and the press.

"Investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson (CBS) says White House official cussed at her over ATF scandal"


The Mexican government is working to neutralize the drug cartels, making thousands of arrests, yet Eric Holder, who knew of the illegal FBI/DOJ program from 2010, but corruptly sanctioned it and looked the other way to the crimes, as attested by a newly obtained email revealing this fact, has been stonewalling the investigation into "Fast and Furious." This has led to calls in Congress requesting a special prosecutor be appointed to investigate Holder.

The money used to purchase the weapons in this illegal program, could have been lawfully allotted to create jobs in America, to aid in decreasing the skyrocketing unemployment rate. Once again, the nation is bearing witness to how the administration is engaging in inappropriate and illegal conduct in other nations, rather than tending to pressing problems in America, such as millions of cases of unemployment and foreclosure.

Eric Holder

While the country is suffering in an unrelenting financial crisis, this is what the Obama administration is doing with taxpayer money, behind the public's back. That is infuriating. The government's "Fast And Furious" is reminiscent of what was discussed in the film "American Drug War."

EFF Sues U.S. Gov Over Social Network Spying

The EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) has slapped the U.S. government with a Freedom of Information lawsuit, regarding the FBI, DOJ, Secret Service and CIA, among others, spying on citizens via social networking websites.

I think it is acceptable for government agencies to hunt for criminals by searching social networking sites, even subpoenaing the records associated with their accounts, when demonstrable crimes have occurred.

However, if the government transgresses privacy boundaries, against innocent people in doing so, by all means, it should be brought to light and investigated.

Just because one is on a social networking site, does not mean law abiding citizens are not entitled to some measure of privacy, regarding private offline messages and IMs, sent through sites such as Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and the like.

The problem that has repeatedly occurred with the FBI, for example, is the agency using lawful investigative tools, to not only spy on criminals, but innocent, influential people as well, with the latter being thoroughly illegal. Kudos to the EFF for demanding an accounting of the government's deeds in this regard.

EFF Sues DOJ for Sleuthing Practices on Facebook, Twitter

2009-12-03 - The Electronic Frontier Foundation and Berkeley's Samuelson Clinic have sued the Department of Justice and five other government organizations for cloaking their policies for using Facebook, Twitter and other social networks to investigate citizens in criminal and other matters. The groups want to know exactly how and what kinds of info feds are accessing from users' social networking profiles. The suit also comes as Congress is considering legislation that may increase protections for consumers who use social networking sites.

More Fort Hood Shooter Emails

President Barack Obama

With each new revelation about the Fort Hood killer, Nidal Malik Hasan, it becomes more apparent the FBI failed and dropped the ball very badly, in an investigation they should have been able to piece together, identifying a terrible threat to national security.

According to the AP, there may be more emails from, Nidal Malik Hasan, which should have sent up many red flags at the FBI, who intercepted them a year ago. One wonders, due to the FBI's notorious cloud of secrecy and habit of hiding self-incriminating evidence, if all the facts and items relevant to the case, will ever see the light of day, under the watch of its villainous chief, Robert S. Mueller.

Nidal Malik Hasan

Congress already warned the FBI to preserve the evidence related to Fort Hood, but they have destroyed items in the past in other cases, to dodge accountability, which is unlawful.

It is also being stated in the press, there is proof Hasan violated military guidelines, in associating with members of Islamic extremist hate groups and passing out literature related to those views.

Had the FBI passed along Hasan's emails to the military, which the Bureau had in their possession for almost a year prior to the shootings at Fort Hood, I am of the belief, they would have realized the threat they had in their midst.

FBI Director Robert S. Mueller

I still do not grasp why the emails were not forwarded to the military, yet the FBI has time to sit on websites like Drudge Report, Politico and the Judiciary Report, coming up in the site statistics as regular visitors. That's not what the taxpayers pay your salaries for and at a whopping $8.5 billion a year, the FBI is hardly a bargain, especially for such poor results. Operating in the manner it does, had the FBI been a corporation, it would have gone under years ago.

One has to wonder, if the FBI once again, engaged in some type of turf war, as they routinely do with ATF, CIA and the NSA. On September 15, 2009, two months before the Fort Hood shooting, the Judiciary Report, for the second time, denounced the FBI's unwillingness to cooperatively share information with its counterparts:

It was also reported today, the FBI continues to feud with sister agency the ATF, who specializes in bomb detonation, in an ongoing turf war that is counterproductive.

At a time when terrorist threats are flooding in, it has been discovered, the two agencies are not sharing information, which is detrimental to the nation. Why are they fighting, as they are supposed to be on Team America. Obama needs to speak to them, as what they are doing is dangerous.

Once again, the FBI's hogging of information, has proven dangerous. It lends the appearance FBI HQ is in it for the glory and credit and not saving lives.

One wonders, if the FBI is sued for the wanton case of criminal negligence and wrongful death that is Fort Hood, particularly its vile director, if Robert S. Mueller, will seek to invoke his standard excuse for being completely inept and corrupt at his job, "The shield of immunity."

Since when does the "shield of immunity" allow you to get innocent people maimed and killed, via preventable acts of terrible violence, you were compelled by law to stop, in your capacity as FBI Director, especially in light of the fact you had credible evidence in your possession that anybody with any sense could see posed a threat to human life. In your case they should call it the "shield of stupidity."

This is the same FBI director that almost fell for an identity theft scam, regarding clicking an email link and amazingly admitted it in an article weeks ago, thinking it a cute anecdote. However, it set off alarm bells with feedback commenters, who stated he is not technologically savvy or smart enough for the job, to nearly fall for something FBI agents investigate and aim to stay ahead of on a weekly basis.

As the site stated prior to the Fort Hood shootings, in what it shall state again, Mueller needs to step down before anyone else gets killed, due to his criminal negligence and sheer incompetence. Your ego in staying in the job, should not take precedence over public safety.

I ask, do you think you bring honor to the FBI, by lecherously lingering in a post, full well knowing, you are sorely inadequate to the task at hand, as this fact has firmly been established with the massive failures and fiascos that have transpired under your watch, with Fort Hood being one of them and 9/11 another, with other items such as the Patriot Act Abuse scandal and computer system failures sandwiched in-between.

Levin: May be more troubling emails from Hasan

WASHINGTON — There may be additional e-mails that could have tipped off law enforcement or military officials to the Fort Hood shooter before he went on his deadly rampage, the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee said Friday.

The U.S. government intercepted at least 18 e-mails between Hasan and Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical American-born cleric. They were passed along to two Joint Terrorism Task Force cells led by the FBI, but a senior defense official said no one at the Defense Department knew about the messages until after the shootings. The official spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss intelligence procedures.

Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., said after a briefing from Pentagon and Army officials that his committee will investigate how those and other e-mails involving the alleged shooter, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, were handled and why the U.S. military was not made aware of them before the Nov. 5 shooting.

Levin said his committee is focused on determining whether the Defense Department's representative on the terrorism task force acted appropriately and effectively.

Levin also said he considers Hasan's shooting spree, which killed 13 and wounded more than 30, an act of terrorism.

"There are some who are reluctant to call it terrorism but there is significant evidence that is. I'm not at all uneasy saying it sure looks like that," he said...

The Pentagon wrote regulations on "dissident and protest activities" in response to soldier participation in skinhead and other racially motivated hate groups. The current rules were written in 1996 and last updated in 2003.

The rules prohibit membership or participation in "organizations that espouse supremacist causes," seek to discriminate based on race, religion or other factors or advocate force or violence. Commanders can investigate and can discipline or fire people who "actively participate in such groups."

The rules also cover the distribution and possession of "printed materials," and gatherings held outside military posts.

The language appears to loosely cover some of the activity law enforcement sources have ascribed to Hasan...
