Obama’s Watergate

Jeffrey T. Kuhner,The Washington Times

A year ago this week,U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was murdered. He died protecting his country from brutal Mexican gangsters. Two AK-47 assault rifles were found at his death site. We now know the horrifying truth:Agent Terry was killed by weapons that were part of an illegal Obama administration operation to smuggle arms to the dangerous drug cartels. He was a victim of his own government. This is not only a major scandal;it is a high crime that potentially reaches all the way to the White House,implicating senior officials. It is President Obama’s Watergate…

Mr. Holder clearly knew about Fast and Furious and did nothing to stop it. This is because the administration wanted to use the excuse of increased violence on the border and weapons-smuggling into Mexico to justify tighter gun-control legislation. Mr. Holder is fighting ferociously to prevent important internal Justice documents from falling into the hands of congressional investigators. If the full nature of his involvement is discovered,the Obama presidency will be in peril.

Fast and Furious is even worse than Watergate for one simple reason:No one died because of President Nixon’s political dirty tricks and abuse of government power. But Brian Terry is dead;and there are still 1,500 missing guns threatening still more lives.

What did Mr. Obama know? Massive gun-smuggling by the U.S. government into a foreign country does not happen without the explicit knowledge and approval of leading administration officials. It’s too big,too risky and too costly. Mr. Holder may not be protecting just himself and his cronies. Is he protecting the president?
