More ties between Obama Administration and Fast and Furious...

Dennis Burke:  Former US Attorney and Obama donor who was for gun control/assault weapon ban, also ran Fast & Furious
Many in the Obama Administration really do not want us to
get those emails and communications, do they?
Secret Service shutting down protests?

Update (via Protein Wisdom):

From long-time commenter LBascom, comparing the Border Patrol and the Secret Service :

Two federal protection agencies; one protects the country’s borders, one protects the country’s temporary political representative. One is told to take a bullet if they must to do their duty. The other is told to run and hide under threat.

I find it illuminating of our ruling elite’s mind set. They have no intention of living under the conditions they mandate on the rest of us.

A tidy summation without the horrors of one of my thousand-word sentagraphs.  Nicely done.

Victor Davis Hanson has some warning to the GOP:  

5. Fast and Furious. The Republicans may find themselves pursuing the moral and ethical high ground right into a political quagmire, reminiscent of once trying to convince the American people that a sitting president cannot lie under oath with impunity, even as the country sided with Bill Clinton without worry that he had been serviced in the Oval Office by his own in-house intern.
From the little that we know, Eric Holder at best knowingly presented false information to a congressional committee, and at worst also oversaw a harebrained scheme that led to several deaths (among them one and maybe two Americans) and whose ultimate objective is still unclear — and did so as the chief law enforcement officer of the nation. If that stands, in some sense we are then reduced to a banana republic. That said, the Holder mess, in the campaign sense, may divert attention from the economy, will likely not proceed to any further action against Holder or new releases of documents until after the election, and allows Holder once again to play the race card. Unless something dramatic happens, the contempt vote will either not help the Republicans or likely distract them from the economy. That is not a reason to stop now, but only a warning once more of the long road ahead.
