Holder emails + Fortune investigation: GOP lied.

It is a bad day for Republicans.  First it was the healthcare ruling, now the DOJ has released some additional Holder emails from early on in the Fast and Furious ATF debacle, backed up by a Fortune magazine investigation published yesterday.  Reality has exploded in the face of Republicans.

Contrary to what Republicans have been insinuating publicly, Holder wasn't involved with F&F.  Rather, Holder had been trying to get to the bottom of what's going on, tersely replying to aides that, "We need answers on this. Not defensive BS. Real answers."

Worse, the whole narrative being pushed by Republicans, has been proven all lies, by a Fortune magazine in-depth, 6-month investigation.  You need to understand: Republicans lied.  >There was zero gun-running across the border, period.

Republicans didn't just twist some truths, they flat out lied to Americans.


Additional: Arizona's loose gun laws is the primary reason why Mexico's drug lords are buying guns through proxies in America, then having them walked over into Mexico.  In other words, the NRA's and GOP's own anti-gun control dogma is the real reason why a border agent was shot to death.


Update: Republicans in the House voted to hold Holder in contempt of Congress.  The epitome of politics, Republicans have decided to go all in on the big lie they've been publicly offering to America, that has been exposed.
