US Attorney admits leaking memo smearing Fast and Furious whistle-blower Former Arizona U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke, who resigned in August, admitted late Tuesday that he leaked a document aimed at smearing Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agent John Dodson, an Operation Fast and Furious whistle-blower. Dennis regrets his role in disclosing the memo but hes a stand-up guy and is willing to take responsibility for what he did, Chuck Rosenberg, Burkes lawyer, said according to NPR. It was absolutely not Denniss intent to retaliate against Special Agent Dodson or anyone else for the information they provided Congress..... http://dailycaller.com/2011/11/09/former-ariz-us-attorney-admits-leaking-memo-smearing-fast-and-furious-whistle-blower/” 9:05:10 AM 11/09/11 “ ”7:50:28 AM 11/10/11 “ ”7:57:00 AM 11/10/11 8:16:45 AM 11/10/11 “ ”8:53:10 AM 11/14/11 “"It's entirely possible Jared Loughner might not have bought the Glock" if his admission of drug use to the army or mental health problems were known, said New York Sen.

For example, consider how Holder continued to defend (and rationalize) the speed at which the DOJ is releasing subpoenaed documents to the committee. How he simultaneously maintained that the DOJ has “shared huge amounts of information” and promised to share more, albeit on the DOJ’s timetable rather than that of the Oversight Committee. But the reality is that the DOJ has only released 8% of the subpoenaed documents, or approximately 6,000 documents. And according to a report from the Oversight Committee, among these 6,000 were many which consisted “of blacked-out pages containing no information,” as well as “many duplicate documents” meant only “to bolster [the DOJs] page count.” (In other words, among the measly number of documents delivered, many contain no information on them.) At the same time, Holder & Co. have turned over 92% more materials (about 80,000 documents) to the DOJ’s in-house Inspector General. And I’m not the only one who views this through a skeptical lense, especially since the IG falls under the auspices of the DOJ. In fact, it’s easy to assume that Holder’s being more open with the DOJ’s IG because he fears them less than he fears Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA) and others on the Oversight Committee. Congressman Dan Burton (R-IN) certainly believes this is so. Thus during his exchange with Holder last week he said: “I think you’re hiding behind something here. There [are] things you don’t want us to see.” Added Burton: “You ought to give us the documents.” Stop for a moment and think about this: What would happen to the average American if they only provided a court or a federally-backed investigative committee with 8% of what that court or investigative body requested? Moreover, what if a portion of the 8% of documents they turned over were blacked-out pages “containing no information”? Why then should Holder receive special treatment? (It’d be nice if the law were applied equally, to the ruling class as it is to the country class.) The good news is that Issa is on record saying that if Holder hasn’t reversed course and complied with the document subpoenas by February 9th, the “committee will have no alternative but to move forward with proceedings to hold [Holder] in contempt of Congress.” Therefore, between now and the 9th Holder needs to hand over the documents and we need to remind Issa that we expect him to follow through with the contempt charges if Holder simply thumbs his nose at the Oversight Committee again.” 6:55:46 AM 2/07/12 “Yawl could tell that wasn't Santorum /Cain, because no sweater vest on the white guy? ”7:54:37 AM 2/07/12 “Might Barack Obama Be ‘The Greatest Gun Salesman in America?’ Take a Look… February 21, 2012 Gun manufacturers would likely not be the first to come to mind when considering industries who have benefited the most during President Obama’s first term, but a study from Ammo.net finds that firearm sales and concealed handgun permit applications are at all-time highs since the 2008 election. Just to show a few statistics illustrating what those in the industry call ”the Obama effect:” * Ruger’s firearm sales have gone from $117 million to $232 million, an increase of 98% * Winchester’s sales of ammunition have gone from $431.7 million to $572 million, an increase of 33% * Federal excise taxes collected on the sale of new firearms and ammunition has risen 48.3% * January 2012 was the 20th straight month of increases in NICS background checks compared to the same month in the previous year * December 2011 saw over 1.41 million NICS background checks run, the most ever for a single month * The few states which regularly report concealed carry permit numbers have seen increases in active permit holders ranging from 46% to 161%” 10:45:56 AM 2/22/12 “DEM CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATE ARRESTED FOR AGGRAVATED ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON Posted on March 17, 2012 at 7:28pm by Erica Ritz Email » Comments (83) Cynthia Chalkingbeard (Photo: KBOI2) Cynthia Clinkingbeard, a BSU professor and Democratic candidate for Congress, has been arrested by Boise police after walking into a Staples store, making “strange, threatening remarks,” and pulling a gun on employees. According to the Idaho Statesman, police were called as Clinkingbeard left the store, continuing to make threats, before driving off in a car. Witnesses described her vehicle, and she was quickly pulled over by an Ada County Sheriff. Because Clinkingbeard was armed, police shut down the highway in both directions for a short amount of time. Two other adults were in her car, but neither are being viewed as accomplices (reports suggest they were not even aware of what had transpired). Clinkingbeard has been booked into the Ada County Jail on three felony counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The police were originally called for what seemed to be an armed robbery, but nothing was stolen. Clinkingbeard is running for the 1st district congressional seat in the May 15 primary race. Her official website is now down for maintenance. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/dem-congressional-candidate-arrested-for-aggravated-assault-with-a-deadly-weapon/ ” 7:37:09 AM 3/18/12 “Have you ever shopped at Staples?
