ERIC HOLDER HAS A UNIQUE CONCEPT OF ACCOUNTABILITY

Not only does the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of POTUS' Administration not know what his department is doing, or when it is doing it, or how it is doing it, but more than two (2) years after the ATF's actions lead to the death of a border patrol agent, he still hasn't bothered to figure it out... To top it off, not one single person has been disciplined for Operation Fast & Furious. Not. One.

Attorney General Eric Holder recently testified that there were some "changes" made but no... no discipline for the death of a U.S. citizen. Two years after the fact. Nothing.

Here are his words, as if the term "as yet" indicates justice will be done... more than two years later. Maybe even three years later? Or ten? How long until we actually discipline someone Mr. Holder?
"No I have not as yet -- as yet," Holder said when questioned by Issa on the matter. "There have been personnel changes made at ATF. We obviously have a new U.S. attorney in Arizona. We have made personnel switches at ATF. People have been moved out of positions."
Very true, some people were moved, and then Mr. Holder praised them for their good work. What a peculiar sense of accountability he must have. A man died and two years after the fact NO-ONE has been disciplined for the program that directly contributed to Brian Terry's death. And yet, somehow, Holder believes he is competent in the administration of his office.

ATF- Gun Runner Project Update

The head of the ATF (BATFE actually) who was in charge of overseeing project "Fast and Furious" where guns were given to violent criminals by the U.S. Government and not tracked, and which lead to the death of U.S. Custom's Border Agents who were actually trying to keep us safe... has "stepped down" as interim chief of the bureau. No he was not fired, no he was not "demoted." He simply elected to "step down" to a different division within BATFE. Guess what department he'll be in now? The Department of Legal Policy. That's not a joke.

How did the Attorney General react? You might suspect that he'd be upset. I mean Holder is the chief law enforcement guy in the Administration after all. Well if you did think that, you're wrong. Here's what Attorney General Holder had to say, personally, about Mr. Melson:

“As he moves into this new role, I want to thank Ken for his dedication to the department over the last three decades."

“Ken brings decades of experience at the department and extensive knowledge in forensic science to his new role, and I know he will be a valuable contributor on these issues...”

That's not a joke either.
