Intuitively obvious that he is about as rational as your average bag of popcorn.
A thouroughly brainwashed individual incapable of thinking for himself.
Maybe he would care to explain why the media is almost totally ignoring this whole issue?
Perhaps anyone can explain why most of you ignore the topic and instead attempt to malign my character to avoid discussing the issue?

No offense, but you should not be calling anyone else "brainwashed." Pot meet kettle.
Except field agents at CleanUpATF, the website dedicated to exposing and correcting agency waste, abuse, corruption and fraud, arent buying it:
Mr. Jones - if the above is accurately quoted and accurately attributed to you, then to borrow a line from Mr. Grassley "You may be ill-served". You may not have been here long enough to know that ATF does not operate that way. Agents need multiple layers of approval to even begin such an operation, even one that does not encourage and allow sales to known traffickers with no intention of maintaining control or observation of the firearms. If you have been advised otherwise, you may want to consider other sources for your orientation to the agency because you will have no shortage of employees testify contrary to your assertion and be able to back it up with specific examples.
Here's hoping there was a misunderstanding or miscommunication during the interview. We don't need any more classic oversight hearing moments with an employee being asked "Are you lying or are they lying?"
Here's one sure way to tell if the CYA higher-ups are serious: Will they dare help prosecute their allegedly wayward underlings, and risk them telling what they know?

You might want to ask the snotty regressives out their busily spreading their lies if the people who have brought information to light and risked retaliation from the like of the innocent Mr. Melson are insane paranoids prone to far-fetched conspiracies. You might also want to ask them how many insider sources they have when they come up with their attack pieces designed to shield their political champions and subvert the truth, and ultimately the attainment of justice.
And by that I mean actual whistleblowers, not administration talking point dispensers relying on leftist media shills.
How does the fast and the furious campaign have anything to do with my statement?
A major foe of anti gun rights efforts, and Tea Party favorite, Illinois Congressman, Joe Walsh, and 20 other co-sponsors have introduced a bill that would strip the United Nations of all United States funding if the UNs Arms Trade Treaty is adopted. Obama's State Department reversed its position against anti Second Amendment Treaties in 2009 after Obama put the United States under his heavy hand. Stripping American taxpayer's funding would be a good step toward sending the UN to Europe and on into oblivion, where it belongs.
The Bill blasts any treaty that would pose a threat to national security or infringe or abridge the rights of Americans to keep and bear arms or any other Constitutionally protected rights of our citizens. Citing the Constitutions Supremacy Clause, the Bill specifically forbids American United Nations funding if such a restrictive treaty is adopted.

You don't honestly believe that...do you?

Well, from what I have read overseas, it seems to have been the brilliant work of the ATF. I do believe in their stated purpose for the program; to release guns into Mexico, hoping to track them to the various drug cartels. However, it is not out of realm of possibilities that the DOJ would use the aftermath of this debacle to strengthen their case for gun control. That does not mean it was the original intended purpose of the ATF's Operation Fast and Furious. To imply such seems very tin hatesque.
I disagree with the members of Congress calling for Holders resignation. Just demanding his resignation is not really holding the nations top cop responsible for his flagrant disregard of the law.
Instead of his resignation, I would file criminal charges against him for dereliction of duty, willful failure to carry out his sworn duty to uphold ALL of the nations laws, preferential treatment of convicted felons based upon their race, religion and political status and impersonating a US Attorney General. I would tap into the minds of some of the nations best legal experts and throw as many criminal charges against the man as possible.
Where did you get this notion from my assessment?
Please don't quote Godfather Politics again.
While the show trial of Oklahoma City bomber Tim McVeigh was being conducted at Denver, Colorado in April of 1997, another federal proceeding was taking place in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
-------------------
....attorneys representing the Department were interested enough to exhibit virtual desperation when privately begging Judge Michael Burrage to seal the case and all appertaining information lest it be acquired by McVeigh attorneys in Denver!
For some 8 months prior to the April 19, 1995 destruction of the Alfred P. Murrah federal building, Carol Howe had been acting as an informant for the ATF. Her mission was to gather information from and about friends and acquaintances located in Elohim Cty, Oklahoma, a known hangout for neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups in the state.
And although Judge Burrage did indeed seal the records of her trial, a leaked Transcript of Proceedings conducted in a sealed hearing make it clear that Howe had reported to her ATF contact that Andreas Strassmeir, a German national living in Elohim City who had over-stayed his American visa, was both an explosives expert and had made threats about blowing up a federal building in Oklahoma City.
Who would you like the to quote, the NY Slimes?
The only mention they have made on this topic was an editorial character assassination attempt on Congressman Issa.
Ask yourself some of these quetions;
Did Obama, Holder and Clinton not make the false claim that 75% of the guns used in crime in Mexico came from the USA prior to the F&F progam and that we needed stricter gun laws to prevent that?
Did the US DEA and other agencies not already know who the bosses of the Mexican drug cartels were even before F&F?
If they wanted to follow the guns to their eventual destination would thay not have enlisted the cooperation of Mexican authorities rather than not informing them at all?
Did all of the guns go to Mexico, if so how did one of our Border Patrol agents get killed with one of the guns and why did most of the guns from the Indianna operation end up in the hands of drug gang members in Chicago, Ill?
Why would we even expect all ot the guns to go to Mexico since it is a well known fact that those drug cartels have widespread distribution networks operating inside the US?
Why did the Justice Department decline to have the FBI arrest known staw buyers operating out of Texas even though agents in field begged them for warrants before it was too late in order to arrest them as they had been doing under the previous gunrunner program.
Did the head of the Justice in Phoenix not visit the White House and brief Obama's top security advisors on Fast and Furious befoe agent Terry was murdered?
Is Holder not responsible for overseeing all ATF operations? He lied to congress when he claimed he didn't know what was going on.
Why has Holder dismissed agents for 'insufficient' candor when they testified truthfully to congress on the F&F operation?
Your assessment seem superfluous to me.
After the OKC bombing we had a massive government coverup, we don't need to repeat that mistake again.
The ATF might have prevented the Oklahoma City bombing « Coach is Right
Numerous high level Muslim Brotherhood oberatives were also frequent visitors to the compound at Elohim City.
Terry Nichols was known to have had muslim terrorist connections in the Philipines with severl visists there and with hundreds of phone contacts with them leading up to the OKC event.
All of this was written out of the mainstream account just as is being attempted with the current attempt to cover up the extent and purpose of operation Fast and Furious and numerous other similar secret operations.
You are the absolute king of the straw man logical fallacy. Nobody else comes close.

Well we can disagree as to the motives of Obama, Holder and Clinton in launching a program that has been characterized as 'criminally stupid,' but what of the Attorney General of this administration being caught in a lie to a joint congressional committee?
Any comment? (or are in the same state of mind?)
This is hardly Obama's 'Watergate'. Most likely, this will be about as bad as Clinton's 'Whitewater' and GWB's 'Joe Wilson' indiscretions; at worst, this will end up like Reagan's 'Iran-Contra Affair'.
Again, what I said about the Fast and Furious campaign has nothing to do with Obama or Clinton. I think Holder should be gone. DOJ and ATF need some housecleaning.
If you want a to make this about Obama and Clinton on gun control, I believe that is a separate issue.
Agreed. Not even close to being Obama's "Watergate".
