This is great news. Although the MSM has done some reporting on "Fast and Furious/Gunwalker" programs,
this should light a greater bonfire against this anti-2A outrage.

I sure hope so. They've tried hard to distance F&F as an "ATF screw up".....indicting the attorney general should make this harder to distance from the administration.

This is interesting. I wonder if he'll claim some kind of immunity. I wonder if the Obamanation will be willing to stick his neck out for him in an election year.

It wouldn't surprise me if Obama threw Holder under the bus if he started making him look bad...errr worse.

How about another backroom deal? Holder takes the fall with the promise of a pardon from O.

IF the the man occupying the White House loses this fall, he can certainly pardon people on his way out. Most of them do, IIRC.
