Hardly. The door has been left open to negotiate getting the committee what they need to investigate. The Justice Dept has shown good faith.This action reeks of political motivation, and doesn't seem to be a real issue of lack of cooperation, rather one of the committee overstepping to inflict political damage and create an unnecessary issue during the campaign. Obviously you know nothing about Nixon. Don't raise a spectre when you don't know what it's all about.

Chris, the "October surprise" was related to the Iran Contra affair, where many members (including the president who wasn't prosecuted only because of his mental impairment) of the White House acted clearly and deliberately in defiance of laws enacted by Congress.There was no "waste" in that matter, it was a completely legitimate investigation into actual illegal activity. Just like Watergate. |

Hmmmm. It's interesting how the GOP isn't interested in the Fast and Furious operations that were carried out under President Bush. Not a peep about that from Issa. Oh, and by the way, the "executive privilege" invocation was done at the request of the Justice Department, not by Obama himself.InB4 the word humping... |

AG Michael Mukasey knew about the Justice Department's "Gun walking" operations as early as 2007. The tactic of following illegal guns back to their distribution kingpins is neither new, nor unique to the Obama Administration. I see Issa's machinations as just another GOP strategy to delegitimize President Obama, in keeping with their often-stated goal of making him a one-term President.The timing of this manufactured "scandal" is too convenient, IMO. |

Deliberately allowing hundreds of dangerous firearms into the hands of murderous Mexican criminal syndicates isn't? You really want to assert a "3rd rate burglary" which didn't even result in any bodily injury as worse than this?Proff that it was deliberate? I dunno about you but just because a burglary doesn't involve bodily harm doesn't make it not a crime. If so, go ahead. I've won. You always claim victory. Because you're never around to see your interpretations smacked down :) Or you figure nobody will notice. |

OK, so why has no prosecutor taken the ATF agent allegations seriously and opened a criminal investigation? Perhaps they're not very credible? Perhaps they're covering up their own failings?As for the Mexican government, how would they know the motivation for the program? Have any of them testified that they were told by someone who would be in a position to know? If a crime was committed here, it's not Darrell Issa's job to find out. It's a prosecutor's job. Recall that Nixon didn't fall because he stonewalled Congress, he fell because he stonewalled a duly authorized criminal investigation. |

That's what some are alleging. They wanted to see a spike in gun crime to create climate for new gun control laws, especially in border states where they are decidedly unpopular.That's exactly the charge one of the dead border agent's family is alleging in a wrongful death lawsuit against the DOJ |

"Operation Wide Receiver", then.With assurance from ATF "that Mexican officials would be conducting surveillance or interdictions when guns got to the other side of the border",[24] Detty would sell a total of about 450 guns during the operation.[22] These included AR-15s, semi-automatic AK-pattern rifles, and Colt .38s.
