Now, just when it seems the House is about to see a victory in the Fast and Furious investigation, it appears that Boehner and other Republican leaders are doing more to hinder the investigation than to help it. A number of reports are starting to surface that this past week, Boehner and his close colleagues have been secretly meeting Democratic leadership to discuss ways of halting Issa’s investigation of Fast and Furious.
This begs the question of what in the world is Boehner doing and why?
If Holder is innocent of the allegations being leveled at him, then Issa’s investigation should exonerate him. But it seems the further Issa delves into the investigation, the more the White House and Democratic leaders are becoming nervous and even jittery over it.
Holder and Obama need to recall that President Richard Nixon was not impeached for his role in perpetrating the Watergate break in, but for his lying to Congress and trying to cover it up. When Nixon realized that he could no longer defend his wrongful acts, he resigned his office as President of the United States.
Holder seems to be taking the very same course of action as did Nixon and he should be realizing that he may have no other choice but to follow Nixon’s example and resign. But the White House does not want this to happen so they are doing everything in their power to hinder and stop Issa’s House investigation.
And it appears that Boehner is once again becoming a turncoat to the Republican Party and seems to be trying to work out some sort of compromise with the Democratic leadership. If there was an annual Benedict Arnold Award, I would nominate John Boehner to be this year’s recipient. Perhaps as long as Boehner retains the position of Speaker of the House, his title should be Traitor of the House. Read More
