Without further ado, here it is:
Fast & Furious, aka, "Gunwalker"
The House Oversight Committee has USAG Holder in their sights for Contempt of Congress, but according to Brit Hume, senior analyst for Fox News, who opined on this issue tonight on O'Reilly, there will be a behind-the-scenes game played by Issa and Holder, who will give just enough of the 92% of the documents subpoenaed, but not yet delivered, to keep the noose off of his neck.
This situation is ripe for waking up the US of A with, and Romney is the guy to do it. If he bumps up Fast & Furious to near the top of his agenda to hammer on Obama with, he will add some stiffening to the spine of Rep. Issa, and maybe Issa will be less likely to cave or make a "backroom" deal which would let the inventor of Gunwalker walk.
Holder, at least, and probably Obama, conspired to try to weaken the SCOTUS-strengthened Second Amendment by a false-flag operation that was supposed to show how US guns were arming the violent drug cartels in Mexico. With plenty of evidence to show that the cartels didn't need US guns, but had a better supply of (military) arms which they got from Central America and the corrupt military in Mexico, Gunwalker was supposed to smother all that evidence, and, at the very least, "close the gun-show loophole", if not allow an acceptance of AWB Two. When the Border Patrol agent got killed on duty with a "walked" gun, though (just bad luck, really; by the numbers, he should have been killed with a Mexican M16 or Central American M16 or AK), it blew the lid off of Gunwalker, and gave an actionable cause to Issa & Co.
If Brit Hume was right, and he usually is, Holder and Obama will skate on Gunwalker until after the November election.
Romney could change all of that, give Obama a huge black eye, force him to throw Holder under the bus, and forever cement his creds with the gunnies. Heaven only knows those creds need cementing after Romney's anti-gun performance as MA Governor.
So, whichever readers are contemplating sending campaign cash to Romney (I haven't convinced myself to do that yet), consider putting the check in with a letter strongly urging Romney to start using the GOP treasury to highlight Gunwalker, and keep highlighting it.
If the GOP campaign smarties can do that, it will, at least, raise enough of a 2A ruckus that even if Obama wins a second term, he will be likely to have to forgo 2A Executive Orders, which would then be just too hot a topic for him to touch. In the best of scenarios, with Romney harping on Gunwalker, Holder might just be cut out of the herd, the GOP wolves getting their prey, and maybe, just maybe, he might cut a deal with Issa to stay out of the hoosegow. That deal, of course, would involve implicating his boss as having okayed Gunwalker.
Gunwalker could be the issue that brings down Obama, but to attain that status, it will need a boost by Romney. The One Big Question is: does Romney believe strongly enough in the 2A to give Obama the severe test he should get with Gunwalker?
I can't answer that just now, nor can I say that I really want Romney to win.
Only Romney could change that, and Gunwalker is his chance to do exactly that.
