Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Gun Walker - C Span Live

Weich is bobbing & weaving but it's patently clear he's fudging his answers...

Weich's body language as he left the hearing spoke volumes about his state of mind!

He left there with the understanding that even the senior Democrat on the panel is VERY unhappy with him and Holder.

I hope that the message gets back and that they really get dwon to it.

I'm concerned that the POTUS will claim executive privelege and have documents and/or testimony will be withheld.

There's very strict limits on Presidential executive privilege, and emails between ATF director Melson and Holder or others about operational details or operational statuses wouldn't fit into it. DOJ is hosed, and they are running scared.

Weich will very possibly be charged with lying to Congress for his earlier letter on February 4th stating that ATF did not allow guns to be walked.

Dont hold your breath on that. We'll get one mid level head rolling, a little, and the rest re-assignments, early retirements, and the like.

This too shall pass, and the hand slaps wont be heard round the world.

Also, be prepared for some world class spin which turns all of this into a gun control issue.

Fully supported by your MSM (GS)

Weich shoulda been led out in handcuffs.

I think you missed Issa yelling at Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich, and wanting him to produce the person who wrote that line in that letter.

The February 4th letter states, "At the outset, the allegation described in your January 27 letter - that ATF "sanctioned" or otherwise knowingly allowed the sale of assault weapons to a straw purchaser who then transported them into Mexico - is false."

It doesn't say that it's false to the best of their knowledge, it says that it's false. That's been proved a flat out lie. And he repeated it in a letter in May.

The media isn't going to be involved in this, Issa has the power all by himself to move this along and he will. It is NOT going to die.

And it won't be a "mid-level", acting ATF Director Kenneth Melson is proved to have been involved, and it will go higher than him.

I expect to hear about the next hearing and set of subpoena's to in the next day or two. I'm betting it will involve Newell, Melson, etc. Then they will have to name people in the DOJ, and the next hearing will involve them.

Obiged for the updates , Calhoun.The video on the link only plays a couple of seconds for me so I can't track it.

Anybody thinks is "Going Away" is really delusional, and today was a GOOD kickoff..

I didn't see ALL of the hearings today,.....( damned fire is keeping us all hopping here in the potential path of it).

Did catch Issa's 'How dare you' and "Don't apologize for me" lines though.

Do you reckon these hearings will be up on Youtube ?

I like this Trey Gowdy dude.. He's tryin' to get potatoes and the respondent is givin' him lettuce..

The entire 4 hour hearing can be viewed here on cspan, don't know how long the video will stay there.

Since it's 4 hours, doubt it will make it in it's entirety to youtube. Maybe, and there are a couple other places it might be available at.

Will a transcript be available on line , do you reckon ?

my gratitude to those agents that at least tried to interdict and seize those weapons.


imo a perfect example of gov't bureaucracy run amok, when higher ups brushed off their concerns.
