Barack Obama has spent a political lifetime profiting from underhanded deals made with one or another fellow incarnation of the devil.
So in 2009, when Obama appointed Ken Melson to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, he once again did what arrogant, would-be dictators do…he made a criminally irresponsible deal with a fellow egotist and power hungry usurper.
Melson had spent 12 years as a director of the American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors/Laboratory Accreditation Board, lecturing throughout the nation on the wisdom of giving his organization absolute authority over procedural, ethical and certification requirements governing forensic labs in the United States.
So upon Melson’s appointment to the ATF, Obama created the White House Subcommittee on Forensic Science, designating Melson a co-chair with authority over staffing and agenda. Armed with the power and prestige of a supportive President, Melson could now dictate policy to forensics practitioners across the nation.
And in return for this little fringe benefit, Melson had only to manage the ATF’s Operation Fast and Furious. And that was quite simple. Just place a few thousand guns in criminal hands, ensure their safe conduct across the Mexican border and keep track of the body count as the weapons appeared at crime scenes throughout two countries.
The purpose: keep Obama’s gun-grabbing base happy by manufacturing an outcry for more restrictive gun legislation in the U.S.
But now that Fast and Furious has been exposed and a number of its illegally trafficked rifles linked to the deaths of two American federal agents, the Obama regime needs a fall guy. And Melson is tailor made for the role.
The smart money said he would resign under pressure a week ago, taking one for the team. But Melson had other ideas. “The acting director of the federal [ATF] is standing his ground and resisting pressure to step down…”, reports the L.A. Times, adding that Melson “…does not want to be the fall guy.”
And as Melson doggedly refuses to become Obama’s latest bit of bus fodder, the President and his DOJ lackey Eric Holder must be more than a little concerned to learn that Melson will testify later this month before Ranking Member Charles Grassley’s Senate Judiciary Committee. The subject, of course, will be the ATF and its Operation Fast and Furious. Who was in charge; who authorized it and WHY; did it enjoy White House approval and a host of other questions will be asked of Melson and, if answered truthfully, could force resignations from DOJ flack Lanny Breuer to A.G. Eric Holder.
Watergate consisted of stupid behavior. Fast and Furious is responsible for deaths and is criminal behavior. If the former resulted in the fall of a president, what magnitude of political or criminal fallout can we expect from the latter?

I hope he hasn't planned any trips on small airplanes, and he better avoid any visits from the Clintons. People live much longer under those circumstances.

Our men and women of honor are under the
thumb of a Jew hating, America hating bi-sexual muslim.
Come on now Raymond we're all friends here, you can tell us your real feelings about Obama. :-)
Hello Ray!
You had me in full agreement up until the, er…bi-sexual thing ! C'mon Man! If there's something you know about the " Egoist-in-Chief 's" private affairs you've simply gotta share it with your compatriots at Coach is Right ! 'Ya can't just make a statement like that then walk away without offering up SOME naughty details ! Inquiring, prurient, minds want to know !!!! :-)
I'll do as you suggested, keep your eyes open. Ray.
IMPEACH OBAMA NOW!
Would it be too much to ask for "Witness Protection" for Melson? But wait ! Doesn't Eric Holder oversee that program ?
Aw, what a bummer.
I reckon Melson is "toast" . He's damned if he does, and he's damned if he doesn't.
It's a "given" that his career ambitions in Washington have tanked (along with his ability to be king of all things "forensic" in the USofA ) whether he "sings" or not..
My prediction is that Melson, if he lives long enough to testify, will lie through his teeth (or suddenly develop hysterical amnesia ) ; thereby making a mockery of Issa's committee findings.
Unless there are considerably larger numbers of agents and related "others" willing to come forth to validate each others' claims and participation; I really don't see this getting off the ground high enough to nail the true vermin at 1600 Penn. Ave and DOJ.
I would love to be proven wrong in my assessment however ! What a fitting end it would be for Holder and Obama: to be taken-out by another rat!
As an aside, what fool could , or would , risk baby-sitting this mechanistic mouth-breather long enough for him to implicate "The Anointed One" and DOJ ? Not something I'd rush head-long into.
Joanne,
Though a bit late for Obama to consider a trip to Ft Marcy park for Melson I think you are probably correct about his testimony for Grassley's committee. In return for Grassley dropping the "hold" he had placed on 3 of Obama's nominees for various government posts, the Senate Judiciary committee will be given all of the documents previously refused it by the ATF and Melson will provide testimony. This deal was brokered by Senator Patrick Leahy…the same true-blue, highly honorable guy who leaked defense dept secrets!!!!! In short, I can't IMAGINE Melson providing ANYTHING of substance. Nor can I believe the documents which remain after a careful scrubbing by the ATF/DOJ will contain anything important. But Grassley and Issa are committed to their work and this is not a story which will go away any time soon. Those on the case will not permit it.
So much depends upon Melson. Obama would cheerfully throw him under the bus and Melson MUST know it, otherwise he would have resigned. But Obama is a crooked deal maker from way back. Who knows what the latest one might be.
