The Canadian Free Press has some interesting articles. They despise Obama so I generally read their articles with a grain of salt. In this particular case, however, everything they are reporting is consistent with known facts:

This story has the potential to be beyond explosive. The NRA is one of the strongest political forces in this country. They not likely to be amused! Just think about this. During the last election John Kerry had a picture taken of himself pretending to duck hunt. John Kerry? Duck hunting? Please! It was so bad that even David Letterman could not resist a shot:
“John Kerry went duck hunting and he’s doing that to fulfill his campaign pledge to hunt down the ducks and kill them wherever they are. Kerry did pretty well; he came back with four ducks and three Purple Hearts.” —David Letterman
Kerry did that because, like a lot of Democrats, he knows he cannot afford to be targeted by the NRA. Harry Reid only won re-election because of NRA support. Even if you’re a democrat, being targeted by the NRA in much of the country is a fast track to retirement.
The danger to the Obama administration has increased exponentially because of the obvious cover-up. As with most political scandals, the cover-up often does more harm than the underlying event. The best example of that was Watergate. It was, after all, all about nothing. Some people got caught bugging DNC headquarters. Who cares? Does anyone really think Democrats would have passed up on the opportunity to bug the RNC. (Remember Democrats actually got caught wiretapping Newt Gingrich’s cell phone.) But the cover-up led to the resignation of Richard Nixon.
Brett Hume is one of the most respected reporters in Washington. He is an experienced and careful man. Following are his comments on this issue:
Hume: This is a real scandal. And once again we have the classic question “what did the Attorney General, for example, know and when did he know it.” This Obama Justice Department reminds me of nothing so much as the Nixon Justice Department. You have the scent of high level knowledge, of serious wrongdoing, and you have the smell of cover-up and I think the stench of cover-up on this gunrunning operation is very strong indeed.
This is one time when the Canadian Free Press big bang theory may have some real merit.

Congress better get all the agents they can before them to testify and fast. There’s no use asking Obama, Clinton and Holder anything. There isn’t anything that comes out of their mouths that resembles the truth. There needs to be so much evidence and information available that even they can’t lie their way out of it otherwise not much will happen. They’ve got the media to help cover them.
