Issa, California Republican, said at least two scheduled witnesses expected to be asked about a controversial weapons investigation known as \u201cFast and Furious\u201dreceived warning letters from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to limit their testimony.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Of course, this would be a leading news item if it was the Bush Administration. We&#8217;d be reading about it on Huffington Post and the Daily Kos &#8211; however neither of those fine websites have even mentioned the Congressional probe into the US government ignoring it&#8217;s own laws and causing the deaths of US citizens and federal agents of that same government. <\/p>\n<p>The investigation merits barely a mention in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/investigations\/us-anti-gunrunning-effort-turns-fatally-wrong\/2011\/07\/14\/gIQAH5d6YI_story.html\">Washington Post<\/a>. The newspaper that still prides itself on the investigation of Richard Nixon&#8217;s cover-ups won&#8217;t touch this cover up.<\/p>\n<p>Yet we were subjected to months of front page coverage on Valerie Plame, even after it turned out that she had blown her own CIA cover on a magazine cover.  And no one was killed as a result of her outing. But here we have people killed in the line of duty as a result of guns being allowed to be sold to unqualified buyers and to fall into the hands of our nation&#8217;s enemies&#8230;and barely a peep from the Old Media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Washington Times reports this morning that Congressman Darrel Issa is accusing the Obama Administration of &hellip; <a title=\"Issa: White House intimidating witnesses\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=25973\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Issa: White House intimidating witnesses<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25973","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-barack-obama","category-media"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25973","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=25973"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25973\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=25973"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=25973"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=25973"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
