                              HON. TED POE

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 27, 2012

  Mr. POE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, the Justice Department, with the aid 
of the ATF, facilitated the smuggling of over 2,000 weapons to the drug 
cartels south of the border--the national enemy in Mexico.
  Hundreds of Mexican nationals died as a result of this operation.
  Mexican Attorney General Morales says she was left in the dark about 
Operation Fast and Furious.
  And she wants those officials who were involved to be extradited and 
sent to the U.S. for prosecution.
  She is more interested in Fast and Furious than our own Attorney 
General.
  Our own Attorney General says he still doesn't know who authorized 
this reckless and deadly operation and doesn't want any help from 
Congress to find the answers.
  Tomorrow is the day of reckoning for AG as he still refuses to turn 
over the evidence.
  What is he hiding? And why is he hiding it.
  The time of hiding is over. It's time for Congress to hold someone 
accountable. We call it contempt.
  Tomorrow is Judgment day for the Attorney General.
  And that's just the way it is.
