Seems like somebody got caught with their hand in the cookie jar and doesn't want to talk about it.

A key player in Operation Fast and Furious has invoked Fifth Amendment protection in his refusal to testify before Congress about the federal gun-running program that resulted in U.S. weapons being sent to Mexico.

Patrick J. Cunningham, chief of the Criminal Division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Arizona, informed the House Oversight Committee of the decision late Thursday through his attorney, Fox News reported.

Cunningham was ordered Wednesday to appear before Chairman Darrell Issa and the House Oversight Committee to testify about his role in the operation, Fox News reported. The program sent more than 2,000 guns to the Sinaloa Cartel, and guns from Fast and Furious were found at the murder scene of Border Agent Brian Terry.

The letter from Cunningham’s Washington D.C., attorney Tobin Romero, which says Department of Justice witnesses who have supported Attorney General Eric Holder are wrong or lying, stunned congressional staff, Fox News reported.

Cunningham is the second-highest ranking U.S. Attorney in Arizona.

Romero claims Cunningham did nothing wrong and acted in good faith, but the Department of Justice is saying he failed to accurately provide the Oversight Committee with information on the execution of Fast and Furious.




Looks like somebody was setting him up to be the patsy for the crime and he's not playing along. Bad boy! No Club Fed for you!

Treason and cop-killing carries the death penalty under US Code. A US prosecutor would know that.

Funny...as a US prosecutor in Arizona, Cunningham was tasked by Obama with suing Sheriff Joe for arresting illegal aliens, taking away his arrest authority over illegal aliens, and prosecuting Arizona in the World Court to protect illegal aliens (like his illegal alien boss in the White House).

DOJ announces plans to file complaint over alleged racial profiling

Attorney General Eric Holder today submitted a notice of his Justice Department’s intent
to file a lawsuit against Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio for alleged racial profiling.

Arpaio’s Cold Case Posse, meanwhile, has found probable cause in its ongoing investigation
that Barack Obama’s published birth certificate and Selective Service registration forms
are forgeries.

Holder has sought an agreement to establish a court monitor inside Arpaio’s Maricopa County
Sheriff’s Office who would clear every decision he makes.

Arpaio has denied the profiling allegations and refuses to allow the Obama DOJ to usurp
his authority. . . .

. . . Arpaio allies who see a coordinated attack by the Justice Department also point to the
resignation of Dennis Burke, a prominent Democratic Party operative in Arizona, just as the
House Oversight Committee and an internal Justice Department investigation began focusing
on the role Arizona played in Fast and Furious. The scandalous gun-tracing operation has
prompted a House probe targeting Holder.

Patrick J. Cunningham, the head of the Criminal Division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in
Arizona, has said he would take the Fifth Amendment if forced to testify before Congress
regarding Fast and Furious. . . .



. . . . .The worst and most frequent consequence of paranoia is that it's self-fulfilling.
