What exactly are they trying to hide?

Recently Eric Holder had charges of contempt considered against him. All because he does not want to release documents regarding his knowledge, or lack thereof, regarding the Fast and Furious Debacle. For my readers who may not be up on it, Fast and Furious is about the ATF allowing guns to be sold to illegal aliens and people who ought not to have had them. Ostensibly this was to “track the weapons” so they could “catch the ‘big fish’” and stop the criminal element at the roots. In reality the agency lost track of those weapons and did not know what was going on. This was found out after a Border Patrol agent was gunned down by illegal aliens entering the country with one of those guns. Eric Holder, THE guy in charge of the State Department which in turn has authority over the ATF is being questioned about his knowledge of the situation and also what knowledge his superiors (Obama) might have had about the issue. He has refused to turn over documents, which could implicate him or others. Now Congress is trying to determine what legal power they need to bring against Holder and one of those powers is to find him in contempt. I have to wonder though. There seems to be a pattern here. First you have Obama refusing to show documentation of his citizenship, (birth certificate, Social Security Number, Selective Service number) Now you have his Head of the State department doing the same regarding this fiasco. And ALL this from the guy who promised us four years ago that his administration would be “THE most Communicative, open and transparent administration EVER”. Compared to Obama’s administration the former KGB looks open and transparent. Mrs. Brady has been advocating gun control laws ever since her husband was shot protecting Ronald Reagan, has claimed that Eric Holder is a man of “High moral character” and that we all must gather round now to support him from this “Witch Hunt of the Republican’s”. Now Wait just a minute here. Is this really a “Witch Hunt”? I would say No. Holder and others are deliberately withholding information from Congress. This is not the action of a man who is of “high Moral Integrity”. These are the actions of someone with something to hide. And there is no reason to hide any of this stuff unless there is an issue of immorality or culpability attached. And IF there is immorality or culpability then there is NO way that there is “High Moral Character” involved. So I guess my question then HAS to be WHAT ARE THEY HIDING? I find it interesting that Mrs. Brady has fallen heavily on the side of Eric Holder, since she has advocated SO strongly for more gun control for so long. One of the rumors that came up early on about Fast and Furious was the idea that it was a sort of a conspiracy. That the government was “allowing” illegal gun activity in order to create a situation whereby the Obama administration could say “see!?! See?!! The guns that the crime syndicates in Mexico are using came from America. We are at fault we need to control or even take away gun rights for Americans so that they will not be able to give/sell guns to illegals.” As much as I hate Conspiracy theories this one is starting to gain some credibility for me. I mean IF Mrs. Brady was really as interested in controlling guns and keeping them away from illegals then she should be as interested if not MORE interested in seeing where this screw up really came from. But instead of that she is defending the guy who ought to hold the key to the whole issue And that in turn makes me wonder… What is it they are REALLY trying to hide? I suppose that it is entirely possible that this is all just a big tempest in a teapot. But I worry about what the truth really is. I hope that we can get through this and finally find out the truth. More than that I hope that we will all learn something out of this; like what it is to Really be open and honest in our dealings, and also how important it is to be holding our government accountable for it’s actions and works. Until next time… I will be Faithfully watching!
