2012 U.S. Presidential Election

You do realize that the Justice Department is involved in the corruption correct? As it happened under their watch.

You know, of course, that the Justice Department is in charge of deciding extradition requests, right? They weigh the case, decide the circumstances, decide whether the accused has been fairly accused, and decides whether the accused will get fair due process if tried in the country requesting the extradition. If they don't think so, then no extradition.

Of course just noting that many if not all the criminals in the investigation more than likely originated from the Justice Department.

By the way, that news story you provided a link to does not seem to indicate a formal extradition request, at least not a proper one. No names of the crimnals sought on the request (if it exists) are given, no statement is quoted by the Mexican ambassador to the United States, and the Department of State (the place where all such requests must first be sent to) is not even mentioned. I tend to think it was nothing more than an angry statement by a Mexican politician.

Actually I was looking for this story from two days ago which is more up to date on the situation.

Mexico's attorney general says she has asked the United States to extradite six people suspected of providing guns to drug cartels.

Marisela Morales tells Congress that three people are being held in Texas and three in California.

She says two U.S. citizens were being held in Mexico on similar charges. She provided no details in Wednesday's statement and did not mention Operation Fast and Furious, in which U.S. officials followed suspected "straw" buyers of guns heading to Mexico instead of immediately arresting them.

She said one of the cases originated in Madera, California. US officials said this month that two men were being held on suspicion of smuggling .22-caliber rifles into Mexico in a case unrelated to drug cartels.

Roy, I doubt any of those people are top-ranking members of the Justice Department or the Obama Administration. I mean, the way you were talking, you were suggesting that someone in the government was going to go to jail.

Sure, it's much more possible that some crooked cop would be arrested. But until proof of who was ultimately behind it is found, if any ever is, I don't think anyone in the Justice Department if going to go to prison.

So far they have gotten the low level agents and straw buyers, those that authorized it, those in the Justice Department and the Obama Administration are currently being investigated by Congress. They are not willingly going to come out and admit wrong doing. Congress will have to drag them kicking and screaming out of either the Justice Department or the White House and force them into the light of day.

And when the GOP has its most disastrous year ever in 2012, Congress will be out of their hands, and no-one will even remember it. You just wait, Roy...

Come next November, this clown car is going off a cliff.
