Today's Daily Caller posted a story stating that Frederick Hill, a spokesman for House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, has told the Daily Caller that the investigations into the Justice Departments Gunrunner Project are expected to lead to people higher than acting ATF director Kenneth Melson.
Director Kenneth Melson is expected to resign in the next few days because of the findings of the Congressional investigation. The article reports:
""The investigations are far from over," Hill told TheDC. "It's quite certain that Kenneth Melson was not the principal architect of this plan nor was he the only high-ranking official who knew about and authorized this operation.""
The investigation is expected to continue even after the resignation of Director Melson. The article concludes:
"Former El Paso Intelligence Center (EPIC) director Phil Jordan said he thinks this scandal goes as high as Attorney General Eric Holder. From his decades of law enforcement experience working with Washington-based Justice Department officials, Jordan said he's sure this kind of program would have needed approval from either the Attorney General or one of his direct deputies."
If this program was authorized by the Justice Department, then it is time for a new Attorney General. If the charges that this program was part of a gun-control agenda are true, then we need a whole new administration. 2012 can't come quickly enough.
