Border Patrol Agent's Union Demands Holder's Resignation

It's about time, the Border Patrol agent's union has demanded Attorney General's Holder resignation over the handling of Fast and Furious and for the death of Border Patrol Agent, Brian Terry.
From the Washington Times: The National Border Patrol Council, which represents all 17,000 of the agency’s nonsupervisory agents, called Monday for the resignation of Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. for his role in the botched “Fast and Furious” gunrunning operation that resulted in the death of a U.S. Border Patrol agent.
Council President George E. McCubbin III, a 25-year Border Patrol veteran, described Mr. Holder’s actions in the case as “a slap in the face to all Border Patrol agents who serve this country,” adding that the attorney general showed “an utter failure of leadership at the highest levels of government.”
Two semi-automatic AK-47 assault weapons found at the scene of the Dec. 15, 2010, killing of Border Patrol Agent Brian A. Terry were traced by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to “straw buyers” who bought the weapons as part of the Fast and Furious investigation.
The agent died during a gunfight with heavily-armed Mexican bandits along the U.S.-Mexico border south of Tucson, Ariz.
More than 2,000 weapons purchased during the ATF-led Fast and Furious operation were “walked” to drug smugglers in Mexico. More than 600 of them still are missing.....
 Mr. McCubbin said the “political shenanigans” surrounding Fast and Furious and the “passing the blame” must stop.
He noted that a Border Patrol agent cannot accidentally step foot in Mexico without a myriad of U.S. and Mexican government agencies being made aware, so there would have been no possible way that Fast and Furious was conducted without the knowledge and tacit approval of the Justice Department and the Obama administration.
“It is time for Attorney General Holder to show the least shred of responsibility and leadership and resign his post,” Mr. McCubbin said. “Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry deserves nothing less.”

This is one issue that will resonate throughout the presidential campaign.  Killing a police officer with no repercussions will lose the support of police unions and other tough on crime folks.  However, losing the police union support will be significant.  And if any police union supports Obama, then they are putting Obama first over a murdered police officer and that would be shameful.
 My guess is that Holder will be thrown under the bus by Obama before the elections, especially when the commercials start flying about Fast and Furious.
