AG Holder knew nothing about Fast and Furious

Early 2010 - Washington-based Justice Department officials had earlier discussed bringing Attorney General Eric Holder to Phoenix for a triumphant press conference with Arizona U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke to herald the conclusion of the Department’s flagship firearms trafficking case.

Dec. 14, 2010 - Agent Terry is killed - In the aftermath of Agent Terry’s death, the task of announcing indictments at a press conference fell to ATF Phoenix Division Special Agent in Charge William Newell and Burke. Holder did not attend.

July 10, 2010 - Memo sent to Mr. Holder through the office of the acting deputy attorney general, also notes that the operation involved a Phoenix-based firearms-trafficking ring and says "straw purchasers" were responsible for buying 1,500 firearms "that were then supplied to Mexican drug-trafficking cartels."

February 4, 2011 - (Holder sent a) letter to Congress denying that guns had been allowed to “walk” into the hands of Mexican drug cartels.

March 22, 2011 - (Obama interview on Spanish-language television) "There have been problems, you know. I heard on the news about this story that — Fast and Furious, where allegedly guns were being run into Mexico, and ATF knew about it, but didn’t apprehend those who had sent it. Eric Holder has — the attorney general has been very clear that he knew nothing about this."

May 3, 2011 - Holder claimed that he’d only heard about Fast and Furious “for the first time probably over the last few weeks.”

That cleared that up.

Nail him. If Holder is too stupid to think people won't recognize his outright lies, he deserves to be hammered. He smoking/snorting the same stuff as The King?

And in the alternative, if the AG is too stupid to know what is going on, he shouldn't be AG.

Agreed. Sgt. Schultz bs doesn't cut it for the AG. Stupid or incompetent, he needs to go.

He will. Obama will not let Holder take Obama down. There's a bus waiting.

Bush Stops Inquiry - "We've Got A Dictatorial President" By Glen Johnson - The Boston Globe - 12-16-1

WASHINGTON - President Bush yesterday invoked executive privilege to block a congressional subpoena exploring abuses in the Boston FBI office, prompting the chairman of a House committee to lambaste his fellow Republicans and triggering what one congressman said is the start of "a constitutional confrontation."

"You tell the president there's going to be war between the president and this committee," Dan Burton, the Indiana Republican who heads the House Government Reform Committee, told a Justice Department official during what was supposed to be a routine prehearing handshake.

"His dad was at a 90 percent approval rating and he lost, and the same thing can happen to him," Burton added, jabbing his finger and glaring at Carl Thorsen, a deputy assistant attorney general who was attempting to introduce a superior who was testifying.

The searing tone continued for more than four hours from Republicans and Democrats, liberals and conservatives.

"We've got a dictatorial president and a Justice Department that does not want Congress involved. ... Your guy's acting like he's king." [/b][/i]
