That didnt take long.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa) and Rep. Darrell Issa (R., Calif.) said they were expanding their probe into a troubled anti-gun-trafficking program, two days after the Justice Department announced a shake-up of officials who oversaw the program.

In a letter Thursday to Ann Scheel, the acting U.S. Attorney in Phoenix, Messrs. Grassley and Issa essentially put the Arizona district office on notice, saying its role in the genesis and implementation of this case is striking. They sought extensive documents emails, memos, notes and the like from six top officials, including Ms. Scheel and Dennis Burke, the former U.S. Attorney who was ousted in the shake-up. The lawmakers had signaled on Tuesday that their investigation would intensify
The program, Operation Fast and Furious, was run by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. It allowed suspected gun smugglers to buy some 2,000 firearms, some of which have turned up in crimes on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border; most havent been tracked down. When Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was fatally shot in December 2010, two assault rifles linked to Fast and Furious were found at the crime scene.

Bump.
Yup. They're trying to confine it to Tuscon. Failing that, they'll try to confine it to the DOJ. It's part collusion, part denial, and part ideological complicity. What they may accomplish is to delay this thing until it blows up in Bammy's face next November. Issa isn't going away quietly, having dealt with the MSM's attempt to cut out his legs from under him fairly effectively, so far.

From article:
Holder announced the resignation of Burke and the reassignment of Melson, praising them for their service. He did not mention Operation Fast and Furious.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pete Williams reporting: A senior Justice Dept official says in essence that the Atty Gen Eric Holder had lost confidence in the two of them [Melson and Burke] and that he thought a fresh start was what ATF needed here.

No one is paying attention to the Burke resignation or the terrorist sympathizer that is replacing Melson.

Just remeber Eric Holder and Obama were open to extradicting Bush and Cheney to Spain if charged with War Crimes...these pukes were all for international justice before they are against it (because they will be prosecuted).

Did Holder perjury himself? He was under oath....
Today: (Grassley, Issa Expand Fast and Furious Investigation)
Old but relevant: ( Records show agents fired beanbags in fatal border gunfight)
Until then, I've had about enough Kabuki Theater...
And at the rate Special Prosecutors work, we will have a report out in 18-24 months - after the next election.
“Stay on these criminals like white on rice” and like stink on s*** too!
Holder perjured himself but Obama hasn’t yet Holder works for and answers to Obama.Yet Obama knows if he throws Holder under the bus Obama is exposed in so many ways it would spin your head.So they are trying to do damage control and make one and make this guy the scape goat.NOTE CAREFULLY his resignation letter.(The second link) Fast and Furious is not mentioned. Very strange.
