BREAKING..House Republicans Request Special Counsel to Probe Holder on 'Fast and Furious'
fox ^ | 10/04/2011 | fn

EXCLUSIVE: House Republicans are calling for a special counsel to determine whether Attorney General Holder perjured himself during his testimony to the House Judiciary Committee on Operation Fast and Furious, Fox News has learned. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith, R-Texas, was sending a letter to President Obama on Tuesday arguing that Holder cannot investigate himself, and requesting the president instruct the Department of Justice to appoint a special counsel. The question is whether Holder committed perjury during a Judiciary Committee hearing on May 3. At the time, Holder indicated he was not familiar with with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives program known as Fast and Furious until about April 2011. "I'm not sure of the exact date, but I probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks," Holder testified. However, a newly discovered memo dated July 2010 shows Michael Walther, director of the National Drug Intelligence Center, told Holder that straw buyers in the Fast and Furious operation "are responsible for the purchase of 1,500 firearms that were then supplied to the Mexican drug trafficking cartels."

Once more, a tip of the cap is due to David Codrea for his energetic and persistent reporting on this issue.

In all seriousness; if properly investigated, this will make Watergate look like a Kindergarten Picnic.

This is good. Even in the spin cycle the media cannot spin it.
