Holder is playing cover up. Melson did not resign as some in the media are now reporting he was reassigned.
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.”
