WASHINGTON - New documents obtained by CBS News show Attorney General Eric Holder was sent briefings on the controversial Fast and Furious operation as far back as July 2010. That directly contradicts his statement to Congress.
On May 3, 2011, Holder told a Judiciary Committee hearing, "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."

The Justice Department told CBS News that the officials in those emails were talking about a different case started before Eric Holder became Attorney General. And tonight they tell CBS News, Holder misunderstood that question from the committee - he did know about Fast and Furious - just not the details.

(never heard of Lamar but...) Go, Lamar!
Oh, OK. “[sob]I’m so sorry[sob]I didn’t mean to...[sob]get caught”
Among the sheeperals, the whole point of BEING a liberal is to feel good about yourself as a good person.
They get really mad at “buzz killers” like us pointing out where the policies they support actually harm people.
Exactly! ;-)
Repeating in case anyone missed this.
Drudge has three links to CBS stories on F&F now.
Ok, here’s the situation...
Will Holder:
(a) resign before the election???
(b) be prosecuted and convicted of perjury, in time, before the election???
(c) be Fort Marcy Park’d???
(d) accept the offer from Anthony Weiner to be his VP on the democratic ticket for 2012...

— Any way you look at it, this is going to be one of those long drawn out win-wins for the Republicans...If they don’t screw it up...
All the more ammo for the democrats to try to put up a ticket other than Obama/Biden soon...
Maybe in the next month or so we’ll find out...
Shocking that a charter member of the MSM is actually pursuing Holder. The reporter is a black belt (according to a bio I read) and should be able to handle herself, but sooner or later the big wigs at CBS will shut her down. Does Ailes know about her?
Briefed, hell. There is no way this wasn’t cooked up in the highest levels of the administration, from Obama on down. They were looking for a way to disarm the public so that their thug army would be unopposed. This was just one small part of that.
>>You know if holder goes, the bummer will not go with him.<<
I respectfully disagree. There is no more room under the barry bus — it won’t fit one more body.
holder and barry are joined at the hip, knee and elbow. If older goes down, barry goes with him.
I am stocking up on champagne, whiskey, popcorn and assorted appetizers to watch every second of their joint “death spiral” (career and politics, for lurkers...).
Anderson Cooper had this on CNN tonight, including an interview with Issa.
