EXCLUSIVE: House Republicans are going to call 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, is sending a letter to President Obama arguing that Holder cannot investigate himself and will request a probe by a special counsel.
The question is whether Holder committed perjury during a Judiciary Committee hearing in May. 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.
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."
In response to the Monday release of that and other documents, the Justice Department said Holder was confused by the question, and that he was answering about when he first learned of the "troubling tactics" of the program, not the name of it.
But House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., told Fox News on Tuesday morning that Holder saying he didn't understand the question rather than he didn't know of the program is not a successful defense to perjury.

I wouldn’t say that the wheels are starting to come off on this corrupt administration’s F&F disaster —but I do sense that maybe some of the lug nuts are starting to get loose...we can only hope —and help spread the word to keep the pressure on this.
That comment scares me. Of course Obama ordered this. But WHY?
ASK WHY?
WHY would Obama risk his "Presidency" on dumping guns into MEXICO?
The answer will scare you even more.
It is the same answer to WHY he risked everything to illegally attack Libya. He seems to risk a lot to do things any rational person would find crazy. Is he crazy or is something else going on? The correct answer will get you extra credit.
The same reason Hitler risked his presidency staging a fake Polish attack on Germany.
It’s all about the power, and Obama is a tool of the forces for global government/caliphate working together for global domination.
Sometimes the forces of evil have to cause a “good” crisis to eliminate that pesky opposition to their nefarious plans.
