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

That's a pretty limited mandate.

Who's investigating the whole enchilada?

Once the special counsel gets appointed they can investigate anything they want.

I am sure that Obama will try to nominate a pet investigator but they tend to get off the leash. Prosecutors love to prosecute and their power and influence grows as they dig deeper and expand the investigation beyond the original scope. I still think that Holder should be held in Contempt of Congress and put in jail for lying to Congress (the house can do this on its own). That way he will be in jail and have a harder time impeding the prosecutor.

After the wonderful job she did on the 9/11 cOmmission, my guess would be Jamie Gorelick.

Exactly. How about a special prosecutor for the whole F & F gunwalker thing? Including who in the WH knew and/or was directing/authorizing criminal activities.
