VIDEO: Holder downplays Fast and Furious as not ‘important,’ walks out on reporters
The Daily Caller ^ | 10/11/11 | Matthey Boyle

Although several members of Congress have now called on Attorney General Eric Holder to resign over Operation Fast and Furious, he appeared to dismiss the congressional investigation into the program as not “important” when reporters asked about it on Tuesday.

“We have sent thousands of pages of documents,” Holder said in response to a question about whether he’ll be complying with new subpoenas expected to be heading his way this week. “We’ll look at the subpoenas. I’m sure we will undoubtedly comply with them.”

“But what I want the American people to understand is that in complying with those subpoenas and dealing with that inquiry, that will not detract us from the important business we have to do here at the Justice Department, including matters like the one that we have announced today,” Holder continued.

When a reporter followed up and asked the Attorney General if he knew about the “controversial tactics” employed in Fast and Furious, Holder refused to answer and walked off the stage.

His big worry isn’t the subpoena business or a potential US investigation into this....it’s the worry that Mexico just might bring charges up and demand the US hand the top five guys who were planning and in control of the operation. The President will have to dream of a huge pay-off...just to prevent the Mexican government from ever going this far. If I were one of the top five guys in the Fast and Furious operation....I’d get a tent and just hustle up to Idaho to hide out for ten years.

Holder reminds me of the arrogant lawyer who sued himself to prove how great a litigator he was... and lost!

Holder and Janet Reno could overcome their obvious shortcomings and become the NEW Abbott & Costello and head for Hollywood.

The current explanation going around for Holder’s excuse for not reading his emails & reports is that he is either blind, never learned how to read or is just plain stupid!!!

“not important”

Yep, and Watergate was nothing more than a third-rate burglary.

The phrase is "distract" us, not "detract" us, you ignorant POS.

Your intellect detracts from the average IQ of the human race and your pathetically obvious attempt to distract everyone from examining Fast & Furious has failed.

Got it now, Rat Face? And the next time you have a sit-down in the Oval Office please say hello to Dumbo for us.

Just stop asking me and Obama questions, will you. We are trying to fundamentally change this country, and if a few dead mexicans get in the way, its not a big deal. Well just chalk it up to collateral damages. Remember our motto which all socialist democrats govern by “THE END JUSTIFIES THE MEANS”

I'm sure Mrs. Brian Terry, his parents and his kids think its important. Not to mention the families of the other two hundred + who have been murdered as a result of Holder and the Obozo’s actions. Obviously there is no proof but this FF program sounds like something the devious George S. would spawn.
