CBS News has learned Attorney General Eric Holder has agreed to appear before the House Judiciary Committee regarding "Fast and Furious." The hearing will take place Dec. 8th.
Judiciary Committee member and head of the House Oversight Committee Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) had requested that Holder appear, in part to dig deeper into when-he-knew-what about ATF's so-called "gunwalking" operation Fast and Furious.
In May, Holder testified that he only first heard about Fast and Furious a few weeks before. However, as CBS News reported, documents and memos indicate he had been sent multiple briefings mentioning Fast and Furious in 2010.
Holder later explained in a letter to Congress that he didn't read those memos, and that in any event, nobody at the Justice Department who knew of Fast and Furious was aware of the specific "gunwalking" tactics used.
Also today, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) requested a public hearing with the former Director of ATF: Kenneth Melson.
"A hearing with Mr. Melson would help the Committee and the American people better understand what mistakes were made in Operation Fast and Furious, how these tactics originated, who did and did not authorize them, and what steps are being taken to ensure that they are not used again," wrote Cummings in a letter today to Rep. Issa.

Yep, and shredders won’t help. This is a digital age scandal, and everything that was ever typed might be recovered and put in evidence. Anything. So denials will ring hollow in light of mountain ranges of evidence that shall come out.
Got to see Thirty Three!
Sorry for the double ping but there is some good, surprising new info on this thread. #33 and on down.

That's easy to do when you purposely make no effort at all to track them. At some point these reporters are going to have to face the fact that it has already been established beyond any doubts that this was the case. We have field agents under oath saying that they were begging for permission to interdict those guns and were ordered to stand down. Those depositions aren't going to go away.
Anybody want to bet we hear a 5th Amendment claim in there somewhere?
I get the feeling that Newell and O’Reilly are the nexus of the conspiracy, and I think both are proteges of the manly Janet Napolitano, the one who remembers nothing, but who put both in their roles.
Oh, what a twisted plot we weave, when first we practice to deceive. I am old enough to remember the judge saying that in Watergate.
And Gunwalker is a million times more evil than Watergate, that third rate burglary.
They UNEXPECTEDLY lost them. It was all so UNEXPECTED. LOL
With all the agencies involved that is an understatement not hyperbole in the least.
Computers and servers and cell phones, oh my!
We're not in Kansas the 1980s anymore, Dorothy.
I know I didn’t EXPECT it! LOL
Thank you. Web of utter deceit and arrogance going on here, not to mention contempt for the American People. Not to mention stupid.
How did they intend to keep this secret? WHAT is so important to this administration they felt they needed to continue this?
And this proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that this was NO ‘botched’ operation. Damn them!
