A Fast & Furious fib - Holes in Holder’s testimony?

It’s not the crime, it’s the coverup, goes the old Washington cliché. In the case of the Fast and Furious gun-walking scandal, it’s both.

As Attorney General Eric Holder gets ready to face more congressional grilling Thursday, something’s clearly rotten at the Justice Department. The stench goes all the way to the top — to Holder.

Friday, the feds disclosed documents that show that despite Holder’s claim during congressional testimony that he’d only learned of F&F “a few weeks” earlier (a claim later amended to “a couple of months”), he has known (or should have known) about it all along

That information came in a series of e-mails in which the former US attorney in Arizona, Dennis Burke, discussed the F&F’s first fatality, agent Brian Terry, with a Holder deputy. The e-mails were sent in the early hours of Dec. 15, 2010, the day Terry died of wounds received the day before in a shootout 18 miles inside the US border, near Nogales.

The deputy, Monty Wilkinson, responded: “Tragic. I’ve alerted the AG.”

.... That’s right. The government’s top law-enforcement officer has been turning a blind eye to a cancer in his department for more than a year.

Holder's not "the top."

Issa just put up a "Fast & Furious" website. Here's the link:

Fast & Furious Website

I don’t know who’s idea this was, but it is fabulous! It gives the American people a place to go without having to rely on the d@mn media for info. All the info will be in one place. The Key Players & Places link is great - has charts (and you can print/tweet/FB them - LOL!). I know heads are exploding at DOJ & the WH .... what a weapon for truth & transparancy. Issa is taking no prisoners .... he’s just launched a heat-seeking missile at Holder & his lying.

Yes, sure makes you wonder what Holder has on our Mulatto Mussolini.

There has never been a lack of space under the Obama Bus.

The difference is Republicans resign; Demonrats keep lying and stay in their positions.

Eric Holder is a racist...probably 200 Mexicans dead from these weapons and he could care less.

I’m not for illegal immigration, but shooting Mexicans is definitely WRONG!
