Firings and charges against the justice department officials who oversaw the agency's flawed gun-running operation are likely to come in the next six months, Attorney General Eric Holder said Thursday.

Holder was speaking before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to discuss the controversial sting operation called Operation Fast and Furious.

Asked what steps he had taken since the controversy came to light 13 months ago, Holder said he is awaiting the conclusions of an internal investigation.

Regarding people found culpable in that probe, he said, "I can assure you those people will be removed from federal service."

Any possible charges will not be filed until the department has the evidence to get a conviction, he said at the hearing.

I’ve read this example used, from Bengal - The Running Thief

A thief steals from a market - a typical open air market - and if he thinks someone might have noticed something wrong, he immediately yells “Thief! Thief!! He went that way, I see him!!” and starts running after the supposed thief, shouting and pointing.

Why? Holder, himself, said no one did anything wrong by illegally selling firearms and illegally allowing them to be transported to Mexico and killing Mexican and US citizens and federal agents. Why would Holder say this now?
