The Justice Department's inspector general cleared Attorney General Eric Holder Wednesday of knowing about the gun-walking operation known as Fast and Furious that allowed thousands of weapons to cross into Mexico.
But Inspector General Michael Horowitz concluded that there were "serious failures" at both the Justice Department and its Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives going back more than six years, CBS Radio News reporter Stephanie Lambidakis reports.
Horowitz found that no one running the operations—not agents, nor prosecutors, nor managers—questioned the wisdom of letting guns vanish across the border with Mexico, where they ended up in the hands of drug traffickers. …
In his 471-page report, Horowitz referred more than a dozen people for possible department disciplinary action for their roles in Fast and Furious and a separate, earlier probe known as Wide Receiver, undertaken during the George W. Bush administration. …

He didn't know? He had constructive, if not actual, knowledge from the get-go!

Yep. Totally reasonable.
He received 7 memos talking about the operation by name. He just, uh, didn't read them. Right.
The Assistant AG, Deputy AG, Deputy Assistant AG, and Holder's own Chief of Staff were neck deep in this. But somehow AG Holder himself had no clue about it. Uh-huh.
How stupid do they think we are?!

Kind of funny considering Obama invoked Executive Privelege preventing Congress from gaining access to the documents.
