IG Horowitz exonerated Holder on the basis of personal interviews. To paraphrase Strangelove:
Horowitz: I said lie to me, Eric—and you lied to me.
Horowitz had evidence that Holder was lying, but he bought the lies anyway.
The Inspector Generals Exoneration of Eric Holder

Much of the media has moved quickly to close the books on Attorney General Eric Holders role in the Fast and Furious scandal, based on this weeks report from the Justice Departments Inspector Generals office, headed by Michael E. Horowitz.
But for many others, the 471-page report is nothing more than an effort by an employee to exonerate his boss.
Regarding the so-called watchdog report, GOA Executive Larry Pratt told CBN News, The wolf has reported from the chicken coop that theres nobody here but us chickens. (Click here to see the interview in its entirety.)
Some Inspector Generals and special counsels in the past have shown rare courage in challenging superiors who have the capacity to destroy their careers. Sadly, Inspector General Horowitz does not appear to be one of them.
Gun Owners of America has focused, in particular, on the pathetic two-paragraph conclusion concerning Attorney General Eric Holder [on page 453] and have examined its validity — based on the extensive knowledge and participation of Gun Owners of America, as we have helped unearth this scandal.
The Inspector General (IG) exonerated Holder, not based on what the Attorney General knew or should have known or what he constructively knew or on what information was provided to him.
Rather, Holder was vindicated based on his ability to misstate facts so effectively there was little to nothing for the IG to pin on him.

Hi.
Does anyone remember that shortly after 0bama was sworn in, the first news conference he held was with Hillary (SOS), and Holder regarding the weapons going to cartels, and they were going to stop it?
They blamed all the guns in America for the problem.
An attempt on the 2nd Amendment it was.
