Attorney General Eric Holder, in his most forceful comments to date about the gunrunning probe known as "Fast and Furious," defended himself Friday in a letter to Congress and accused his Republican critics of making "irresponsible and inflammatory" claims.
The Justice Department released the letter late Friday. It was addressed to top Republican and Democratic lawmakers, and comes in the wake of GOP calls for a special counsel to be appointed to investigate Holder's involvement.
Republicans have released routine memos that appear to show Holder was notified about details of the program as early as summer 2010, though he testified to Congress that he only found out in early 2011.
Holder stood by his claims in the letter.
"I have not spoken at length on this subject out of deference to the review being conducted, at my request, by our Department's Inspector General. However, in the past few days, the public discourse concerning these issues has become so base and so harmful to interests that I hope we all share that I must now address these issues notwithstanding the Inspector General's ongoing review," he wrote.

This is so disgusting....I can’t think of a punishment bad enough to fit Holder’s crimes and lies.
This isn’t 1811 or 1911.
Today there are too many ways to track communications.
holder will be fried for his lies, IMO.
“The mills of the Gods grind slow but they grind exceedingly fine”, at least I hope they do in this case.

Hey, if was good enough for Stalin...
Waco and Elian Gonzalez, yes. Along with the Marc Rich pardon.
But Holder had nothing to do with Ruby Ridge, which was a George H.W. Bush administration miscarriage.
Lets get it right...
The adults are talking —mind your place:

So...as Reno’s Number 2 at Justice at the time, do you really THINK Holder had no place in the events at Waco?
You believe that? That’s ridiculous.
No one thinks Reno held the match, but does this vitiate Reno’s role at Waco...? Why NO ONE thinks that..!
Holder was Janet Reno’s right-hand man...!
Note:
1. Holder was also behind Clinton pardon of Marc Rich, who gave the space technology to China that radically upgraded her ballistic missile tech (they later threatened to nuke Los Angeles)
2. Holder was also behind the pardon of the Puerto Rican terrorist group, the Boricua Popular Front, which had a long history of violence & stole millions (in NYC or Connecticut or somewhere back east)
3. In private practice Holder defended some Colombian terrorist groups, but that was at least 10 years ago, IIRC
The ONLY good legal action Holder ever took was to represent the NFL’s actions against Vick after he fought and killed those dogs.
That’s it.
Eric Holder DESPISES the USA, and he has made that the focus of his ******ENTIRE LEGAL CAREER****.
He has made his clear entrance into the mind of Joe Q. Public only recently, but he has been at this a VERY LONG TIME.
see my post immediately above.
He also shut down an investigation into Acorn, and New Black Panther voter intimidation case. He came from a law firm that represented terrorist in Gitmo
...This is so disgusting....I can’t think of a punishment bad enough to fit Holder’s crimes and lies....
Oh I can, turn him over to the Zetas, they know how to take care of their enemies
on another note will Obama or Holder be visiting Mexico roon to give tell tehir lies and excuses there? Methinks not.
caution very grossly graphic blog del narco-shows the violence in Mexico -an everyday event.
Holder is a racist, a bastard and one of the arch-henchmen in the Chief Criminal - Barrack Obama’s - political crime machine.
He and Obama should be impeached and sent to Leavenworth for their crimes.
Speaking of Hillary, make her produce a piece of paper that gives ATF the permission to “export” those weapons to Mexico. There has to be a paper trail of that. Make the State Dept cough it up. If it’s all above board, there should be no problem.
There’s a slew of questions for Big Sis too..... and the FBI..... we’re just getting started!
He is committed to his 4 page letter. It will be dissected and vivisected....and any incongruities will be there for all to see. Holder, by his nature, is hubretic and a liar and an intriguer. This will make it interesting.
(attorney) Holder sure is stupid and reckless....maybe he has a fool for a lawyer...
That's what I want details on.
Thanks for posting it. Early on page four I couldn't help but imagine a sweating Holder rolling a couple of steel balls, staring hard at the picture in his mind of his dismal future as he dictated this letter.
Obama - Hillary
