BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: We've got two Sharyl Attkisson bites. She was on CBS Early Show, and I can't find the transcript for number 19 but I'll be able to translate. Probably makes sense without the setup. Here it is.
ATTKISSON: I would say there have been some pretty incredible developments in the past week, also documents. We haven't even had time to report on all of them. They're very sensitive documents and allegations going around. Many of them we haven't reported yet because we need to get more confirmation of them, but what you see on the surface that we do report in our stories is really only a part of what may be going on and we may be reporting in the future when we can get confirmation.
RUSH: She's talking about Fast and Furious. The question: "Somebody like that at the level of the White House actually cursed at a reporter, a CBS News correspondent. It's not something that happens every day, Sharyl. What do you think lit that fuse?" She says there have been some pretty incredible developments. She's uncovering a lot of news the regime doesn't want reported. So then Chris Wragge, a coanchor said, "What made the president have to defend the attorney general yesterday?"
ATTKISSON: You go back to him testifying to Congress in May, the attorney general, he said he learned about Fast and Furious earlier in the spring, but this week, CBS News reported that new Justice Department memos show that Holder received regular briefings as early as July of 2010 -- and we'll be posting some more documents that also show then deputy attorney general Gary Grenler (he's now attorney general Holder's chief of staff) got a details briefing on the gun smuggling operation in March of 2010. He took handwritten notes. He marked up photographs of AK-47s and a map where he noted, quote, 'seizures in Mexico.' So this is why, um, you know, the Justice Department is having to push back a little bit and what the president was talking about."
RUSH: But Holder didn't know any of it. He had no clue. That's what he claims.
END TRANSCRIPT
I’m kinda shocked that she hasn’t been silenced yet.
“Somebody like that at the level of the White House actually cursed at a reporter, a CBS News correspondent. It’s not something that happens every day, Sharyl. What do you think lit that fuse?”

getting close.
Praying for her safety.
Me too! I guess CBS sees the writing on the wall.
Check the date and contents of this Holder speech;
Attorney General Eric Holder at the Mexico/United States Arms Trafficking Conference
CUERNAVACA, MEXICO ~ Thursday, April 2, 2009
SNIP;
” I would like to thank the Mexican and U.S. experts who have worked so hard on this issue. On our side, Secretary Napolitano and I are committed to putting the resources in place to increase our attack on arms trafficking into Mexico.
Last week, our administration launched a major new effort to break the backs of the cartels. My department is committing 100 new ATF personnel to the Southwest border in the next 100 days to supplement our ongoing Project Gunrunner, DEA is adding 16 new positions on the border, as well as mobile enforcement teams, and the FBI is creating a new intelligence group focusing on kidnapping and extortion. DHS is making similar commitments, as Secretary Napolitano will detail.

I hope she has bodyguards.
Question for the AG next time he testifies to congress: Mr. AG, on April 2, 2009 you made a speech and you referred to “supplement(ing) our ongoing Project Gunrunner”. Yet, later you claim you hadn’t heard of it until early 2011, nearly two years later. You, seemingly, were given several briefings on the subject in 2010 and clearly referred to it in early 2009. How can we ever believe anything you say and why haven’t you resigned in disgrace?
Yup! He’s screwed!
I saw her one BOR last night. She said they have more documentation that is damning to the administration. She says the information will not be released until “it is verified.” I kinda suspect they will never be released. I felt she was really tip-toeing in the interview.
Don’t worry, this isn’t Russia........bang...bang.
Let me modify that stat...........
Gunrunner isn’t the same as Gunwalker.
Operation has been officially renamed ‘GunSashayer’.
I’m still baffled by the way the program was started, drug gangs were allowed to buy lots and lots of weapons, then the follow-up part of the program was seemingly dropped. It is like our administration WANTED THESE drug gangs to have these weapons. Period.
Looks like
-someone was making lots and lots and LOTS of money off the sale of weapons and/or
-the end game was to arm the Mexican cartels with lots and lots of weapons for future border wars...perhaps?
bttt
CBS is probably keeping her at work on this so that if it blows up into something “serious” that can’t be brushed away they can say they were right on it from the beginning. Then they will try to take credit for “blowing this thing open.”
option 3: these weapons would be found conveniently at crime scenes in mexico and there would be “proof” of the drug gangs arming themselves due to the “lax gun laws” in the US and therefore tougher laws would be needed...
