Attorney General Eric Holder claimed during congressional testimony today that internal Justice Department emails that use the phrase Fast and Furious do not refer to the controversial gun-walking operation Fast and Furious.Under questioning from Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), who read excerpts of the emails at a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Justice Department oversight, Holder claimed that the phrase Fast and Furious did not refer to Fast and Furious but instead referred to another gun-walking operation known as Wide Receiver.

(Im not sure how much grief we get for guns walking. It may be more like Finally, theyre going after people who sent guns down there.’)
First confirmation that Fast and Furious’s goal is gun grabbing. So basically Obama sacrificed some Mexican people (and one American) in order to eviscerate the 2nd Amendment. Since the media refuses to cover this outrageous scandal, I hope Romney is not shy to clobber Obama over the head with it.
The point of it all was that they could say "oh, I thought you were referencing different program, not this one" because of the slight variation of names....gun walking vs gun running etc.....

Annd back by popular demand, Holder lying, pants on fire:
Ehhh, I think we're gonna need a new word for this level of maroonness, Doc.
At the end of the hearing Sheila Jackson Lee (nice eye makeup, BTW) turned over an email, asking that it be added to the record - presumably intended to cover Attorney General Holder’s lie. I’m not sure exaactly what it was ...

Interesting poem; is it from somewhere or did you just make it up?
Just wingin’ it...........
I know most of us here were not exactly thrilled that Romney got the nod....But, remember....it to Ronald Reagan a while to get to be THE Ronald Reagan. It’s just a gut feeling, but I think old Mitt will rise to the occasion and go after things like F&F, etc. One can pray.
