You can tell Attorney General Eric Holder​ is getting nervous about the Gun Walker investigation, because he’s sounding mighty defensive about it. Fox News reports:

On Wednesday, Attorney General Eric Holder said for the first time that not only he but also other higher-ups at the Justice Department were not aware of the operation as it was being carried out. Holder also suggested politics could be a driving force behind Republican lawmakers' forceful inquiries into the matter.

"The notion that somehow or other this thing reaches into the upper levels of the Justice Department is something that. ... I don't think is supported by the facts,â€

Scathing reactions to Holder’s try for distance from Fast & Furious

Attorney General Eric Holder’s attempt yesterday to distance himself from Operation Fast and Furious – the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ botched gun trafficking sting – has drawn blistering reactions on an ATF watchdog website, and from the U.S. Senator who has been investigating the scandal for the past eight months.

Northwest gun rights activists are following the Fast & Furious story at WaGuns.org, SeattleGuns.net, Northwest Firearms.com, GunRightsMedia.com and even Hunting-Washington.com. This column discussed allegations that the scandal reaches much higher than the ATF offices in Phoenix, from whence Fast and Furious was launched.

Holder, during a press conference covered by Reuters, Fox News and others, insisted:

“The notion that somehow or other that this thing reaches into the upper levels of the Justice Department is something that, at this point, I don't think is supported by the facts."

But Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA) who has been doggedly pursuing the truth about Fast and Furious in an effort to identify those responsible for the operation, which is linked to the slaying of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry last December 15, and hold them accountable, was not impressed. In a statement provided to this column and Gun Week, Grassley observed:

“We need to know exactly what happened and why. Then people need to be held accountable to make sure something so stupid never happens again.â€
