Through his spokesperson Adam Jentleson, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, the Nevada Democrat, expressed his confidence Wednesday evening in Attorney General Eric Holder, in the wake of Operation Fast and Furious.

Reid’s statement supporting Holder comes on the heels of statements from House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Democratic National Committee chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz supporting the attorney general.

Rather than answer a press request from The Daily Caller, however, Jentleson sent an unsolicited email to BuzzFeed.com editor Ben Smith.

Jentleson did not immediately respond to a request asking why he chose to provide his answer to TheDC’s question to another publication, but it may have been related to DNC spokesman Brad Woodhouse’s decision to leak TheDC’s emailed questions on the same subject to BuzzFeed and the Huffington Post.

Woodhouse ignored TheDC’s press request for several days before TheDC gave him a deadline of 10 a.m. Thursday for an answer. Rather than answering, Woodhouse leaked the emails to other journalists.

The DNC accused TheDC of “blackmail” for saying it would report on Wasserman Schultz’s failure to support Holder if Woodhouse ignored the deadline and did not answer the question.

The first media outlet to have reported the DNC’s political attacks on TheDC was BuzzFeed.

Of course the TOP DEMS BACK Eric Holder. If he goes down, so do they.

Reid’s statement supporting Holder comes on the heels of statements from House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Democratic National Committee chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz supporting the attorney general.

Birds of a feather flock together. I can't think of 3 more dishonest people in government than this group. JMO

They are all stepping in to back Holder because it is OBVIOUS to any American with a brain, and should be to any law enforcement officers, that Barack Obama knew about and fully supported Fast and Furious.

Reid, Pelosi, and Wasserman-Shultz all want to draw fire away from Obama during the elections.

You nailed it, most corrupt anti-capitalist administration I've witnessed in my life time, even Nixon looks good compared to this bunch of radicals.

The DNC accused TheDC of “blackmail” for saying it would report on Wasserman Schultz’s failure to support Holder if Woodhouse ignored the deadline and did not answer the question.

Well now this part is interesting, they didn't say "lied about" so that would mean Wasserman doesn't support Holder! So the head of the DNC doesn't support Holder! Hmmm!
