Holder's Lies and Strategy to Get Out of the 'Fast and Furious' Mess -- BLAME BUSH!

November 8, 2011

Blame Bush!

It has been almost three years since President Obama and his administration took office, yet Obama still tries to blame Bush for the bad economy.

Now, Holder is following the same strategy to get out of the "Fast and Furious" mess.

"Fast and Furious," also called the "Gunwalker" case, involves the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATF) agents ordering American gun dealers to sell guns to obvious Mexican drug gang members during 2009 and 2010.

This was done over the objections of the gun dealers.

Both Fox News and the Washington Post started covering this scandal in early February this year.

It may be excusable that Attorney General Eric Holder did not read the press reports, but, if Americans are to believe his congressional testimony Tuesday, he and his staff also neglected to pay attention to the 100 or so page circulated "weekly reports" summarizing activity in the Justice Department.

Those reports began mentioning the operation as long ago as July 2010.

When Holder testified before the House Judiciary Committee in May this year, he claimed: "I probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks."

Holder reiterated again Tuesday that he simply didn't have the time to even read the summaries. Supposedly, neither did his staff.

Holder, "grasping at straws", had very few options today.

Even President Obama gave an interview in March where Obama specifically indicated that at that time, Holder knew about the operation.

With the president even on record saying that he knew about the operation before April, Holder sheepishly conceded Tuesday that he probably knew about the operation at least a month earlier than he had previously testified to Congress.

The Obama administration has also tried to show the practice originated in the Bush administration during 2006 and 2007 under operation “Wide Receiver.â€
