Eric Holder Will Man Up Today…No, Not Really

Posted on by

This morning, Eric Holder will sit down with senators in a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, regarding Fast and Furious. No doubt this will be a much more friendly conversation than next month’s hearing in the House. I’m not saying serious questions won’t be asked today, but I suspect that liberals posing questions will throw soft pitches.

We already have some indication of Holder’s stance going into this hearing as his prepared opening remarks are available.

Documents and emails now show that Holder was aware of the operation which allowed weapons from the U.S. to “walk” into the hands of Mexican drug cartels 10 months before his testimony.

Holder’s exact quote, when pressed was that he had “probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks.”

In fact, a memo from the Director of the National Drug Intelligence Center, Michael Walther, informed Holder that straw buyers in Operation Fast and Furious “are responsible for the purchase of 1,500 firearms that were then supplied to the Mexican drug trafficking cartels.”
