You can read a PDF of his letter about Fast and Furious here.
Frederick R. Hill, spokesman for the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, responds:
If Attorney General Holder had said these things five months ago when Congress asked him about Operation Fast and Furious, it might have been more believable. At this point, however, it’s hard to take at face value a defense that is factually questionable, entirely self-serving, and a still incomplete account of what senior Justice Department officials knew about gun walking.
So, is Holder's contention that he is terminally incompetent - since all these things happened on HIS watch, and this is not the first time he has claimed to have had no knowledge of malfeasance done in his name? Either way, he needs to be held accountable.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseThat's it in a nutshell. The longer version is 1) Bush did it 2) it's Arizona's fault and 3) it's Republicans in Congress fault because they won't act responsibility to give these guys different laws to enforce so ATF had no choice but to break actual existing laws.
Buried in all this is a repeated admission that the Operation parameters were entirely wrong and it should never have been approved.
