Eric Holder Cleared in Fast and Furious Debacle




Eric Holder, the U.S. Attorney General, was cleared of all implications from the Fast and Furious scandal Wednesday. The Justice Department official appointed by President Obama had been accused of having prior knowledge of a botched gunrunning operation.

Eric Holder's innocence- or at least ignorance of the operation- was proclaimed by the Justice Department's Inspector General Michael Horowitz. His year-long investigation found that subordinates in the Office of the Attorney General did know of Fast and Furious, but that Holder did not.


"We found no evidence that Department or ATF staff informed Holder about Operation Fast and Furious prior to 2011," read the Inspector General's report. "Our investigation did not identify evidence that contradicted Holder's statements to us regarding his knowledge of Operation Fast and Furious and the use of 'gun walking' tactics in that investigation."


Holder had been lambasted by various Republican politicians for what they saw as hiding information from Congress and others seeking inquiries into Fast and Furious. President Obama's intervention- he used executive privilege to withhold 74,000 documents from Congressional investigators in June- only heightened the scrutiny surrounding Holder and the DOJ's role in the operation. Now that he has been cleared of wrongdoing, the Attorney General is essentially saying "I told you so."


"The key conclusions (of Horowitz's report) are consistent with what I, and other Justice Department officials, have said for many months now," Holder said in a statement. "The leadership of the Department did not know about or authorize the use of the flawed strategy and tactics; and the Department's leadership did not attempt to cover up information or mislead Congress about it."


Others are being held accountable for the gunrunning operation that led to an American life- U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian A. Terry- being taken. Kenneth Melson, the former Acting Director at ATF is retiring, as well as Deputy Assistant Attorney General Jason Weinstein. Finally, officials from ATF and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Arizona are also being reviewed.

Rightwingers are fucking cowards.

You couldn't start enough threads accusing AG Holder, but now that he has been vindicated you all hide like a bunch of pussies.

Vindicated? In other words, the man is so incompetent that he has no clue what is going on under his own nose. A competent president would have fired his incompetent ass from the get go.

Obama and Holder was not the originators of Fast and Furious. What is it about that do you not understand, Village Idiot? Fast and Furious originate with ATF in Arizona. Right wingers. Extension of Operation Widereceiver.

If radical right winger don't stop spinning, their heads are going to explode.

Romney will be uttering these words soon enough "Mr President, congratulations on your win."



the hysteria over the very real prospect of Romney/Ryan losing to Obama/Biden is leading the unhinged into a collective nervous breakdown

The chairman of a House committee investigating the Fast and Furious gunrunning operation praised a report by the Justice Department's Office of Inspector General on what went wrong in the bungled investigation

You people are an absolute scream!!! What a bunch of lunatics. This is what Romney supporters are like??? No wonder he's losing.

Follow the previous discussion people. What is wrong with the Tea Party and Right Wingnut thinking here

Not much a a fact checker are you? Fast and Furious program was started in October 2009.

Under the Bush Administration Operation Wide Receiver was flawed and was shut down in 2007.

IG report:

Another point on which Horowitz vindicated Democrats was that risky gun-walking experiments originated in the administration of Republican President George W. Bush when the department’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in Tucson, Ariz., launched Operation Wide Receiver. That operation in 2006-2007 resulted in the ATF losing track of 400 guns.

Gun-walking was an experimental investigative tactic, barred under longstanding department policy. ATF agents in Arizona allowed suspected straw purchasers, believed to be working for Mexican drug gangs, to leave gun stores with weapons in order to track them and try to bring charges against gun-smuggling kingpins who long had eluded prosecution, but they lost track of most of the guns.

Many on the right have retreated to the redoubt of paranoid non-reality; where everything that doesn’t conform to their contrived narrative of the Obama Administration is perceived as a ‘conspiracy’ and held as suspect, including fellow rightists.
