Have you considered that perhaps there are legitimate, classified reasons why the DoJ is keeping Mukasey's involvement out of it? There may be a bigger Pandora's Box concerning the Bush administration than the current administration wants to reveal. Obama has already protected many of them from prosecution for their war crimes and their criminal activity. Maybe this is a continuation of that protection.It's dated 2007 because that's when the program started, idiot.
The Washington Bullets changed their name to the Washington Wizards, but were still the same team.

Second retraction of Fast and Furious Assertions
Da: Wednesday, June 20, 2012
The Justice Department has retracted a second statement made to the Senate Judiciary Committee. During a hearing last week, Attorney General Eric Holder claimed that his predecessor, then-Attorney General Michael Mukasey, had been briefed about gunwalking in Operation Wide Receiver. Now, the Department is retracting that statement and claiming Holder inadvertently made that claim to the Committee. The Departments letter failed to apologize to former Attorney General Mukasey for the false accusation. This is the second major retraction the Justice Department has made in the last seven months. In December 2011, the Department retracted its claim that the ATF had not allowed illegally purchased guns to be trafficked to Mexico. Sen. Chuck Grassleys letter and the Departments response can be viewed here-1.
Grassley made the following comment on these developments.
This is the second time in nearly seven months that the Department has gotten its facts wrong about gunwalking. Attorney General Holder accused Attorney General Mukasey, without producing any evidence, of having been briefed on gunwalking in Wide Receiver. The case Attorney General Mukasey was briefed on, Hernandez, is fundamentally different from both Wide Receiver and Fast and Furious since it involved cooperation with the Mexican government. Attorney General Holders retraction should have included an apology to the former Attorney General.
