Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA) questioned Attorney General Eric Holder on what he knew and when he knew it, regarding Operation Fast and Furious and Project GunRunner. In the video you will see Holder stutter, and stutter again, and again, and then claim he can’t hear/understand the question. Can’t wait for body language guru Tonya Reiman to analyze this one, but then it really doesn’t need analyzation. But the big news is that Issar told a CNS new reporter that he believes there is a DOJ coverup and he believes Holder knew much earlier than he testified to. See the video and Holder balk at about 1min-04 secs-in.
Issa pointed to two things he says indicates a Justice Department cover up. First, he cites a letter that Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich, head of the Justice Department’s office of legislative affairs, sent to Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Feb. 4, 2011. Issa characterizes that letter as a “lie.”
Secondly, Issa says the Justice Department made excessive and unjustifiable redactions in documents it provided to his committee.
Additionally, Issa says he does not believe Attorney General Eric Holder testified accurately in the Judiciary Committee on May 3, when he told Issa (who also serves on that committee) that he had only learned of the gun-running operation—called “Operation Fast and Furious”–a few weeks before that.
Note: at 1min-58 secs-in, you hear Issa interviewing with the CNS reporter, and you hear that Issa believes there is a coverup. See links below the video for background on this lethal government program.

Our elected representatives have been corrupted at every level. We need to clean house and in some cases prosecute individuals. Currently, the corruption is to widespread to take any action.
Way off subject…..is it just me or does Holder look too much like Oprah’s man Stedman??? Things that make ya go hmmmm…..
Oh the scum that is the right. Stutter? What is your level of education? Holder was being measured in his response. You can get jail terms if you lie to these morons.
That give you the context. Now simple as you are, pay attention!
The primary question from Issa WAS AMBIGOUS! Seriously? You think this is news worthy? I’d suggest you get back to your ‘bibles’ [not the BIBLE], your guns and your cross burning. Clearly this are issues that are way above your pay grades.
Nincompoops! Now watch them stifle my freedom of speech by making certain this never sees the light of day. Know this. I have the record. No. Your IT dept. if they are anything like you are woefully incompetent and wouldn’t be able to reassure you there is no way i can present proof that i posted, where i posted, what i posted [verbatim], from where i posted. Sheeeeeeesh. I’m truly ASHAMED of this cross section of my country men. The same country that put a man on the moon. The same country that neutralised Bin Ladin after years from you scum of ‘cut and run’. Trully ashamed of the simpletons that are running amock amongst you.
Okay Ginger whatever you say. ,,l,,
Well you’re using a shotgun when you need a rifle, while I can understand the basics of a few of a things you are saying, it’s not new. The Special Forces commander after bin laden wrote Kill bin laden and did an interview on 60 Minutes on how he was handicapped and of course the Jawbreaker: The attack on bin Laden and al-Qaeda: A personal account by the CIA’s key field commander. Gary Berntsen makes me wonder how bad they wanted bin laden. Oh well, as the Nidal Hasen case proves we are too PC to recognize a threat when we intercept his emails to an Jihadist instigator. But we didn’t racial profile him. I am sure the Fort Hood dead are resting easy.
