House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa (R.-Calif.) told CNSNews.com in an interview that he believes the Justice Department is covering up information relevant to a congressional investigation of an operation in which the department knowingly allowed intermediaries of Mexican drug cartels to purchase guns at licensed firearms dealers in the United States and then get away without being arrested or the guns being retrieved.
Last December, two of those guns ended up at the scene of the murder of a U.S. Border Patrol agent who was killed by alleged agents of the Mexican drug cartels.
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 Departments 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.

Sad, but true.
Holder should NOT be permitted to allow the head of ATF to shoulder all the blame for this operation.
It must have been known to and approved by Holder as well as his Marxist Muslim boss in the White House.
Holder, resign now!!
Then send his butt off to the Fed Prison in Marion, IL., where even JOHN GOTTI had to pay 'protection' from getting more beatings from 'Holder's People'. The Teflon Don, the head of the Gambino Crime Family for Pete's sake, 'had to pay' the Aryan Brotherhood $50K a year so they'd watch his back. And Gotti was in solitary for 23 hours a day!
I wonder how Holder would handle that? His DoJ sent a lot of 'His People' there for drug dealing. I think they just might hold a grudge.
>Correction: Operation Fast and Furious. The Dems want you to get the two mixed up.<
We can call it whatever they would like.
i want to see Holder, Napalotano and Obama go to jail for the murder of a US boarder patrol Agent because of politics.
They deserve to be tried for treason, they aided narco terrorists. A threat to our netional security and they armed them.
Yes, Issa does represent his people...you’d be surprised how many conservatives live in Cali.
Government abuses like THIS are another reason why all Americans must now put our 2nd Amendment FIRST!!
