Holder requests Fast and Furious docs from Issa, Grassley for ‘independent’ investigation
Daily Caller ^ | 8/17/11 | Matthew Boyle

The Department of Justice says its Office of Inspector General is conducting an independent investigation into the gunwalking Operation Fast and Furious, which Congress is already probing. Attorney General Eric Holder requested a transcript of Sen. Chuck Grassley and Rep. Darrell Issa from their secret July 4th meeting with Ken Melson, acting Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives director. Holder and other DOJ officials have repeatedly said the DOJ’s Inspector General is doing its own internal investigation into what went wrong with Fast and Furious.

They should send redacted versions of any requested documents. Redacted in spades.

Holder is looking for an already prepared hit list. There will probably be a series of unexplained single car accidents and some suicides, etc., from this. Clinton showed the way and a Communist is only too happy to follow profitable leads.

Looks like Holder is worried about what was divulged in the secret meeting?

Holder is more concerned about who did the divulging and what other names were given so they can be preemptively "persuaded" to silence.

That’s a good plan. But I worry that without a Special Prosecutor, Holder and a whole lot of FBI and BATF agents will not go to jail which is really needed to start cleaning up those cesspools.

Since Issa has Holder in his sights and the DOJ has already been implicated, this request is akin to having a murderer ask the AG for all the information he has on a murder, before charges are filed. If Issa gives up the goods, you know this has all been kabuki theater.

Where is the guy the Clinton’s used—Sandy Berger—who stuffed documents into his pants & removed them from official files???

Holder needs to be answering for this mess.

Issa needs to hold the line against Holder.

Issa should just tell Holder that since none of “his people” testified, he’s not going to provide diddly squat.
