EXCLUSIVE: House Republicans are going to call for a special counsel to determine whether Attorney General Holder perjured himself during his testimony to the House Judiciary Committee on Operation Fast and Furious, Fox News has learned.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith, R-Texas, is sending a letter to President Obama arguing that Holder cannot investigate himself and will request a probe by a special counsel.
The question is whether Holder committed perjury during a Judiciary Committee hearing in May. At the time, Holder indicated he was not familiar with with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives program known as Fast and Furious.
However, a newly discovered memo dated July 2010 shows Michael Walther, director of the National Drug Intelligence Center, told Holder that straw buyers in the Fast and Furious operation "are responsible for the purchase of 1,500 firearms that were then supplied to the Mexican drug trafficking cartels."
In response to the Monday release of that and other documents, the Justice Department said Holder was confused by the question, and that he was answering about when he first learned of the "troubling tactics" of the program, not the name of it.
But House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., told Fox News on Tuesday morning that Holder saying he didn't understand the question rather than he didn't know of the program is not a successful defense to perjury.

If Boehner had any balls, it would be Gerald Walpin who was the IG that was fired by the regime for ratting out Kevin Johnson (former NBA player and Sacramento Mayor) for corruption.
It's OK for Democrats to commit perjury--the Clinton impeachment trial in 1999 showed that.
So did the French...
And MO’s americorps ties involvement and corruption that was found by IG Gerald Walpin.Instead Obama fired him to cover it up.
I wonder if Janet Reno is available?
Correct, but the bummer will not go down with the place holder.
Holder will resign around the Christmas {err Ramadam} holiday.
You can show him this.
Even though CBS and sipsey street bloggers reported and broke this story it has gone on and on unchecked.And you are correct the media will villianize whatever special prosecutor they can to protect they’re ideals which are also shared with Obama. On another side note:the infamous UMan and the coveted INSIDER series I always thought was as bogus as hillbuzz.The insider stories have been taken down Ulsterman is gone and there is a goofball article that he was proved as a fake and that he and the insider were cought red handed by Obama.It is weird.Anyone know the story t the disappearance of ulsterman?I am not giving creedance to him I am just curious.This series always said if Holder is fired/impeached/removed/forced to resign than Obama’s protection crumbles.
We all know what that means, Holder goes under the bus sooner than later and no Special Counsel as Bambi would get taken down. The sooner Holder goes the more it is a distant memory come Nov. 2012.
This is the most corrupt Administration in the history of the USA.
Accuracy matters.
It was Sarah Brady and it was “...under the radar.”

“My point being, these people are all scum. No one is EVER held accountable.”
Holder’s army, the New Black Panthers, will join the occupy wall street idiots IF Holder even gets busted.
It’s bad either way.
A proctologist???
Fine!
Bring it!!!
I’m getting old and I don’t want to leave with ALL this unsettled.
Let’s get it over with....once and for all!!!!!
Ulsterman moved all of his content to his own website. He is no longer on that newsflavor site.
I’m not going to post a link because those stories aren’t welcome here. I understand because the credibility is lacking. Just do a search and you will probably find it.
I read a really great review on this book last night. It was an amazon review .
Was that you that posted about it last night on another FR thread ?
