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.

Wow. Are you for real?
So - you don’t think we should have prosecuted Clinton. You obviously disagreed with his impeachment.
And now? Now you think we should ignore Fast and Furious?
Because if we pursue this... it will only benefit “Hussein’s worshippers” and “Big Media”?
And no. You were not in before the Ken Starr posts. Scroll up. I am on record of calling for another Ken Starr.
The Clintons sure did and he was the man with the files!
Actually, this is what even many dems wanted to happen to Holder. A small window opens up if he resigns and that is being counted on.
Get under the bus Holder. Can’t wait for O’bummer to try to extend executive privilege.
oh. fitzmas again :(
It’s the only way to avoid a mega scandal in an election year. Still, the investigation will need to continue. People died because of this, it’s far worse than anything Clinton ever did.
All the republican candidates for president should be given a memo to ask in live interviews why their network has not investigated or reported on such a compelling news story. Put THEM on the spot and force the media on camera to directly confront the issue. Don’t answer any questions from the media until they answer our questions.
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Well, there was the Gorelick "Wall" erected to protect Slick. We all saw the unintended consequence of that.
My point being, these people are all scum. No one is EVER held accountable.
Fixed that for ya.
The window that their looking to be opened at the DOJ is to pull as much as possible to get barry with.
Adams has witnessed firsthand how the DOJ is aggressively executing a radical, race-based, left-wing agenda through its policies and employees.
After watching the DOJ continually turn a blind eye to voter fraud, blatant racism, and voter rights abuses, he finally blew the whistle during the New Black Panther case – a case that Adams brought to the DOJ's attention and ultimately resigned over because of the corruption and perjury he witnessed leading up to and following the case's orchestrated dismissal.

For being the smartest people on the planet, these libs sure do misunderstand &/or misspeak a lot, don't they?!
