Scandal: A major-league pitcher was indicted for lying to Congress about steroid use. Administration memos show Eric Holder lied about what he knew about Fast and Furious and when he knew it. What's the difference?
Somewhere, Scooter Libby must be scratching his head. He was indicted and convicted simply because his recall of when a meeting occurred differed from others. He didn't lie about a gun-running operation that led to the deaths of two American agents and at least 200 Mexicans.
But Attorney General Eric Holder did, according to memos obtained by CBS News and Fox News.
They show Holder lied to Congress on May 2, 2011, when he was asked about when he knew about the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' Fast and Furious gun-running operation. He told House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa he was "not sure of the exact date, but I probably learned about Fast and Furious over the last few weeks."
Holder learned of the operation as early as July 2010 in a memo from the director of the National Drug Intelligence Center informing him of an operation run by the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force out of the Phoenix ATF office, under which "straw purchasers are responsible for the purchase of 1,500 firearms that were then supplied to Mexican drug cartels."
On Oct. 18, 2010, one of Holder's chief deputies, Lanny Breuer, chief of the Justice Department's Criminal Division, told Holder in a memo that prosecutors were ready to issue indictments of a few gun traffickers involved in Fast and Furious.
A memo the day before from Deputy Attorney General Jason Weinstein to another lawyer in the Criminal Division, James Trusty, asked if Breuer should do a press conference when Fast and Furious became known.

Say..... on Devils Island.
“Nothing happened to any feds.”
Yes, but in all of your scenarios, no hispanics were involved in the tyranny. Now that 200+ hispanics have been killed, someone has got to go...
Question is will Holder just walk away quietly, or will he take Obama out with him?
From Justice to just-us!
This country has a history of dealing with Hubris, no matter its color!
Right. Who would indict him? With a corrupt DOJ and US attorneys, justice won't come through the system, at least during this Administration. Also, if Obama loses the 2012 election, he will pardon anyone who might be at risk.
Fine by me.
Artemus Gordon and James West escaped but, these intellectually fallow Tards aren’t going to pull a McGyver
I believe Obama will try and fight the indictment...but we shall see. Will Holder take down Hussein with him?
We have abject traitors...sappers within the perimeter...in the White House, Congress, DOJ, etc., etc.
2012 will be a year of reckoning...and should be considered the fight for our liberty and way of life that it is. I pray God it turns into a Yorktown.
On another topic...must see video that is going viral and needs to be seen and used by every red-blooded American in the 2012 election:
