CNN's John King plays Holder's testimony to Congress on MAY 3, 2011, where he said he had only just recently heard about the Fast & Furious gunrunning program. "I'm not sure of the exact date, but I probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks," Attorney General Eric Holder said.

Then CNN compares Holder's testimony to what President Obama said in MARCH to CNN Espanol about the operation. "I heard on the news about this story that -- Fast and Furious, where allegedly guns were being run into Mexico, and ATF knew about it, but didn't apprehend those who had sent it." Transcript of the segment that aired on "John King USA" below:

"We're still working on gun control, but we have to do it under the radar."

[P8riot]

No $h!t he knew.

[WOBBLY BOB]

He's been channeling Nostrildumbass to see the future.

[Iron Munro]

Tell us, Mr. Attorney General, what didn’t you know and when didn’t you know it?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Can you say NAILED?!

[American Constitutionalist]

So now ? Obama now admits it, and now he not only incriminates himself in lying, he incriminates Holder.
So now ? we have on record that Obama himself knew about Fast & Furious and they both lied to Congress about it.

Obama self incriminates himself in this admission.

To late to plead the 5th .

I love that Graphic!

"We're still working on gun control, but we have to do it under the radar."

Seems no one with half a brain (i.e. Dems/Libs) is able to put 2 and 2 together when that quote is mentioned.

[SeaHawkFan]

Define”a few.”

The linked article doesn’t provide the exact date of Obama’s March comment.

So, if obama sated he knew about it, can we get him on being complicit in the murder of all who have been killed by those weapons?

President Obama said in MARCH to CNN Espanol about the operation. "I heard on the news about this story that -- Fast and Furious, where allegedly guns were being run into Mexico, and ATF knew about it, but didn't apprehend those who had sent it."

Obama is noting that he'd heard about it on the news, as distinct from being officially informed about it through government reporting channels. Now we are supposed to assume that Obama would hear about this on the news, and yet have no curiosity about what was going on in his own administration.

1993 - Branch Davidians - Waco, TX
2009 - Border Agent Brian Terry - Baja, AZ

Both events were part of a plan to show the need for more gun control.

Q: What do these two events have in common?
A: Eric Holder & Hillary Clinton

"...Obama would hear about this on the news, and yet have no curiosity about what was going on in his own administration."

Bingo. That is totally unfathomable and indefensible.

[mcshot]

Get ready for a “wag the dog” from this..............!

[NormsRevenge]

Holder BUSTED by O! 8-|}

See the video for dates.

[Arrowhead1952]

Rush played the clips on his show today. You know a lot of people heard 0 bummer say that he told holder about it earlier than “a few weeks ago” as he said before congress in May.

Damn,...you just destroyed my concentration...
