Holder admits Axelrod, White House helped Justice Dept craft Fast and Furious public relations

Attorney General Eric Holder admitted on Thursday that President Barack Obama’s chief campaign strategist David Axelrod and the White House are helping the Department of Justice craft its messaging about Operation Fast and Furious.

“We [Holder, Axelrod and the White House] have certainly talked about ways in which we could deal with the interaction between the Justice Department and Congress — about ways in which we would,” Holder said in questioning before the House Judiciary Committee.

Virginia Republican Rep. Randy Forbes pressed Holder further by asking him if Axelrod, Obama’s re-election campaign and the White House were involved in crafting the DOJ’s policy for dealing with press. He said they were. “In terms of trying to get any message out that was consistent with facts and make sure it was done in an appropriate way, I’ve had conversations like that with people in the White House.”

On Fox now.

Holder is a sack of lies. This is the eighth time Holder has appeared in front of the committee on the gun running scandal.

He is still withholding documents and information.

Holder/Hillary/Obama were all in on a plan to “prove” that drug cartels were getting their guns from US sources. Americans died as a result of their scheming.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the near fight these two men had?
