DOJ dodges, won’t say when Holder knew of border guard’s death

A document the Department of Justice sent to Congress Friday shows that Eric Holder’s deputy chief of staff was made aware on the day of U.S. border Patrol Agent Brian Terry’s murder that a weapon traced back to Operation Fast and Furious killed him. But when asked Sunday, a Justice spokesperson would not would not answer The Daily Caller’s question about whether Attorney General Eric Holder himself was informed of the connection.

The documents sent from the DOJ to congressional officials Friday night included a series of emails between former Arizona U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke and Holder’s then-deputy chief of staff Monty Wilkinson. Those emails show Wilkinson, a senior Holder aide, knew on December 15, 2010 – the day Terry was killed — that the weapons used to murder him were provided to a Mexican gang by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

On that day, records show, Burke wrote to Wilkinson that “[t]he guns found in the desert near the murder[ed] BP officer connect back to the investigation we were going to talk about — they were AK-47s purchased at a Phoenix gun store.”

The emails also show that Wilkinson “alerted” Holder of Terry’s death on that day. They do not, however, show whether he told Holder that Operation Fast and Furious had provided Terry’s killer with the means to murder him.

“we were going to talk about “

I think that part of the sentence will protect the higher-ups.

'... and the mess grew so big, so great and so tall, there was no way to clean it. No way at all.'

... so Janitor Holder, projecting ahead said
'I better cover for 0bama, or I'll end up dead'

... and so they proceeded to spin and delay,
the truth of who told who what, on that murderous day.

... before Issa he hem-hawed, and lied like a rug,
they would never get out of the hole they had dug.

Thanks for that reminder. Many folks seem to forget or are unaware of Jaime Zapata’s untimely demise as a result of this diabolical operation also.
