House Republicans Request Special Counsel to Probe Holder on 'Fast and Furious'
EXCLUSIVE: House Republicans are calling for a special counsel to determine whether Attorney General Eric Holder perjured himself during his testimony to the House Judiciary Committee on Operation Fast and Furious.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith, R-Texas, was sending a letter to President Obama on Tuesday arguing that Holder cannot investigate himself, and requesting the president instruct the Department of Justice to appoint a special counsel.
The question is whether Holder committed perjury during a Judiciary Committee hearing on May 3. At the time, Holder indicated he was not familiar with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives program known as Fast and Furious until about April 2011.
"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," Holder testified.
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."
Other documents also indicate that Holder began receiving weekly briefings on the program from the National Drug Intelligence Center "beginning, at the latest, on July 5, 2010," Smith wrote.
"These updates mentioned, not only the name of the operation, but also specific details about guns being trafficked to Mexico," Smith wrote in the letter to Obama.
Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, added that months before Holder testified -- on Jan. 31 -- he came to Grassley's office, where Grassley gave him a letter detailing the investigation of Fast and Furious.

It seems obvious, that Eric Holder is the "Attorney of Generalities" by his testimony of: "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," Holder testified. My response to Eric's testimony is this:
"People have become accustomed to speaking in generalities...Meaning: They choose to Not communicate in a specific, definitive manner. This has resulted in multiple interpretations, meanings and large scale confusion. It also results in arguments and wasted litigation, even violence. It also promotes more indecision and inaction. Then along comes the ugly word "Responsibility".... Because?
The word "responsible" cannot be used when the conditions or circumstances are not specified or defined.
Therefore, as long as someone speaks in generalities?
They are not "responsible" and they are not accountable."
Ya know?
What I should have added to the above?
"That sometimes lying dishonorable Mother Feckers speak that way on purpose."
Old Pudfark sez: " Eric Holder is Obama's appointee and responsibility.. "
