Fast and Furious: Eric Holder’s bizarre House Judiciary testimony

by John Hayward

Attorney General Eric Holder attended hearings into Operation Fast and Furious by the House Judiciary committee on Thursday. His testimony brought one major breakthrough: it turns out he doesn’t hate David Axelrod’s guts after all. There have been accounts that Holder nearly came to blows with President Obama’s top political advisor, but Holder told House Judiciary they have a “great relationship,” and he doesn’t think Axelrod has ever “done anything that I would consider inappropriate.”

Whew! Glad we got that out of the way! In other news, U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry is still dead because of Operation Fast and Furious. The Attorney General still maintains he and his top deputies didn’t know anything, can’t remember anything, and have no intention of complying with lawful subpoenas from Congress. Holder acknowledges that he’s only turned over 7,600 of the 140,000 Fast and Furious documents he’s sitting on, and that’s about as good as it’s going to get.

This did not sit well with the clearly exasperated Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), who is chairman of the House Oversight Committee, and the lead House investigator into Operatin Fast and Furious. “You’re not a good witness,” Issa snappedScissors-32x32.png

Boehner’s office: Politico report wrong, Issa leading charge against Holder

Matthew Boyle

Politico reporters Jake Sherman and John Bresnahan reported inaccurate information about the coming contempt of Congress proceedings against Attorney General Eric Holder over Operation Fast and Furious, a spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner told The Daily Caller.

 

Late Monday, Sherman and Bresnahan wrote: “Even as Speaker John Boehner said Monday that the DOJ is ‘out of excuses,’ his staff and the Justice Department are continuing informal discussions. Those talks haven’t yielded any progress, and Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa is planning his contempt vote for June 20 in committee.”

“There is no daylight between the House Republican leadership and the Oversight Committee on this issue,” wrote Steel. “We are all committed to holding the Department of Justice accountable.”
