Darrell Issa Was Briefed on 'Fast and Furious' in April 2010, But Raised No Objections

Issa claims the Wapo story is bunk:

and he makes a good point:


“They seem to be drastically shifting their stories, even if the story they’re telling now is just another lie,” Hill said. “For months, they’ve been asserting that they had no knowledge that this was ever happening. Now, it seems like they’re radically trying to change that and assert that not only were they aware of this, but that they were telling members of Congress all about this.”

How could it be possible that neither Holder knew about it:

Asked in May when he learned of Operation “Fast and Furious” and “Project Gunrunner,” Holder claimed he ‘probably’ learned of it ‘over the last few weeks.’

Or the president:

Under fire for an operation that allowed smuggling of U.S. weapons across the nation’s border with Mexico, President Obama said in an interview that neither he nor Attorney General Eric Holder authorized the controversial “Operation Fast and Furious.”

and yet the congress had been briefed on all the gory details and didn’t object? The story isn’t close to plausible. Once the debt limit fight is over I would expect this story to take up most of the airtime on the cable new stations. We have 2 dead federal agents, at least 1500 guns put out on the streets illegally, and an unknown number of dead civilians. People are going to lose their jobs over this and some need to be going to jail.
