Holder Incompetent or Liable: Rep. Issa on claim he had no prior knowledge of Operation Fast and Furious


http://www.washingtontimes.com Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) discusses Attorney General Eric Holder's claim that he had no prior knowledge of Operation Fast and Furious, part of an anti-gun initiative known as "Project Gunrunner." The initiative allowed thousands of weapons to be purchased by "straw buyers" in Arizona and Texas and later "walked" unchecked to drug smugglers in Mexico. At least three of those weapons, including two AK-47 assault rifles, later were found at the site of separate shootings that claimed the lives of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agent Jaime Zapata, who was killed by Rejon Aguilar's Zetas, and U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian A. Terry.
