Holder: "Fast & Furious" is Not "Fast & Furious"

House committee schedules contempt vote against Holder

Issa expects 31 Dems to join.

Holder: "Fast & Furious" is Not "Fast & Furious"

Should the Attorney General "run guns" to Mexico that leads to the death of an American border patrol officer? Why or why not?

Under questioning from Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), who read excerpts of the emails at a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Justice Department oversight, Holder claimed that the phrase “Fast and Furious” did not refer to Fast and Furious but instead referred to another gun-walking operation known as “Wide Receiver.”

This came not long after a tense confrontation between Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) and Holder as lawmakers attempted to keep the heat on Holder and his administration.
