CONTEMPT! Eric Holder Claims Emails Using Words ‘Fast and Furious’ Don’t Refer to ‘Fast and Furious’ Scandal & Coverup

John Boehner needs to stop stalling, and hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt! Eric Holder needs to be held accountable to Congress and the American People for his stonewalling, deception, and lies, as well as for the active coverup of the “Fast and Furious” Gun Running Scandal!

Eric Holder is unbelievable! This corrupt loser should be in prison, instead of in a position of power in our government! Eric Holder has abused his power, time and time again, for political gain, and self preservation.

Unfortunately YouTube has removed these videos from their platform to hide the truth from the American People. Another coverup with the help of Google/YouTube.

Eric Holder is now trying to claim that emails that use the term ‘Fast and Furious’, and speak about ‘guns walking’ do not refer to the topic of investigation, which is the growing “Fast and Furious” Gun Running Scandal. Eric Holder is withholding documents that the investigation has asked for, and s either holding out while evidence gets scrubbed or destroyed, or until they have no other options.

One email read to Eric Holder directly speaks about ‘guns walking’ in Eric Holder’s “Fast and Furious” gun running scheme.
‘Do you think we should try to have Lanny participate in press when Fast and Furious and Laura’s Tucson case are unsealed?’

Even though the email specifically talks about “Fast & Furious”, Eric Holder claims that the email is actually about “Wide Receiver”, and ends the conversation with a statement that he has “superior knowledge”.

Holder: The email that you just read, now this is important, that email referred to Wide Receiver. It did not refer to Fast and Furious. That has to be noted for the record.

Chaffetz: No, it doesn’t. It says Fast and Furious. ‘Do you think we should try to have Lanny participate in press when Fast and Furious and Laura’s Tucson case are unsealed?’ It’s specific to Fast and Furious. That is not true, Mr. Attorney General. I’m happy to share it with you.

Holder: The Laura Tucson case refers to Wide Receiver —

Chaffetz: It says Fast and Furious. We’ll let the media have it and it’ll play out there.

Holder: Laura Duffy was not involved — Laura was not involved in Fast and Furious.

Chaffetz: The email says ‘Fast and Furious,’ you say it doesn’t I’ve got it in black and white.

Holder: I’ve got superior knowledge.

Attorney General Eric Holder claimed during congressional testimony today that internal Justice Department emails that use the phrase “Fast and Furious” do not refer to the controversial gun-walking operation Fast and Furious.

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.”

However, the emails refer to both programs — “Fast and Furious” and the “Tucson case,” from where Wide Receiver was launched — and reveal Justice Department officials discussing how to handle media scrutiny when both operations become public.

Among three of the emails, the second, dated “October 17, 2010 11:07 PM,” was sent by Deputy Assistant Attorney General Jason Weinstein to James Trusty and it states: “Do you think we should have Lanny participate in press when Fast and Furious and Laura’s Tucson case [Wide Receiver] are unsealed? It’s a tricky case, given the number of guns that have walked, but it is a significant set of prosecutions.”

In the third email, dated Oct. 18, 2010, James Trusty writes back to Weinstein: “I think so, but the timing will be tricky, too. Looks like we’ll be able to unseal the Tucson case sooner than the Fast and Furious (although this may be just the difference between Nov. and Dec).”

“It’s not clear how much we’re involved in the main F and F [Fast and Furious] case,” reads the email, “but we have Tucson [Wide Receiver] and now a new unrelated case with [redacted] targets. It’s not any big surprise that a bunch of US guns are being used in MX [Mexico], so I’m not sure how much grief we get for ‘guns walking.’ It may be more like ‘Finally, they’re going after people who sent guns down there.’” (See Jason Weinstein Email Fast, Furious.pdf)

Operation Wide Receiver was run out of Tucson, Ariz., between 2006 and 2007 by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), a division of the Justice Department.

In his testimony, Holder said that the emails only referred to Operation Wide Receiver.

Holder told the committee: “That refers to Wide Receiver, not to Fast and Furious. The e-mail that you [Rep. Chaffetz] just read [between Trusty and Weinstein] – now this is important – that email referred to Wide Receiver, it did not refer to Fast and Furious. That has to be noted for the record.”

Chaffetz, after a long pause, said, “No, it doesn’t. It says Fast and Furious. ‘Do you think we should have Lanny participate in press when Fast and Furious and Laura’s Tucson case [Wide Receiver] are unsealed?’ It’s specific to Fast and Furious. That is not true, Mr. Attorney General. I’m happy to share it with you.”

Operation Fast and Furious was carried out by the ATF. It began in the fall of 2009 and continued into early 2011, during which time the federal government purposefully allowed known or suspected gun smugglers to purchase guns at federally licensed firearms dealers in Arizona. The government did not seek to abort these gun purchases, intercept the smugglers after the purchases, or recover the guns they had purchased.

In some cases, as the government expected they would, the smugglers delivered the guns to Mexican drug trafficking organizations. Two rifles sold to a smuggler in the course of Operation Fast and Furious in January 2010 ended up at the scene of the murder of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry in December 2010.
