Issa: Heads should roll over 'Fast and Furious': The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform released a video today asking who should held accountable for "Fast and Furious," a scandalous Department of Justice operation that purposefully put assault weapons into the hands of Mexican drug lords and is now blamed for killing hundreds of people, including U.S. border agents.
The video takes hard aim at U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, who on May 3, 2011, swore testimony before the committee's chairman, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., that he had only heard of the operation "weeks" before.
Yet Issa and fellow watchdog Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, say they have a series of at least five weekly briefing memos from Michael Walther, director of the National Drug Intelligence Center, detailing the program to Holder and dating back to July 2010, long before the "weeks" in Holder's testimony.
In the video Issa alleges Holder either "misrepresented the facts, or he's sufficiently incompetent that he didn't know what was in his weekly briefings."
