AG Eric Holder: "Today’s vote is the regrettable culmination of what became a misguided and politically-motivated investigation during an election year. By advancing it over the past year and a half, Congressman Issa and others have focused on politics over public safety."
Holder also makes this outrageous claim:
"When concerns about operation Fast & Furious first came to light I took action,and ordered an independent investigation into what happened. We learned that these flawed tactics used in this operation began in a previous administration, but I made sure that they ended in this one."
See the discussion starting at 2:37, particularly at 3:00. After grilling by Senator Cornyn, Eric Holder admitted that the two programs were quite different on very important grounds.
3:31 AG Eric Holder: Senator, I have not tried to equate the two. I have not tried to equate "Wide Receiver" with "Fast and Furious."
Holder then goes on to admit the two programs are quite different.
Holder's statements in press conference after House's contempt vote contradict his statements last December to the Senate
