More F&F Coverup Released

[Mike]

In a letter Tuesday, Iowa Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley pressed Attorney General Eric Holder for details about a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives memorandum that indicates his Department of Justice may have tried to cover up the gunwalking tactics that were at the heart of Operation Fast and Furious.

Gary Styers, an ATF special agent in the Lubbock, Texas field office, wrote what Grassley described as a "Fast and Furious memorandum" on Feb. 3, 2011. In it, Styers described how two investigators for Grassley's Senate Judiciary Committee office had contacted him the day before about the Fast and Furious operation.

The memo described a specific operation in which guns were allowed to walk across the Mexican border. Grassley told Holder that "according to ATF personnel, the memorandum was discussed by high level ATF personnel and possibly forwarded to DOJ headquarters on February 3, 2011."

On Feb. 4 — one day later — Assistant Attorney General Ron Weich signed a letter to Grassley denying that guns were ever allowed to walk, including in Fast and Furious. The DOJ withdrew that letter to Congress nine months later, admitting that the statement was false.

"The possibility that DOJ was aware of this memorandum [the Styers memo] on February 3, 2011, and still sent the erroneous letter to Congress on February 4, 2011, raises more questions about DOJ's claim that faulty information from department components inadvertently led to the false letter," Grassley wrote to Holder.

"This was direct, documented information from street level agents in a far better position to know the facts than the senior supervisory personnel whom DOJ claims to have relied upon for information about the allegations."

Grassley wrote that he wants Holder to disclose the names of DOJ personnel who knew about the memo before Weich's letter made it to Congress on Feb. 4, 2011. He also said he wants to be sure the department has gathered and preserved all its records related to the memo, and he asked Holder if he would provide those records to Congress.

A sports star tells a Congressional hearing he didn't use steroids which would only have hurt him and he winds up on trial for lying with a possible sentence of jail time.

BUT this Obama appointed radical racist crook continuely lies and stonewalls a Congressional Hearing from getting at the truth about a Border Agents death due to guns the DOJ allowed to walk into a foreign country that is packed with criminals that are looking for ways to get into the US with their ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES and he is not even forced to resign so he can't stonewall other investigations. He should have been forced to resign when he dropped the clear cut vote intimidation charges on his buddies the Black Panthers but no he got away with that and it only embolded his racist activities as the US Attorney General. He is clearly a liar second only to his boss. :x
