Comment of the Day   
Five Things To Know About The Republican Witchhunt Against Attorney General Holder
primarily I find the willful ignorance and stupidity on display here stunning.
Operation Wide Receiver and Fast & Furious are two distinct operations. a fact even Eric Holder admits 3 minutes into this video "I am not trying to equate the two." who knew I'd agree on anything with Eric Holder in this matter? yet here Ian Millhiser continues to inflict this lie into the mix in order to change the subject and "Blame Bush."
as for evading DOJ law enforcement efforts... there was no effective law enforcement: the guns were sold, not really tracked, nor Mexican authorities informed. the point of the investigation is to discover who and how the disastrous Fast & Furious operation was authorized, developed and conducted.
but I guess truth is overrated when partisan hackery proves all-consuming.
