<\/p>\nRUSH: There were fireworks yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, in Washington. Darrell Issa\u2019s committee, House Judiciary Committee, they had Eric Holder up, and they\u2019re talking about Fast and Furious. And this is one of the exchanges between Issa and Holder.<\/p>\n
ISSA: I want to ask you, first of all, today, have you and your attorneys produced internally the materials responsive to the subpoenas?<\/p>\n
HOLDER: We believe that we have responded to the subpoena —<\/p>\n
ISSA: No, Mr. Attorney General, you\u2019re not a good witness. A good witness answers the question asked. So let\u2019s go back again. Have you and your attorneys produced internally the materials responsive? In other words, have you taken the time to look up our subpoena and find out what material you have responsive to it or you\u2019ve simply invented a privilege that doesn\u2019t exist?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
HOLDER: Well, we\u2019ve produced 7600 —<\/p>\n
ISSA: Look, I don\u2019t want to hear about the 7600.<\/p>\n
JACKSON LEE: Chairman, I would beg to allow —<\/p>\n
ISSA: The lady is out of order. Would the lady please —<\/p>\n
JACKSON LEE: Mr. Chairman, parliamentary inquiry.<\/p>\n
RUSH: That was Sheila Jackson Lee trying to protect Holder. He\u2019s not being responsive to the subpoena. He\u2019s not giving the committee what they\u2019ve asked for. He\u2019s stonewalling this Fast and Furious thing. And Issa, I have never seen him as loaded for bear as he was. This continued.<\/p>\n
ISSA: Isn\u2019t it true, Mr. Attorney General, that you\u2019ve not produced a log of materials withheld even though our investigators have asked for it?<\/p>\n
HOLDER: I know that — I\u2019m not sure about that. I know that the —<\/p>\n
ISSA: Okay. I\u2019m sure you didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Right. I\u2019m sure you didn\u2019t. And it continued, folks.<\/p>\n
ISSA: I appreciate that there was hostility between the attorney general and myself. It was produced by the with fact that I have a great many questions and a relatively little period of time in which to get answers.<\/p>\n
HOLDER: Well, I — with all due respect to Chairman Issa, he says there\u2019s hostility between us. I don\u2019t feel that. You know, I understand he\u2019s asking questions, I\u2019m trying to respond as best I can. I\u2019m not feeling hostile at all. I\u2019m pretty calm. I\u2019m okay.<\/p>\n
RUSH: Jason Chaffetz then chimes in.<\/p>\n
CHAFFETZ: Jason Weinstein sent an e-mail to James Trusty: “Do you think we should try to have Lanny participate in a press when Fast and Furious and Laura\u2019s Tucson case are unsealed? It\u2019s a tricky case, given the number of guns that have walked, but it is a significant set of prosecutions.” James Trusty sends back to Jason Weinstein, “It\u2019s not going to be any big surprise that a bunch of U.S. guns are being used in Mexico. Now, you claim with passion that nobody at the senior levels of the Department of Justice prior to the death of Brian Terry knew that guns were walking, and I\u2019ve got an e-mail from Jason Weinstein using the term “guns walking.” <\/p>\n
RUSH: Let me tell you what\u2019s going on here. You know, the purpose of Fast and Furious, one of the purposes was to get those guns across the border in the hands of Mexican drug cartels, have crimes committed, and then say, “We gotta do something about the Second Amendment. How do Americans guns get to Mexico?” Well, we got \u2019em there because we gave \u2019em. That was never supposed to be discovered. Now, the Second Amendment argument or rationale here goes to the motive for doing what Holder and the DOJ did. They wanted controversy around guns. They wanted American guns in Mexico, but the problem, they engaged in reckless tactics, and the pretext for allowing the guns to walk across the border was to be able later to trace them to crime scenes and then build a case against the Mexican drug cartels. <\/p>\n
All experienced agents who looked at this thought that it was insane because, A, there wouldn\u2019t be crime scenes unless we walk the guns across the border, and used in crimes. So we created the crimes by making the guns available, therefore we\u2019re contributing to violent criminality. And even if you trace the guns to the crime scenes that you create, you wouldn\u2019t cinch the case against these particular cartels because you wouldn\u2019t know for sure enough information to nail \u2019em. This was a disaster, and now that people are trying to get to the bottom of it the stonewall is taking place. And this was just part of it that you heard, the sound bites from yesterday between Holder and Chaffetz and Darrell Issa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
