Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif.

Issa: 'Fast and Furious' subpoenas issued soon

October 10, 2011

(GunReports.com) -- The chairman of the House oversight committee said Sunday that he could send subpoenas to the Obama administration as soon as this week over weapons lost amid the Mexican drug war.

Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., suggested on "Fox News Sunday" that Attorney General Eric Holder knew about the gun trafficking operation known as "Fast and Furious" earlier than he has acknowledged.

"Why are they denying knowing about something that they were briefed on?" Issa said. "Exactly when, the American people want to know, how did it happen?"

Earlier this year, Holder testified to Congress that he hadn't heard about the operation until early 2011. On Sunday, Issa said, "That's just disingenuous on its face."

In a letter sent Friday to key lawmakers who oversee Justice Department issues, Holder said his testimony was truthful and accurate and said Republicans are engaging in political posturing when they say otherwise.

"Such irresponsible and inflammatory rhetoric must be repudiated in the strongest possible terms," Holder said.

The sooner, the better. Maybe the subpoenas will get us an independent prosecutor. The further down we get in this barrel, the worse the rest of the fish stink.

I'd guess that subpoenas are the next logical step in the process of eventually assigning a special prosecutor to investigate this mess. With the arrogant posturing that we are seeing coming from Eric Holder, I am reminded of the same sort of behavior that was exhibited by then Attorney General John Mitchell as he repudiated the issues associated with the Watergate scandal during the Nixon years.
