HOLDER LIED ABOUT FAST AND FURIOUS SCANDAL

Blistering Report Shows Eric Holder Lied About Fast And The Furious Scandal

While the networks and left-wing media were fully invested in the James Comey testimony, they conveniently let slip a damaging new report that implicates Eric Holder in the fast and the furious scandal. You may recall the gun-running scheme was meant to track guns going into Mexico. It ultimately failed and these weapons ended up in the hands of criminals and drug cartels. One of which was used in the murder of Border Patrol officer Brian Terry.

Bret Baier was one of the few journalists to report this news:

“An absolutely blistering report tonight out saying the Obama administration in general and former Attorney General Eric Holder in particular repeatedly lied to the family of a slain Border Patrol officer about the weapons used in his death, and stonewalled efforts to get at the truth,” announced Fox News’ Bret Baier on Special Report.

“Baier handed the segment off to Correspondent William LaJeunesse, who reported that “Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry died in December 2010, killed by guns tied to an Obama administration plan that armed Mexicans. A scandal officials tried to hide by wrongly claiming executive privilege.”

“’The [Justice] Department’s belated admission that those 64,000 pages were not privileged, puts the gold seal of authenticity on the House’s bipartisan vote to hold the attorney general in contempt,’ testified Senator Chuck Grassley at a hearing of the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday.”

Not only that, but Eric Holder called the family of Brian Terry a “nuisance” in released documents. Holder also claimed he did not know about the operation until after it had been implemented. We now know that is a lie:

“Holder told investigators he didn’t know of this program before Terry’s murder.

“But report authors say that’s just not true.

“’The new report states that the Justice Department knew before Terry’s death in 2010 that the ATF was ‘walking’ firearms to Mexico and knew the day after the agent’s death that weapons from Fast and Furious were involved in the shootout, despite denying these facts to the media,’ Fox News said.”

We knew Eric Holder could get away with this under the Obama Administration but we don’t know about Trump. We will have to wait and see.
