Fast & Furious: President Still Likes Holder; Others Troubled

President Obama today maintained that he has "complete confidence" in Eric Holder.   "Obama said Holder has “indicated that he was not aware of what was happening in Fast and Furious. Certainly, I [Obama] was not [aware].”"

DOJ continues to obfuscate, claiming again that Holder didn't know about F&F, didn't know that Brian Terry had been killed, didn't know that gun were allowed to walk.  Pick your poison at this point:  1) Holder is so disconnected from his job that he shouldn't be doing it, or 2) Holder is lying.

Today, more documents were released that show Holder received detailed briefings in 2010 about F&F and 1500 guns in the straw purchase pipeline.   From Daily Caller:  "In summer 2010, Holder received briefing memos from National Drug Intelligence Center Director Michael Walther on July 5, July 12, July 19, July 26 and August 9. Each briefing memo contains the name “Operation Fast and Furious.” Each memo also contains a description of what appears to be how Operation Fast and Furious was conducted."

Meanwhile Congressmen Blake Farrenhold and Raul Labrador (ID) have called for Holder's resignation.  And Congressman Paul Gosar (AZ) is saying that the DOJ is no longer representing the rule of law in the U.S.  Many are calling for a Special Prosecutor to be appointed, as long as DOJ doesn't do the appointing.

And the Mexican Attorney General has announced that Mexico feels "betrayed" by F&F.
