Fast & Furious: Dennis Burke Thrown Under the Bus

In classic Obama Administration practice, Dennis Burke, the former US Attorney in Phoenix who was responsible for directing F&F, and who was allowed to resign with accolades from DOJ, seems to have been thrown beneath the wheels of the DOJ bus.  Another iteration of the "Friday Night Document Dump" occurred last night.  In it, DOJ seems to be setting Burke up as a fall guy for F&F, with accusations that he mislead his superiors about F&F.

Meanwhile, Eric Holder has sent a letter to the House Committee protesting that he only mis-spoke when he gave testimony last month.  He is asking to retract what he said because, while it wasn't correct, it really wasn't lying.
