Attorney General Eric Holder said Thursday guns from the botched Fast and Furious operation will continue to show up at U.S. and Mexican crime scenes “for years to come.”
“It is an unfortunate reality that we will continue to feel the effects of this flawed operation for years to come,” Holder said during his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee Thursday. “Guns lost during this operation will continue to show up at crime scenes on both sides of the border.”
“The president has said he has full confidence in this attorney general,” Issa said. “I have no confidence in a president who has full confidence in an attorney general who has in fact not terminated or dealt with individuals, including key lieutenants who from the very beginning had some knowledge and long before [U.S. Border Patrol agent] Brian Terry was gunned down, knew enough to stop this program.”
“Mr. Attorney General, the blame must go to your desk and you must today take the real responsibility,” Issa said.
