(57,936 posts)Holder did not do anything wrong on this.
Bush started this thing, and Holder's department tried to end it, but according to Randi Rhodes, someone in Arizona did not follow Holder's program.
In my view, this really is a matter of national security, and Issa is in the wrong.
And by the way, other than prove beyond question that the excessively free flow of guns, an artificially created free flow of guns from another country, causes violence in a society full of drug cartels, it has nothing to do with American gun laws.
We are not (yet anyway) a society full of drug cartels and in no danger of being flooded with guns by some foreign country. Fast and Furious was conceived by people in the Bush administration (wouldn't you know it), and it certainly was not created to challenge the gun lobby.
