Fast and Furious: Holder's Smoking Gun

Regardless of what Obama knew and when he knew it, Attorney General Eric Holder is toast.   The only hope Obama has of surviving this during what promises to be a challenging election year is to throw Holder under the bus.   The new revelation on the paper trail is being reported by CBS News, so this can not be discounted as some right wing blogger throwing out unsubstantiated accusations.

"WASHINGTON - New documents obtained by CBS News show Attorney General Eric Holder was sent briefings on the controversial Fast and Furious operation as far back as July 2010. That directly contradicts his statement to Congress.

On May 3, 2011, Holder told a Judiciary Committee hearing, "I'm not sure of the exact date, but I probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks."

Yet internal Justice Department documents show that at least ten months before that hearing, Holder began receiving frequent memos discussing Fast and Furious."
