Morning Examiner: Obama vs Issa previews Obama’s second term

On February 4th, 2011 the Obama Justice Department sent a letter to Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, denying that the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms had been facilitating the sale of guns to Mexican drug cartels through the Fast and Furious program. Ten months later, the Obama DOJ admitted that letter was false.

On May 3, 2011, Attorney General Eric Holder testified before Congress that he “probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks.” Confronted with emails showing that this testimony was false, Holder claimed he misspoke saying, “I should probably have said a couple of months.”
