In May, AG Eric Holder told Congress (uder oath) he had first heard about :Fast and Furious" only a few weeks ago

The spin now he Mr Holder did NOT read the briefings given to him

How many Obama supporters will buy that excuse?





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.

<!--pagebreak-->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.
