Newly obtained Justice Department
<http://topics/department-of-justice/>memos show that Attorney General
Eric
H. Holder Jr. <http://topics/eric-h-holder-jr/> was told about the
controversial "Fast and Furious" weapons investigation as early as July
2010, apparently contradicting testimony he gave before a House
committee<http://topics/house-committee/>in May saying he learned of
the operation just weeks earlier.
A July 10, 2010, memo to Mr. Holder <http://topics/eric-h-holder-jr/>
from Michael
Walther <http://topics/michael-walter/>, director of the National Drug
Intelligence Center <http://topics/national-drug-intelligence-center/>
(NDIC<http://topics/national-drug-intelligence-center/>),
specifically identifies the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and
Explosives-led
Fast<http://topics/bureau-of-alcohol-tobacco-firearms-and-explosives-/>and
Furious operation, says when it began, names the federal law
enforcement
agencies involved, and identifies the major investigative targets.
The memo, sent to Mr. Holder <http://topics/eric-h-holder-jr/> through the
office of the acting deputy attorney general, also notes that the operation
involved a Phoenix-based firearms-trafficking ring and says "straw
purchasers" were responsible for buying 1,500 firearms "that were then
supplied to Mexican drug-trafficking cartels."
The Walther memo also says the straw buyers had direct ties to the Sinaloa
drug cartel, "which is suspected of providing $1 million for the purchase of
firearms in the greater Phoenix
area<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_metropolitan_area>."
A straw buyer is someone who purchases a weapon for someone who is unable to
buy it himself.
The memo, first reported by CBS News <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CBS_News>,
prompted calls Tuesday from Capitol Hill Republicans for a special
prosecutor and led the White House <http://topics/white-house/> to claim Mr.
Holder <http://topics/eric-h-holder-jr/> misunderstood the questions, rather
than lied, during the May congressional testimony.
His comment came in response to a question from Rep. Darrell E.
Issa<http://topics/darrell-e-issa/>,
California Republican, who has been investigating the operation for several
months and had asked the Justice
Department<http://topics/department-of-justice/>on several occasions
without success for more information.
"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," Mr.
Holder<http://topics/eric-h-holder-jr/>testified.
