WH does Friday Night Fast-N-Furious Doc Dump
of course they withheld much more. These do show extensive back-and-forth. Holder must be fired and charged
Late Friday, the White House turned over new documents in the Congressional investigation into the ATF "Fast and Furious" gunwalking scandal.
The documents show extensive communications between then-ATF Special Agent in Charge of the Phoenix office Bill Newell - who led Fast and Furious - and then-White House National Security Staffer Kevin O'Reilly. Emails indicate the two also spoke on the phone. Such detailed, direct communications between a local ATF manager in Phoenix and a White House national security staffer has raised interest among Congressional investigators looking into Fast and Furious. Newell has said he and O'Reilly are long time friends.
Issa and Grassley are not gonna let this go
CBS makes it sound as if Newell and O'Reilly, being 'long time friends', were just catching up on family. In point of fact they were discussing F&F rather extensively. But you wouldn't know that from the CBS report.
