Fast and Furious Really Means Wide Receiver
CNSNews.com) Attorney General Eric Holder claimed during congressional testimony today that internal Justice Department emails that use the phrase Fast and Furious do not refer to the controversial gun-walking operation Fast and Furious.They refer to, umm, something else entirely. Under questioning from Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), who read excerpts of the emails at a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Justice Department oversight, Holder claimed that the phrase Fast and Furious did not refer to Fast and Furious but instead referred to another gun-walking operation known as Wide Receiver. Which really refers to Lying Weasels. However, the emails refer to both programs -- "Fast and Furious" and the "Tucson case," from where Wide Receiver was launched -- and reveal Justice Department officials discussing how to handle media scrutiny when both operations become public. Who ya gonna believe? Eric Holder or those Lying Weasel emails? Among three of the emails the second, dated October 17, 2010 11:07 PM, was sent by Deputy Assistant Attorney General Jason Weinstein to James Trusty and it states: Do you think we should have Lanny participate in press when Fast and Furious and Lauras Tucson case [Wide Receiver] are unsealed? Its a tricky case, given the number of guns that have walked, but it is a significant set of prosecutions. In other words, we gotta cover our asses and blame Bush.
