Gunwalker’s “Dirty Dozen”

Sipsey Street Irregulars has the latest on Gunwalker:

Below is the transcript of a letter sent yesterday and released late this afternoon from Senator Grassley and Congressman Darrell Issa to Eric Holder. In it, they name twelve senior DOJ officials, past and present, who were “unquestionably aware of the implementation of this reckless program” (Fast and Furious).

They’re requesting communication records “between and among these senior officials”.

“These records should include e-mails, memoranda, briefing papers, and handwritten notes. Additionally, any records related to communications referring to a large firearms trafficking case within the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) or in Phoenix should be included in any production.”

1. David Ogden, Former Deputy Attorney General;

2. Gary Grindler, Officer of the Attorney General and former Acting Deputy Attorney General;

Issa and Grassley swiftly responded to the DOJ’s Fast and Furious head fake: It’s almost unbelievable that Holder and Co. would be so bold in the face of this growing scandal…

I’ll repeat that last bit for you:

“Through Senator Grassley’s office, Fox has obtained a number of internal ATF emails that seem to suggest that ATF agents were counseled to highlight a link between criminals and certain semi-automatic weapons in order to bolster the case for a rule like the one that the DOJ announced , yesterday.”
