Holder: No coverup in 'Fast and Furious,' no effort to hide details of the operation

Attorney General Eric Holder vigorously denied a "cover-up" by the Justice Department over "Operation Fast and Furious," telling a House panel investigating the botched gun-running program that he has nothing to hide and suggesting the probe is a "political" effort to embarrass the administration.

"There's no attempt at any kind of cover-up," Holder told lawmakers well into a hearing about whether he had been forthright in responding to requests of the House Oversight and Government Relations Committee led by Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif.

"We're not going to be hiding behind any kind of privileges or anything," he said.

The hearing came after Issa and Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, his Senate partner in the probe, asserted that top Justice officials are covering up events surrounding the flawed gun-smuggling probe.

When Holder shitcans all morons that started, aided and abetted "Operation Fast and Furious," I'll take what he has to say seriously.

The only thing coming from you is blah, blah, blah, Grassley & Issa, blah, blah, blah, GOP/NRA douchebags, blah, blah, blah...

When he starts answering questions and stops hiding behind "the probe is a "political" effort to embarrass the administration." then maybe I'll believe him.

""There's no attempt at any kind of cover-up," Holder told lawmakers"

Yet the evidence points that there IS an attempt at a cover-up. Like Holder knew about the death of agent Terry right after it happened.
