Attorney General Eric Holder’s Department of Justice dumped documents related to Operation Fast and Furious on congressional officials late Friday night. Central to this document dump is a series of emails showing Holder was informed of slain Border Patrol agent Brian Terry’s murder on the day it happened – December 15, 2010.
An email from one official, whose name has been redacted from the document, to now-former Arizona U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke reads: “On December 14, 2010, a BORTAC agent working in the Nogales, AZ AOR was shot. The agent was conducting Border Patrol operations 18 miles north of the international boundary when he encountered [redacted word] unidentified subjects. Shots were exchanged resulting in the agent being shot. At this time, the agent is being transported to an area where he can be air lifted to an emergency medical center.”
That email was sent at 2:31 a.m. on the day Terry was shot. One hour later, a follow-up email read: “Our agent has passed away.”
Burke forwarded those two emails to Holder’s then-deputy chief of staff Monty Wilkinson later that morning, adding that the incident was “not good” because it happened “18 miles w/in” the border.
Wilkinson responded to Burke shortly thereafter and said the incident was “tragic.” “I’ve alerted the AG [Holder], the Acting DAG, Lisa, etc.”

One word will identify Eric Holder: Perjurer
When will he be indicted!
I don’t think Holder will ever be indicted. Obama has been in office 3 years, he has committed several impeachable offenses, yet the GOP still will not even consider the possibility of impeachment. Both Holder and Obama should have been removed from office when Obama instructed Holder to stop enforcing the “Defense of Marriage Act”. That was a valid federal law approved by both houses of Congress and signed into law by the sitting president. Obama and Holder both took an oath to enforce the laws, and they do not have the authority to decide which laws they like or which laws they don’t like.
He is the last line of defense for Pres. B. H. Obama….and he is going nowhere as long as B.H.O. is in office.
Nor are the New Black Panthers (his private army), Leon Panetta, etc.
Not only should he be removed from USAG but should go to trial on several chargers. His entire staff should resign in disgrace. Since Obama pushed him through the vetting process ‘Obama should also be charged with treason..Where in the Constitution say the President is above the law.
