Things began unraveling for Holder when Issa referred to some 5,000 documents that were mostly e-mails. But Issa raised a curious point: Not one of the e-mails was from Holder. He posed this question:
Don't you think it's a little conspicuous...that there's not one e- mail to or from you related to Fast and Furious in any way, shape or form?
A bit later in the hearing, Franks came back to that issue and it was then that Holder admitted that materials dated later than Feb. 5 of this year…
“…have not been produced and it is not our intention to produce them…”
Throughout the investigation, reams of documents have surfaced, some provided by the Justice Department and others produced by whistleblowers and confidential informants. There have been countless e-mails released as attachments to letters written by Issa and/or Senator Charles Grassley, who is also investigating Fast and Furious. Several of those e-mails show redacted recipient addresses, suggesting that someone who did the redacting decided that those concealed identities did not need to become public.
This raises a serious question: Why not?
Thursday’s Judiciary hearing opens a new avenue for the investigation that may zero on the “conspicuous absence” of any Holder e-mails in documents provided to Issa’s investigators.
Yeah. Impeachment and other charges. Which makes me wonder what and who- besides his own ass- Holder's trying to protect; he knows the chance of them backing off is very low, so is he just desperate enough to hope, or...
