Issa Confirms Fast & Furious Wiretaps

House Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Darrell Issa has confirmed that wiretap applications reveal in-depth detail on the Fast and Furious operation, including evidence showing that “agents were well aware that large sums of money were being used to purchase a large number of firearms, many of which were flowing across the border.”

Roll Call reports today that Issa released details concerning the wiretaps in the House. His disclosure is protected by the Speech or Debate Clause in the Constitution, which offers immunity for Congressional speech on the floor.

According to Darrell Issa’s letter sent to Maryland Democrat Rep. Elijah Cummings on May 24, not only did ATF officials know about the purchases, they oversaw activity by straw purchasers and ended their surveillance without interdicting the guns.

“Although ATF was aware of these facts, no one was arrested, and ATF failed to even approach the straw purchasers,” Issa’s letter states. “Upon learning these details through its review of this wiretap affidavit, senior Justice Department officials had a duty to stop this operation. Further, failure to do so was a violation of Justice Department policy.”

As we noted on June 22, Obama lied to the American people on March 23, 2011, when he said that neither he nor Attorney General Holder authorized the effort to arm the drug cartels in Mexico. Several weeks later, on May 3, Holder lied to Congress. He said he did not know who approved Fast and Furious. He also lied when he said he “probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks.”

Issa talks about contempt and criminal case against Holder.

On Thursday, House Republicans held Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress. The House made the historic move after Holder refused to divulge additional documents on the gun-running operation and Obama invoked executive privilege in an attempt to block the request for more information.

White House spokesman Jay Carney said during a press conference aboard Air Force One on Friday that Obama’s executive privilege assertion makes the contempt citation and any criminal investigation irrelevant.

The weapons were responsible not only for the murder of federal agent Brian Terry, but also countless Mexicans caught up in the drug cartel war.

Members of Terry’s family have accused the Obama White House of “lying” and “hiding something.”

On Friday, a news article on the wiretap applications was posted on the Roll Call website. Roll Call, however, was down and we found the story on a blog, Martinez Reports. We have posted the article here.

The left seems to think the article from Fortune Mag will set Holder free. There were many holes in, but they think they have struck gold.
