From Holder's rebuttal to his contempt citation today:
When concerns about Operation Fast and Furious first came to light, I took action – and ordered an independent investigation into what happened. We learned that the flawed tactics used in this operation began in the previous administration – but I made sure that they ended under this one. I also made sure that agents and prosecutors around the country knew that such tactics must never be used again. I put in place new policies, new safeguards, and new leadership to make certain of this – and took extraordinary steps to facilitate robust congressional oversight. Let me be very clear – that was my response to Operation Fast and Furious. Any suggestion to the contrary simply ignores the facts.
1. He can't prove any of that without releasing docs
2. If this were truly a Bush-era operation without any Obama WH engineering then Obama's claims of Executive Privilege are not valid; EP only covers advice for things Obama personally directs or deliberates.
