Eric Holder overlooks the rising death toll from Fast and Furious.
"Since the beginning of this investigation, we have followed the link
between Fast and Furious weapons and crimes committed on both sides of
the border. On numerous occasions we have asked the Department to keep
us apprised of Fast and Furious weapon recoveries -- especially as they
relate to violent crimes," Grassley wrote.
The letter details not only the killings reported last week, but murders uncovered by Univision in October 2012 and by CBS News in November 2012
linked to the weapons trafficked into Mexico during the operation. On
both occasions, one of which included the murder of a Mexican beauty
queen who was used as a human shield, Grassley pressed the Justice
Department for information.
"Despite our repeated requests, it has been over a year since we last
heard from the Department on this issue. The Department his from
Congress this recent internal trace record showing a link between the
murder of a police chief and Fast and Furious. Such actions do little to
promote trust between the Department and Congress, and only provide
further evidence that the Department is actively trying to conceal all
information pertaining to Fast and Furious from Congress," the letter
states.
