The New York Daily News reports on new emails released from an apparently defiant Eric Holder
Newly released emails show Attorney General Eric Holder said that Justice Department prosecutors who were critical of the department’s handling of the fallout of the Fast and Furious gun-walking scandal could “kiss my ass.”
Operation Fast and Furious was a botched effort by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to track firearms across the Southwest border. Revelations about it created a political firestorm, leading to congressional investigations and turnover within the ATF and Justice Department.

"with guns from our country. All they want to do — in reality — is cripple ATF, suck up to the gun lobby. Maybe the media will get it.”

Yes, it’s a shame how the media is never on this administration’s side.
