Holder may have had fingers in 'Fast and Furious' for years
In May 2011, Holder told Congress, "I'm not sure of the exact date, but I probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks."
But on the video, dated March 24, 2009, some 26 months earlier, David Ogden, deputy attorney general, was talking about Barack Obama's orders to "fight" the Mexican drug cartels, using "Project Gunrunner."
"Attorney General Holder and I are taking several new and aggressive steps as part of the administration's comprehensive plan. Those steps include the following: DOJ's Drug Enforcement Administration, which already has the largest U.S. drug enforcement presence in Mexico with 11 offices in that country, is placing 16 new DEA positions in southwest border field positions .., uh, field operations, specifically to target Mexican trafficking and associated violence," he said.
"The DEA is also deploying four new mobile enforcement teams to specifically target Mexican methamphetamine trafficking both along the border and in U.S. cities impacted by the cartels," he continued.
"DOJ's bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is increasing its efforts by adding 37 new employees and three new offices, using $10 million in Recovery Act funds and redeploying 100 personnel to the southwest border in the next 45 days to fortify its Project Gunrunner, which is aimed at disrupting arms trafficking between the United States and Mexico," he said.
