The Hill Reports: Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) said Friday that unlike some other Republican lawmakers, he’s not calling for the resignation of Attorney General Eric Holder in the wake of a botched weapons sting.
“The fact is it’s not about any one person … it’s about a failure that seems to be pervasive within Justice. That investigations play fast and loose with the expectations that of what is right or wrong when it comes to, I’m going to use the word, collateral damage,” said Issa at a breakfast hosted by The Christian Science Monitor Friday.
As chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Issa has been leading an investigation for the past nine months into “Fast and Furious,” the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’s (ATF) botched gun-tracking operation that might have contributed to the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.
