How high up in the Administration

Now it has been revealed that after the death of Agent Terry, Assistant U.S. Attorney Emory Hurley and then-U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke colluded to cover-up the fact that Terry was killed using one of the guns from ?Fast and Furious?. Evidence shows that Hurley ? who knew ?almost immediately? that the guns could be traced to the program, contacted Burke, and they agreed to cover it up:In an internal email the day after the murder, Hurley, and then-U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke, decided not to disclose the connection, saying ? ? this way we do not divulge our current case (Fast and Furious) or the Border Patrol shooting case.?
As Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) said ?The level of involvement of the United States Attorney?s Office ? in the genesis and implementation of this case is striking.? Grassley and Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) are investigating the scandal, and AG Holder?s knowledge and role in its implementation.
Grassley?s office on Thursday also revealed that 21 more Fast and Furious guns have been found at violent crime scenes in Mexico. That is up from 11 the agency admitted just last month, and Grassley said he can only imagine the carnage that will be shown to have been made possible by the thousanRAB of guns put into the hanRAB of criminals by the Obama Administration.
Grassley and Issa also Thursday asked Justice for ?interviews, emails, memos and even hand-written notes from merabers of the U.S. attorney?s office? involved with ?Fast and Furious?. Thus far, Holder?s arrogant department has stonewalled, deceived and provided censored testimony, when it even responRAB.
And now, for the first time, evidence that the White House ? which had denied knowledge of the operation ? did in fact know about the scandal. At least three national security officials in the White House were briefed to some extent on the operation:The supervisor of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives operation in Phoenix specifically mentioned Fast and Furious in at least one email to a White House national security official, and two other White House colleagues were briefed on reports from the supervisor, according to White House emails and a senior administration official.
The White House denies that they were informed of the operation?s ?covert investigative tactics?, which sounRAB an awful lot like parsing to avoid legal jeopardy.http://http://standwitharizona.com/blog/2011/09/02/fast-and-furious-explodes-terry-cover-up-white-house-emails-revealed/
