Issa: Fast and Furious Was a 'Breach of Trust' by DOJ Leaders


House Republicans seized on a report on a law enforcement operation that allowed guns to illegally flow into Mexico as an example of failures at the Justice Department.

The report issued yesterday shows a “breach of trust” by those involved in Operation Fast and Furious, including law enforcement and Justice Department officials, said House Oversight and Government Committee Chairman Darrell Issa at a hearing today in Washington.

Issa said his committee will continue to pursue its investigation, including a civil complaint filed in August seeking to compel Attorney General Eric Holder to release documents sought by the panel.
Issa criticized Holder for waiting to discipline employees involved in the operation and said 14 officials referred by the inspector general for possible disciplinary action should “find appropriate new occupations.”
