BREAKING

White House dumps 500 plus pages of documents tonight! Emails from Burke to Holder's office regarding Terry murder and Fast & Furious weapons?

Sipsey Street Irregulars has learned that the Department of Justice, at the direction of the White House, has dumped more than 500 pages of documents including emails on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee chaired by Darrell Issa tonight. Sources say that among these are at least one email on 15 December 2010 from then US Attorney Dennis K. Burke to Monty Wilkinson, aide to Eric Holder, informing the Attorney General office of the murder of Brian Terry and, later that day, of the seizure at the scene of Fast and Furious weapons. More shortly.

LATER

NPR was apparently the preferred outlet for the dump. Go here –– http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2012/01/27/146010135/emails-show-how-fast-and-furious-ambush-news-unfolded-at-justice-dept
They also have the emails posted. Holder is screwed. Of course the only reason they're doing this is to further the modified limited hangout, which now apparently includes Eric Holder. Remember, these are the emails that the WH WANTED to release. What does that tell us? That they're protecting the White House and are willing to dispose of Holder to do it.

are going to be quite interesting. That is, if Gen Holder decides to show up.

not looking good for the AG based on his previous responses and his departments positions.

Hopefully justice for the dead will previal no matter where it leads.

This is because NPR is one of the few MSM sources which has a half-way objective view on the RKBA. Though CBS and the L.A. Times has covered ATF's gun-running activities, these outlets (and most other MSM outlets) have a long record of pro-control/prohibition. NPR, on the other hand, has approached the topic more even handedly.
