High performer meaning he lost hundreds of thousands of assault rifles in the "Fast and Furious" scam that sent small arms into Mexico. Which were immediately lost and use against US Citizens abroad and in our own country.
Right, the Holder who cut his teeth representing banks, became U.S. attorney general and refused to prosecute banks, and then went back to work representing banks. The Holder who has advocated on Uber's behalf in the past, and whose firm, Covington & Burling, has counseled Uber. I'm sure he's a real bastion of impartiality.
That Holder didn't start Fast and Furious. It was authorized under Alberto Gonzales in 2006. Yeah, that Gonzales.
Actually, I had to review the history on this. Wide Receiver was started in 2006. Fast and Furious was a follow on in 2009. Holder has testified that he didn't authorize it. Issa+Company sure investigated the hell out of it although Gonzales never testified.
Hundreds of thousands? According to Wikipedia 2000 gun sales were tracked under Fast and Furious and 710 of those were later found, leaving somewhat less than hundreds of thousands of guns afield.
