Eric don’t play that! Eric Holder Blasts Critics In Newly Released Emails Eric Holder, the first black Attorney General who recently resigned from office , is being outed for blasting some of his critics in emails. In one in particular a very frustrated Holder suggested “some people can kiss my a**.” Welp! The Huffington Post reports: Newly released emails show Attorney General Eric Holder said that Justice Department prosecutors who were critical of the department’s handling of the fallout of the Fast and Furious gun-walking scandal could “kiss my a**.” Operation Fast and Furious was a botched effort by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to track firearms across the Southwest border. Revelations about it created a political firestorm, leading to congressional investigations and turnover within the ATF and Justice Department. The Justice Department selectively provided a batch of emails this week to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. The Associated Press obtained the emails on Friday. In one email from March 2011, after being sent a news story about the Fast and Furious investigation, Holder told staff, “I hope there is another side to the story.” Later, after the ATF deputy director assured Holder aides that “we did not allow guns to walk,” Holder responded to staff with, “Do they really, really know?” That August, Holder was told by staff that about 25 U.S. attorneys was upset that the resignation of Dennis Burke, then the U.S. attorney in Arizona, was announced simultaneously with the reassignment of ATF Acting Director Ken Melson. Holder wondered “why wouldn’t we get the benefit of the doubt. Assume we’re doing things for the right reasons and in the right way.” Holder later added, “Some people can kiss my a**.” It’s obvious that the Attorney General was at his wit’s end over the gun-walking scandal. Do you think what he said was fair or foul??
