Issa subpoenas Holder, Justice on 'Fast and Furious'
By Daniel Strauss

House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) has subpoenaed Attorney General Eric Holder and the Department of Justice for documents related to the "Fast and Furious" gun tracking operation.

Issa argues Holder either knew more about the failed operation than he has told Congress, or has run his department incompetently if he did not know of the gun program. The White House has defended Holder, and the Attorney General has charged Issa and other Republicans with playing politics.

"Top Justice Department officials, including Attorney General Holder, know more about Operation Fast and Furious than they have publicly acknowledged," Issa said in a statement announcing the subpoenas. "The documents this subpoena demands will provide answers to questions that Justice officials have tried to avoid since this investigation began eight months ago. It's time we know the whole truth."
