News from The Hill:Top Justice Dept. official: ATF should have stopped 'gun walking' tactics By Jordy Yager Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer said top-ranking officials at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) should have taken action when he told them about controversial "gun walking" used in a gun-tracking operation. Testifying before the Senate Judiciary subcommittee on crime and terrorism on Tuesday, Breuer attempted to take a large portion of the blame for allowing the tactics to be used in Operation Fast and Furious, saying that he regretted not taking more action. But Breuer — the highest level Justice Department official to admit to knowing about the "gun walking" tactics before the press exposed them — stressed to the committee's ranking Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley (Iowa) that he failed to inform Attorney General Eric Holder about the controversial methods because he had told ATF leadership of the potential problem. |
