Sen. John Cornyn (R, TX) announced today that it’s time for Attorney General Eric Holder to go.

You know, Eric Holder… you better hope President Obama has you on his short list for pardons.  Or that the President is even ready to put such a list together.  But, hey, thanks for the material! The House is going to love having it.

House Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa on Tuesday called for a special prosecutor to investigate the growing “Fast and Furious” scandal, in which the Obama administration allowed guns to walk to Mexico, where they fell into the hands of drug lords and were found at the murder scene of at least one U.S. border agent.

Issa complained in a conference call that, “there is ongoing cover up of a pattern of wrongdoing that can’t be explained by any ordinary people (who tried) to do the right thing but made a mistake.”

(More here and here) Entertainingly, Attorney General Eric Holder would be the one who would have to appoint the person investigating… him; even more entertainingly, this actually makes it more difficult for Holder to stonewall things.  Continue reading Darrell Issa calls for special prosecutor on Fast & Furious.
