On topic, the case against holder, the Justice Department, which is headed by the AG Eric Holder, oversaw the ATF operation known as "Fast and Furious".  The ATF was allowing guns purchased in the United States by agents of the drug cartels, to be shipped across the border to Mexico.  Some in the ATF wanted to move in and arrest these cartel agents and remove the weapons but were ordered by the Justice Department to allow the weapons to continue on.

On December 14, 2010, border agent Brian Terry was killed in a shoot out on the border.  Two weapons were recovered.  Both weapons serial numbers matched those of weapons that the ATF had tracked and allowed to be moved into Mexico.

The number of weapons that were purchased, while the ATF watched (and video taped many of the buys), is staggering.  Also the types of weapons is disturbing.  50 caliber Barrett rifles along with the AK's and other military type weapons.  One e-mail obtained by the press stated that 359 weapons were purchased in March alone, and all those weapons made it safely back to Mexico, despite that the ATF was not only aware, but were tracking the weapons while in the US.

With the killing of Terry, the ATF finally moved in and arrested some of the people they were tracking, but over 2,500 weapons had already made it into Mexico.

The Justice department's reasoning to allow the weapons to walk was to gain intelligence on the cartels.  However, no cartel has actually be brought down by the investigation, only a few low level gun buyers. 

The Justice department issued a statement denying that on their orders weapons were allowed to flow into Mexico from the US.

With Brian Terry's death, it seems the Justice Department and the ATF have conflicting stories.

I will let you be the judge-
