Welcome back attorney general Eric Holder and -- defenders have taken even more heat over this fast and furious investigation by accusing the investigators.
Of having an agenda.
Do you think that's why I'm asking you about fast and furious because your political ideology I'm not gonna ignore reality and say that all of the attacks that have been directed at me have been those that are non political in nature or that have -- -- have come.
In good faith if you think.
That you were being singled -- Because a political ideology or race or -- -- characteristic or factor when it comes to fast and furious you were sorely mistaken.
Joining us now -- lot of domino she's a close friend of slain border agent Brian Terry.
Missing weapons from passengers were found at the scene of -- American morning -- Your friend Brian was killed we sure remind people back in December of 2010.
You I know have followed all these proceedings.
Very closely at the end of the eighth.
Appearance of attorney general Eric Holder and -- of different committees are you any closer to knowing who authorized this -- what went wrong.
-- -- -- be closer to knowing who authorized it if you had released the remainder of the documents that he's already given to the inspector general.
-- that was given over a 140000 documents.
To conduct a thorough investigation.
Darrell ice -- his only be given 7600.
Documents.
Of which the 7600 have been a deck it so yeah we we are any closer with.
-- withholding information.
Lot of the exchange we just heard between the congressman -- between the attorney general refer to this being.
Very political hyper political almost do you feel that this -- become a partisan.
Investigation.
I believe that the this is an election year.
The Democrats are making it more of a political issue this is an American issue.
We have to -- federal agents Brian Terry was killed and -- action -- -- -- potter was killed in the line of action.
If we don't stand up for the people who serve our country and that's why we have the freedoms that we have today.
Who is going to so that shouldn't be based off -- race that shouldn't be based off -- on Republican or I'm a Democrat.
It's an American issue.
It's your job as an elected official.
To fight for the people who serve the country for justice.
You have to families with no answers the -- family.
Deserves closure and they deserve the truth.
Of how he was killed.
Eric Holder holds the carts.
And so withholding information.
That's leadership.
We have problems if that's leadership and that's represents our country.
You bring up Brian's family obviously they want resolution.
As would any family -- you know how they're feeling this week after watching the attorney general testify yet again but not seem to get to the bottom and in fact.
I can't speak for the family they are currently under of litigation.
But I can tell you that is any family would be completely distraught and frustrated.
With no answers after a year and a half -- was killed in December it's a year and a half an eight months of asking attorney general holder you know.
Can we have the remainder of the documents.
Who was responsible the highest level his responses are I don't recall.
I don't know he knows the inspector general -- -- conducted an investigation and he won't even released the investigation.
Of the inspector general.
Lanny brewer has admitted fault yet he still hasn't fired Laney brewer.
Jason Weinstein is on emails with James trustee specifically stating fast and furious.
You know we're gonna release public documents how -- we handle this with the media that guilty is there and yet know inspired.
Dennis Burke resigned himself.
Attorney Eric Holder has not fired anyone.
You know so I I do believe that yet -- colder and the Obama administration are definitely making it political because it's an election year.
By withholding information.
And that's not fair to the -- failing to getting answers that they deserve in the justice that Brian -- deserves an honor.
And many including the congressman had on from Texas want Eric Holder to resign a lot of domino thanks for being on -- and say -- are we appreciate.
