Holder lies; House Judiciary Cmte chair calls for Fast and Furious special prosecutor

It is becoming clear that Attorney General Eric Holder lied under oath when he told Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) that he only found out about the Operation Fast and Furious fiasco that put at least 2,000 assault weapons into the hands of Mexican drug cartels just a few weeks before his testimony before the House Oversight Committee.

And earlier today, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-TX) called for a special prosecutor to investigate Holder and Fast and Furious.
