Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, today made the following comment after participating in a meeting with Attorney General Eric Holder and Rep. Darrell Issa on the Operation Fast and Furious gun-walking operation. Grassley has been working on getting answers from the government on the ill-advised operation for months.
"The Attorney General wants to trade a briefing and the promise of delivering some small, unspecified set of documents tomorrow for a free pass today. He wants to turn over only what he wants to turn over and not give us any information about what he's not turning over. That's unacceptable. I'm not going to buy a pig in a poke. Chairman Issa is right to move forward to seek answers about a disastrous government operation."
