Justice Department’s inspector general issues report on Fast and Furious
The Justice Department’s inspector general today released its long-awaited report on the failed Fast and Furiousgun-trafficking program and asked Atty. Gen. Eric H. Holder Jr. to determine whether disciplinary or other administrative punishment should be meted out to 14 people, including Kenneth Mellson, the former acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
The inspector general found no evidence that Holder knew about Fast and Furious until after U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry was killed in December 2010.
