SandBox Comments: Tree of Mamre/John Scotus "Holder Refuses to Apologize to the Family of Brian Terry (Fast & Furious)"

A must watch video of US AG Eric Holder.  Click title.

Thank you to blogger John Scotus for this post and passing forward such a revealing statement from Holder.

"This is US Attorney General Eric Holder being questioned by Senator John Cornyn regarding the murder of US Border Patrol agent Brian Terry with the use of a gun which was allowed to be sold to a Mexican drug gang in Operation Fast and Furious.

Of course Holder refuses to apologize: He is a lawyer, and so he would view such an apology as an admission of guilt.

Indeed, since Justice Department memos indicated that they expected Fast and Furious to result in “collateral damage”, an apology by Holder would in fact be very much an admission of guilt.
It is time for Holder to come clean and resign."
