A startling new allegation about the tainting of potential witness testimony before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has surfaced in a letter sent yesterday by Congressman Darrell Issa and Senator Charles Grassley to Attorney General Eric Holder. Witness Tampering! In a letter to Eric Holder Issa and Grassley chastise Holder for allowing potential witnesses in the BATF access to a shared hard drive where documents subpoenaed by the committee could be viewed by potential witnesses.
“We have recently learned that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has afforded potential witnesses for the Committees’ investigation into Operation Fast and Furious access to a shared drive on its computer system replete with pertinent investigative documents, including official ATF e-mails. Although our staff has been advised the Department has since terminated access to this document cache, we write to seek additional information relating to this egregious decision. We also ask that you promptly self-report this matter to the Office of Inspector General (OIG).”
The Office of Inspector General doesn't have the juice to run this investigation a special prosecutor should appointed. Read more at the Daily Caller.
