Sen Grassley Again Calls for Breuer to Resign Over Fast & Furious

The latest documents released yesterday by the DOJ show that the Department was well aware of that guns we being allowed to walk. Notice the email below is address to Lanny Breuer and others and that it was sent on April 28, 2010. You can view all of the documents here. I guess we will eventually hear about Project Deliverance as mentioned in the email.

From: Weinstein, Jason
To: Breuer, Lanny A.; Raman, Mythili; Fagelt, Steven
Sent: Wed Apr 28 IB:59:27 2010
Subject: Operation Wide Receiver

Jim T and I met with Billy Hoover and with Laura and Alisa to talk about this gun trafficking case with the issues about the guns being allowed to walk for Investigative purposes. Can fill you in tomorrow in more detail but we all think the best move is to indict both Wide Receiver I and Wide Receiver II under seal and then unseal as part of Project Deliverance, where focus will be on aggregate seizures and not on particulars of anyone indictment.

Today Senator Chuck Grassley again called for Lanny Breuer to resign. You can read his full press release here. It is excerpted below.

“The documents dumped today by the Justice Department prove that this administration knew that guns were walked in Operation Wide Receiver, yet did nothing about it even as it was happening again in Fast and Furious. I’ve said all along that walking guns is wrong, period. I don’t care who did it. We know that Lanny Breuer knew about guns being walked in Operation Wide Receiver, which is why he needs to do the right thing, hold himself accountable and resign.
