The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“ERIC ``WITH'' HOLDER--FAST AND FURIOUS--AND ANOTHER VICTIM” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Justice was published in the House of Representatives section on pages H4504 on July 16, 2013.
The publication is reproduced in full below:
ERIC ``WITH'' HOLDER--FAST AND FURIOUS--AND ANOTHER VICTIM
(Mr. POE of Texas asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. POE of Texas. Mr. Speaker, at a House Judiciary hearing, Eric
``With'' Holder, the Attorney General, admitted to me that more people were going to die because of Operation Fast and Furious. That's the Justice Department and ATF gunrunning scheme that sent hundreds of U.S. automatic weapons to criminal drug cartels in Mexico.
Recently, Mexican Police Chief Lucio Rosales Astorga of Hostotipaquillo, Mexico, was ambushed and gunned down by assassins as he was driving his son to school. His wife and two bodyguards were also shot. The automatic weapon used to shoot him was a Fast and Furious gun smuggled to Mexico by the U.S. Government. Reportedly, over 200 Mexican nationals have been killed by Fast and Furious weapons.
American guns are at the side of these puddles of blood. Chief Astorga's son will be fatherless because of this government's recklessness. Meanwhile, Attorney General Eric ``With'' Holder keeps stonewalling justice and withholding information on this gunrunning scheme.
Mr. Speaker, somebody needs to go to jail. And that's just the way it is.
