WASHINGTON – Former Attorney General Eric Holder, President Barack Obama's pick to run the Justice Department, played a crucial role in an effort to cover up the government's "Fast and Furious" Mexican gun trafficking scandal, a congressional investigative panel said Thursday.
"Senior Justice Department official – including Attorney General Eric Holder – intensely followed and managed an effort to carefully limit and obstruct the information produced to Congress," the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform said in a report about a trove of thousands of documents finally turned over by the administration after about five years of delays.
(CNSNews.com) – "We have got to have the guts to rethink the so-called war on drugs," Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said at Thursday's Democrat debate in Brooklyn.
He identified the issue as one of the differences between himself and his rival Hillary Clinton.
