Obama Spoke About "Fast & Furious" Before Holder Claimed He Knew.
CNN's John King plays Holder's testimony to Congress on MAY 3, 2011, where he said he had only just recently heard about the Fast & Furious gunrunning program. "I'm not sure of the exact date, but I probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks," Attorney General Eric Holder said.
Then CNN compares Holder's testimony to what President Obama said in MARCH to CNN Espanol about the operation. "I heard on the news about this story that -- Fast and Furious, where allegedly guns were being run into Mexico, and ATF knew about it, but didn't apprehend those who had sent it." Transcript of the segment that aired on "John King USA" below:
KING: Well, Congressman Cummings, let's get to one of the questions here. Let's first listen to the attorney general. He came before this committee back in May. Here's what he said.

ISSA: When did you first know about the program officially I believe called Fast and Furious? To the best of your knowledge, what date?
ERIC HOLDER, U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL: I'm not sure of the exact date, but I probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
KING: He says over the last few weeks.
That is on May 3, 2011. Listen to this interview the president of the United States, not the attorney general, the president of the United States, had with CNN Espanol back in March.

BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: There have been problems, you know. I heard on the news about this story that -- Fast and Furious, where allegedly guns were being run into Mexico, and ATF knew about it, but didn't apprehend those who had sent it.
Eric Holder has -- the attorney general has been very clear that he knew nothing about this. We had assigned an I.G., inspector general, to investigate it. (END VIDEO CLIP)
KING: It begs the question, how did the president know about this in March, and how did the president know the attorney general knew nothing about this in march, when the attorney general says in May he just learned about it a couple weeks ago?

I think it hilarious that Barry will claim he heard about it on the news when he is the most powerful person, with access to the most intelligence tools on the planet, in the world and he supposedly finds out from the news.
Can you say Buffoonery?
Barry's endless lying is closing in on him, and so too is it closing in on the rest of his cabal. John King last night nailed Barry over and over and over again on the lack of merit in his statements and the AP has even started to "fact check" Barry's mindless rants.
Why, all of a sudden, is this happening? It is because his lies are so obvious as to have been hiding in plain sight all along. It is just that there have been so many, for so long, that the sheer volume is what hid them.
There is no shame here for you Mike. There is only a "See, I told you so." ;)
What's the big deal. 8 weeks is a "few"......sorta.
;)
Inconvenient facts and posted.
I notice maobama, in his CNN Espanol interview refers to "Fast and Furious".
CBS's Attkisson, in her first report -2/23/11 - says Project Gunrunner in the story.
Was that the news story he was talking about? If so, where did Fast and Furious come to his attention?
The serious matter here is that WE are nearly the ONLY PEOPLE who're taking this PUBLIC!
This PROVES, beyond a shadow of doubt, that the "Drive by", "main liners" Media is BOUGHT & SOLD at White house auction!It's also imperative that we PUSH THIS out into the open with as many voices as we can muster -- ESPECIALLY the Terry, Zapata, link! Our "Sipsey street moment" may be fast approaching if we fail to drive this scandal forward into daylight!
