It’s still on: Six more members of Congress call for Eric Holder’s resignation « Hot Air

It’s still on: Six more members of Congress call for Eric Holder’s resignation « Hot Air: "As a reminder, Fast and Furious — a program of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms — was a purported drug-busting operation in which ATF officials intentionally sold guns to straw purchasers who, in turn, sold the weapons to leaders of Mexican drug cartels. But if the intention of the officials was to bust the cartels, they had a curious way of showing it: No credible attempt was made to track the weapons from the hands of the straw purchasers into the hands of the drug cartel leaders. As a result, the weapons were never interdicted and some have since shown up on the scene of violent crimes in both the U.S. and Mexico. The ultimately lethal program led to the deaths of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and more than 200 Mexicans. Hundreds more of the guns are still not accounted for and likely to turn up at the scenes of future tragedies."

Why is it only 109?
