Having listened to every one of those nine testimonies by AG Holder, it drives me crazy that a year later and after the ninth testimony, the Attorney General still cannot say who was responsible for the misleading letter to Congress and who in DOJ knew about Fast and Furious. It isn't like those are unfair questions; but I've yet to see anyone point out that the AG has testified 9 times without being able to answer basic questions about a massive scandal in his Department.

Seems to me that there is a difference, a large difference between questions that Mr. Holder is able to answer, and questions that he is willing to answer. Of course, given that he likely expected the political cover he is getting from the president, who has invoked Executive Privilege goes a long way to explain his "reticence"
