Some updates from around the news-o-sphere:

Deputy Director William Hoover and Assistant Director Mark Chait of the ATF have been demoted. Thomas Brandon, in charge of damage control in Phoenix has been promoted to Deputy Director

http://www.latimes.com/news/politics...,6002965.story

Representative Issa is not happy with Eric Holder. Nor is Rep. Lamar Smith.

Representative Paul Gosar has thrown down the "accessory to murder" gauntlet. He also would like Judiciary and Oversight to get together and grill AG Holder.

EDIT: And an update at MSNBC, which points out that Operation Wide Receiver (started and ended under the previous administration) resulted in nine indictments under the current administration.

The article skirts the "well, Bush did it too" line rather closely, but points out that Senator Grassley essentially said that regardless of who started it, "walking" guns needs to stop.
