MainJustice.com is reporting that Rep. Elijah Cummings is going to hold separate hearings on Fast and Furious this Thursday. They also report that the witness list includes Sen. Charles Schument, an ATF agent, and several of the usual gun control suspects.
I'm really surprised at the level of firepower being expended to defend a position that is basically not defensible. Looks like the Administration has made the bad strategic decision to have a fight on their opponent's terms. Media Matters is pushing hard with the meme that "Fast and Furious was a policy to promote gun control = birtherism", though naturally they don't attempt to tackle the mass of evidence supporting that claim on a point by point basis.
I suspect that tomorrow's hearing will basically be a replay of the WaPo editorial - the ATF wouldn't have had to do such a stupid thing if the NRA hadn't made them do it. As arguments go, I look forward to ripping in to that one.
