"Inconceivable' to Reward Architects of "Fast and Furious'

Statement

U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas) a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and former state Attorney General, today responded to reports that key officials who oversaw the "Fast and Furious" gun-walking operation have been promoted to new positions within the Justice Department in Washington:

"Until Attorney General Holder and Justice Department officials come clean on all alleged gun-walking operations, including a detailed response to allegations of a Texas-based scheme, it is inconceivable to reward those who spearheaded this disastrous operation with cushy desks in Washington."

Last week Sen. Cornyn sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder demanding answers following recent press reports of alleged Texas-based "gun-walking" programs similar to the "Fast and Furious" operation currently being investigated by Congressional lawmakers.
