brian terry deserves those answers, and his family does as well.z is a former attorney general. he spoke with megyn kelly the past week. and what he talked about is that how many things come across your desk that you, frankly, do not see or your staff needs to vet the material before it gets to you. that's what holder said when he described in his own testimony too. listen to gonzalez, and i'll ask you about it. >> there are multiple issues, multiple memos flowing up to the office of the attorney general every day. sometimes you actually don't get to see them, and the fact that a memo is addressed to the attorney general doesn't mean that he actually saw it. bill: says it's not because you're out to lunch, there's so many competing interests. is that a fair explanation? >> no. i mean, i understand to a degree. look, it's a busy office. we're all busy up here. but fully as early as a month after brian terry was killed, eric holder's office began to get a memo, began to receive questions asking about what happened. it's incumbent upon his office to m

customs and protection agent brian terry was violently murdered in arizona. should feel horrible about his death. we are dedicated to pursuing justice on his behalf. the department is working to answer questions that the terry family has raises, including whether and how firearms connected to fast and furious end up with mexican drug cartels. in her independent review i expect the department's acting inspector general to answer these questions. i understand that congress also wants answers. the justice department employees have been working tirelessly to identify, locate and provide relevant information to this committee and to the two other committees that are investigating fast and furious all while preserving the integrity of our ongoing criminal investigations and prosecutions. the department has been fully cooperative and responsive in it's dealings with congress. i have answered questions in the house, and senate on four occasions concerning this matter. to date we have provided almost 5,000 pages of documents for congressional investigators to review.

the ongoing investigation is not a fast and furious, it's of who killed brian terry.ember, they do not know who killed him, but they know that evidence of the weapons that they let get into the hands of the mexican drug cartels was found at the scene of agent terry's death. it is lawful for law enforcement to refuse to reveal documents in ongoing criminal investigations, especially investigations of murder. having said that, the attorney general just seems to keep dig ago hole deeper and deeper every time he's there, trace. this is no longer an issue of whether or not this was an appropriate law enforcement technique giving guns to the bad guys and seeing what they do with them. the issue is now what did the justice department know and what did they know and what did they tell the congress? did they mislead the congress? did they do the same thing that prosecuting roger clemens for? >> that's the question, judge. they say eric holder says they didn't mislead the congress with criminal intent. is there a difference? >> their argument is that they did mislead the congre

border patrol agent brian terry.g this one again for us this afternoon from los angeles. hi, william. >> well, shepard, that bad information came in the form of a number inache ray wases in inaccuracies back in february namely that the u.s. denied helping send guns to mexican cartels and secondly none of their guns showed up at the murder scene of brian terry. both those statements were false at the time they were made. friday, brewer blamed u.s. attorney dennis burke in arizona, acting ken mel son and the agent in charge bill newell, among others, saying in essence that they lied to him and his office, unknowingly lied to congress. including the claim that this man was not under investigation when he bought the guns that killed brian terry and, therefore, they couldn't do anything. ll, that is inaccurate. he was a suspect 46 days before he bought those murder weapons. and he could have been arrested sooner several times but was not. justice also released a nasty email burke wrote about senator grassley's investigati

borter patrol agent brian terry and i applaud mr. issa for his leadership on this. one year ago this wednesday on december 14, 2010, as on so many previous nights, agent terry and his agents were defending this country. tragically that night he died in the line of duty from injuries sustained in a gun fight. he upheld his oath to defend our country. he was only 40 years old and was days away from taking the trip back home to michigan for the christmas holiday. even before he joined the united states customs and border protection as a border patrol agent, agent terry displayed an exemplary record of public service. he joined the united states marine corps upon his graduation from high school and served a tour of duty in iraq. he was honorably discharged in 1994. upon completing his military service, he returned home to michigan and completed a bachelor of science degree in criminal justice. he then served as a police officer in lincoln park, michigan. in 2007 he joined the united states customs and border protection and became a member of the elite border patrol tacti

agent brian terry was killed and is continuing the cover-up. he suggested there was a third gun recovered at the crime scene, even there was a murder weapon. the fbi's intentionally covering it up. i believe e know the answer to this, but what are the facts with respect to whether there was a third gun recovered at the scene of the crime as chairman issa suggested? >> let me start with adamantly rejecting the suggestion that the fbi would in any way cover up the what happened in the tragic killing of brian terry. to the contrary. every available, necessary resource has been put on that and similar informations where we lose one of our -- investigations where we lose one of our own. i do and am familiar with the suggestion that there was a third gun at the scene. there was no third weapon found at the scene. there were two weapons that were found at the scene, not a third. why there was suggestions as to a third, i'm still not certain. it may well be that the two weapons that were found were designated k2 and k3 because there was a k1 that was n

we need to make sure congress never gets an absolutely dead wrong answer, especially when brian terry and others' lives have been put at risk. in brian's he was killed because of a flawed program. >> you said people should resign over this controversy. is one of those people eric holder, the attorney general? >> not at all. i haven't said that. i haven't called for any resignations. i have said there needs to be a thorough house cleaning. i called on the attorney general to name the names. there are people that he knows of that aren't doing their job or seeing what was there and making the wrong decision. he has chosen in that testimony to say he is going to wait for the ig, wait for a lot of things. i happen to disagree with that. we will go forward with the rest of their investigation. i met with his key staff today to try to outline how we can get this wrapped up in a timely fashion. but that happens. the attorney general has a right to do whatever the president wants him to do relative to this investigation. we have an obligation to get to the truth. i think we will both do that.

number two, the brian terry family is entitled to all the information the government knows about theireing murdered, and number three, we want to make sure a stupid program like this is not repeated. >> can't you just ask the attorney general under oath who authorized this, who is the top guy or top person who authorized it? tell us now and we will move on. >> i asked tough questions like this before the judiciary committee and you always have somebody covering up for somebody else. >> that's horrible. >> it is horrible. maybe this thursday, the 28th. >> holder is coming before the judiciary committee and the house of representatives, maybe those questions will be asked again. >> why don't you just send them a letter and say you are going to be here thursday, december 8th. we are going to ask you one specific question. you have four days to find out. who is the top person when authorized this? come with that information. >> i will have to get a congressman to ask it because i won't be over in the other body. >> that's right. get a congressman. >> but i will. >> thank you, sir. >> thank
