weinstein admits he did read indicated that a.t.f.had walked guns, according to the inspector general. back in september of last year, the attorney general holder said at a press conference -- quote -- "the notion that somehow or other this thing reaches the upper levels of the justice department is something that i don't think is supported by the facts." end of quote. now, maybe the attorney general doesn't think someone who reports directly to the head of the criminal division is a senior official, but this senator does. as a result of the inspector general's findings, deputy assistant attorney general weinstein has resigned. mr. weinstein should be held accountable, but he shouldn't take the fall for more senior officials who are also culpable. mr. weinstein reported directly to assistant attorney general lanny brewer. when the justice department sent its letter to me denying a.t.f. ever walked guns, brewer knew otherwise. he knew in 2010 about gun walking in another case, operation wide seaver. that was before the allegations of f

and the other person has actually resigned that would be jason weinstein, the deputy assistant attorneypartment. he is one of the couple top officials who were named in all of this. and what they have been named for, by the way, brooke, is failure to send information up the line, so that people like the attorney general and others could get a hold of it and failure to inquire. in other words, failure to ask enough questions, the belief of the inspector general was that they had enough information to ask some questions, but apparently did not do it. now, the -- the attorney general, eric holder, has actually put out a statement here, i'm just trying to get to part of that statement, he said he's reviewed the office of inspector general's report, and it is consistent with what he and other justice department officials have been saying. the inappropriate strategy and tactics employed were field driven, he says. they date back to 2006. leadership of the department didn't know or authorize the use of flawed strategy and tactics. and the department's leadership didn't attempt to cover up info
