The goal was to make Sen. Chuck Grassley&#8217;s questions appear partisan when he asked about Operation Fast and Furious.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/hotair.com\/archives\/2011\/11\/15\/did-the-doj-attempt-to-manipulate-fast-furious-media-coverage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ed Morrissey writing in HotAir.com<\/a> has this to say about the attempt at manipulating the press:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>Well, it\u2019s no big deal, right?  It\u2019s not as if this is a life-and-death issue.  Oh, wait \u2026<\/p>\n<p>Scandal-free, my foot.  If this administration had nothing to hide, it wouldn\u2019t be so desperate to manipulate the media and dodge Congressional oversight.  It\u2019s long past time for Eric Holder to resign.  It might be time for the Senate to block all Obama nominees until he fires Holder.<\/i> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Daily Caller reports today that Attorney General Eric Holder and the Justice Department tried to manipulate the press&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[544,507],"class_list":["post-3764","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-project-gunwalker","tag-quote-of-the-day"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3764","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3764"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3764\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7411,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3764\/revisions\/7411"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3764"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3764"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3764"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
