Grassley, Issa send Holder letter demanding more answers about Fast and Furious suspect

Operation Fast and Furious | March 19, 2012

By  | Seattle Gun Rights Examiner

Following Monday’s revelation by the Los Angeles Times that a chief suspect in the Operation Fast and Furious investigation was detained in May 2010 on the Arizona-Mexico border, but subsequently released, Sen. Charles Grassley and Congressman Darrell Issa want some answers.

They sent a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder Monday afternoon, asking Holder to turn over documents relating to the incident, along with an explanation why the suspect, Manuel Fabian Celis-Acosta, was not arrested at the time. He remained free for another eight months, until his arrest in February 2011. This column has obtained a copy of that letter.

Celis-Acosta was allowed to go free into Mexico and was not arrested until February 2, 2011 – eight months later.

Darrell Issa
