Eric Holder Finally Apologizes For The Murder Of Border Agent
To the press. Not the family.
Politico reported Thursday that Attorney General Eric Holder sent a “private letter” to the family of murdered Border Patrol agent Brian Terry, apologizing for his death. But friends of the Terry family have told The Daily Caller that no such letter has made it to the Terry home.
“Eric Holder has told the grieving family of slain U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry that he is ‘sorry for the loss of your son’ and offered to meet with them,” reporter Tim Mak wrote.
Holder’s letter, Mak wrote, praised the fallen Border Patrol Agent: “Brian was a hero who served his nation bravely and made the ultimate sacrifice. I agree with you that the tactic of allowing guns to ‘walk,’ as was permitted in Operation Fast and Furious, is completely unacceptable.”
The Holder letter may exist, but Politico hasn’t published it. And friends of the Terry family told The Daily Caller on Thursday that they haven’t received it.
Either Holder never sent his “private letter,” or the Justice Department leaked it to Politico before the Terry family received it.
“He never sent a letter,” Lana Domino, a Terry family friend, told The DC on Thursday.
What an asshole.

from the original Politico link:
"A lawyer representing Terry’s parents confirmed on Thursday that the family had received Holder’s letter."
Long after he had released it to the press.
Not true, read the articles again.
There is updated information that the family had received the letter before publication of the politico story.
