The Holder who has advocated on Uber&amp;#x27;s behalf in the past, and whose firm, Covington &amp;amp; Burling, has counseled Uber. I&amp;#x27;m sure he&amp;#x27;s a real bastion of impartiality.</text></comment>

It was authorized under Alberto Gonzales in 2006. Yeah, &lt;i&gt;that&lt;/i&gt; Gonzales.&lt;p&gt;Actually, I had to review the history on this. &lt;i&gt;Wide Receiver&lt;/i&gt; was started in 2006. &lt;i&gt;Fast and Furious&lt;/i&gt; was a follow on in 2009. Holder has testified that he didn&amp;#x27;t authorize it. Issa+Company sure investigated the hell out of it although Gonzales never testified.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.cnn.com&amp;#x2F;2013&amp;#x2F;08&amp;#x2F;27&amp;#x2F;world&amp;#x2F;americas&amp;#x2F;operation-fast-and-furious-fast-facts&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.cnn.com&amp;#x2F;2013&amp;#x2F;08&amp;#x2F;27&amp;#x2F;world&amp;#x2F;americas&amp;#x2F;operation-fast-...&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
