Quayle on Fast and Furious report: Holder ?lied to my face? during House testimony

Arizona Republican Rep. Ben Quayle told The Daily Caller that Attorney General Eric Holder intentionally gave him false testimony under oath about Operation Fast and Furious wiretap application documents during a June 7 House Judiciary Committee hearing.

Quayle said the Department of Justice?s inspector general report proves that Holder lied to him while under oath during the hearing.

?I saw earlier that Holder is basically doing a victory dance and that he thinks this [inspector general] report exonerates him and there was no dishonesty with Congress ? that?s just a blatant lie,? Quayle said in a phone interview. ?I mean, he lied to me ? to my face ? during questioning, saying they had reviewed the wiretap applications after the fact and claiming that there was no reference to gunwalking, which is blatantly false.?

Holder told Quayle during congressional questioning that wiretap application affidavits and summaries from Fast and Furious did not, upon his review, mention anything about gunwalking that would have raised the concerns of senior Justice Department officials who signed and approved them.

?I?ve looked at these affidavits. I?ve looked at these summaries. There?s nothing in those affidavits as I?ve reviewed them that indicates gunwalking was allowed,? Holder said during the hearing. ?Let?s get to the bottom line. I didn?t see anything in there that would put on notice a person who was reviewing either at the line level or at the Deputy Assistant Attorney General level, that you would have knowledge of the fact that these inappropriate tactics were being used.?

Quayle followed up by asking: ?Are you saying in the summaries or in the whole affidavit??

Holder confirmed that his statement was about ?in the summary as well as in the affidavit.?

The DOJ inspector general came to the opposite conclusion about those very same affidavits, essentially implying that that Holder statement is not true.

?We reviewed the wiretap affidavits in both Operation Wide Receiver and Operation Fast and Furious and concluded that the affidavits in both cases included information that would have caused a prosecutor who was focused on the question of investigative tactics, particularly one who was already sensitive to the issue of ?gun walking,? to have questions about ATF?s conduct of the investigations,? the inspector general wrote in its report released Wednesday.

If House members were to pursue perjury charges against Holder for this apparently false statement to Congress, they would likely run into the same roadblock they encountered in holding Holder in criminal contempt of Congress.

This summer, a bipartisan group of House members voted Holder into both criminal and civil contempt of Congress for his failure to comply with a congressional subpoena into Fast and Furious. The criminal contempt resolution stalled because Holder?s DOJ told Ron Machen, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, not to enforce it.

House members, however, remain intent on pursing the civil contempt charges in court ? with the ultimate goal of having a federal judge overturn President Barack Obama?s use of executive privilege to help Holder withhold Fast and Furious documents.

DOJ spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler has not responded to TheDC?s request for comment about this apparent lie Holder made before the House Judiciary Committee.

Ashbel Green, editor of Cronkite, dies at age 84

NEW YORK (AP) ? Ashbel Green, a versatile and respected editor at Alfred A. Knopf who persuaded Gabriel Garcia Marquez to switch publishers, worked on Walter Cronkite's memoir and a foreign policy book by President George H.W. Bush and helped discover the crime classic "The Friends of Eddie Coyle," has died. He was 84.

The publisher announced Wednesday that Green died Tuesday night while dining with his wife, Elizabeth Osha, near their home in Stonington, Conn. The cause of death was not immediately given.

Known to his friends as "Ash," Green was an old-school publishing man who preferred a typewriter to computers and was praised by The New York Observer as "an exemplar of elegance, decency and seriousness." Green acquired and edited hundreds of books and as managing editor at Knopf looked through the endless unsolicited manuscripts known as the "slush pile."

"Ash was a prodigious talent, one of the most significant editorial figures in modern publishing, famous for his breadth of reading and grasp of history," Knopf president Sonny Mehta said in a statement. "Many of us had the good fortune of learning a great deal about the business from him. He was a beloved colleague, and his contributions to our company ? an esteemed editorial legacy ? are part of what still define us today."

The son of a newspaperman and descendant of Presbyterian ministers, Green was born in New York in 1928. He graduated from Columbia College in 1950 and two years later received a master's in Eastern European history from Columbia. He worked as publicity director of Prentice Hall, developed a love for editing and was hired by Knopf in 1964 as managing editor. Nine years later, he was promoted to vice president and senior editor and remained in those positions until his retirement, in 2007.

In the early 1970s he came upon a story about the Irish-American underworld in Boston, written by an Assistant U.S. Attorney General George V. Higgins. Although put off by the two-page cover letter ? "George sometimes tended to garrulity," Green later told the alumni publication Columbia Magazine ? he looked through the submission, liked it and paid $2,000 for a novel now considered a masterpiece and made into a film starring Robert Mitchum.

At an elite publishing house that included literary editor Gary Fisketjon and poetry editor Harry Ford, Green had a special interest in politics and history. He edited the Pulitzer Prize-winning "Founding Brothers" by Joseph Ellis, who in the introduction cited Green's reputation as "the salt of the earth." He acquired many works by Cold War dissidents, among them Andrei Sakharov's memoir and books by Milovan Djilas and Vaclav Havel.

Green's other projects included Cronkite's "A Reporter's Life" and a collaboration between Bush and former National Security Adviser Brent Scowcroft titled "A World Transformed." He also worked with historians Ken Burns and Geoffrey Ward and the novelists Ernest J. Gaines and Winston Groom.

A notable achievement was getting Garcia Marquez to join Knopf in the 1980s after a long history with Harper & Row (now HarperCollins). According to Al Silverman's "The Time of Their Lives," a publishing history, Green had heard that negotiations were stalled for Garcia Marquez's novella "Chronicle of a Death Foretold." Green contacted the Nobel laureate's agent, noted Knopf's history of publishing Latin American authors and acquired the English edition of his new book and many of his older ones.

Green's job required patience and firmness, especially when dealing with the famous. He waited years for Cronkite to finish his book and had to prod Bush and Scowcroft.

Barbara Bush, the former first lady, wrote in her memoir that her husband and his close friend "were the most reluctant of writers. I had loved writing my memoirs in contrast to those two, who suffered." Finally, Green and other Knopf executives arrived at the Bush home in Houston and urged them to "get on with it!"

We're live from Photokina 2012 in Cologne, Germany!

Germany just can't get enough of Engadget, it seems. Just two weeks after the close of IFA in Berlin, we're back in the land of Bier and Honig, for a camera-fueled journey to Cologne. This giant photography trade show is held only once every two years -- the last Photokina was way back in 2010 -- and it's arguably the industry's biggest event, drawing manufacturers the world abound to launch their latest prosumer and professional devices. We won't likely see a blockbuster product like Samsung's Galaxy Camera, but there could be another Android shooter or two in store, along with plenty of updates to last year's advanced compacts and mirrorless cams, and a modest spattering of full-frame DSLRs. We'll be bringing you all the news as it happens, so keep your eyes peeled to this very site to catch the action as it goes down.
