Is Eric Holder holding back private e-mails about Fast and Furious?

eric-holder1Is Eric Holder holding back private e-mails on the whole Fast and Furious scandal? The Daily Caller mentions that a largely overlooked aspect from last Thursday’s House Judiciary Committee hearing where Holder was grilled included what seemed to be an admission from Attorney General Eric Holder that emails to and from him about Fast and Furious exist and he refuses to provide them to Congress.

“Most of the 5,000 documents you turned over are emails,” Issa said to Holder. “Mr. Attorney General, I have a question for you. Not one of these emails, in fact, is yours. Aren’t you a prolific emailer?”

Holder responded that, “No,” he is not a “prolific emailer.”

Issa followed up: “Don’t you email?”

Holder responded in the affirmative. “Do you have a personal email account as well as an attorney general email account?” Issa pressed.

“I have an email account at the Justice Department, yes,” Holder equivocated.
