Attorney General Eric Holder will chastise Republicans for “cynical finger pointing,” in the course of the investigation into the flawed ATF Fast and Furious operation, according to excerpts of his testimony the Justice Department just sent out to reporters.

Holder will also note that this is the sixth time he has discussed Fast and Furious during a congressional hearing. House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) has threatened to hold Holder in contempt for what he says is DOJ’s refusal to cooperate with the congressional probe of the matter.

The full excerpts are available here, and TPM’s full coverage of the Fast and Furious scandal is available here.
