(GunReports.com) — A story in Roll Call notes that a little-noticed provision of the Issa-issued documents subpoena targets the White House, specifically naming Eric Schultz, a communications aide hired to respond to media inquiries on oversight matters.
According to the Capitol Hill newspaper, the subpoena demands “all communications” to or from Holder and 15 other top Justice Department officials on Fast and Furious, as well as every weekly update memo to Holder on any topic over a nearly two-year period. Issa contends that Holder may have learned about the program much earlier than he has acknowledged, and the California Republican been conducting a blitz of media interviews making that point.
Roll Call also reports that the subpoena requires Holder to produce “all communications between and among Department of Justice (DOJ) employees and Executive Office of the President employees, including but not limited to Associate Communications Director Eric Schultz, referring or relating to Operation Fast and Furious or any other firearms trafficking cases.”
