....walking back Holder's playing of the race card after a ground swell of criticism.

These are Holder's own words:

"This is a way to get at the president because of the way I can be identified with him," Holder said, according to the Times. "Both due to the nature of our relationship and, you know, the fact that we're both African-American." New York Times

This is how the Holder Justice Department is reinventing what Holder said:

A simple reading of those comments show he was referring to how he is identified with the president given their close relationship and all they share in common including their ideology.

According to the House committee investigation, a number of murders in Mexico (some published sources say that number could be over 200) are attributed to the weapons of the Holder Justice Department's "Fast and Furious" project. That number includes dedicated U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry. Not a faceless statistic.....Brian Terry, a patriot serving his country and an American. In a cowardly defense of his role in "Fast and Furious", Holder attributed the intense backlash on him to his relationship to the President and because they are "both African-Americans".

Why is Holder interjecting race in the Fast and Furious tragedy? Fast and Furious is about guns and murder facilitated by Holder's Justice Department, not race.

Why is Holder not being held accountable for his own words?

Why is it necessary for the Justice Department propagands and spin machine to restate what Holder meant?

Why is Holder still the Attorney General?
