That didn’t take long:

House Republicans are going to call for a special counsel to determine whether Attorney General Holder perjured himself during his testimony to the House Judiciary Committee on Operation Fast and Furious, Fox News has learned.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith, R-Texas, is sending a letter to President Obama arguing that Holder cannot investigate himself and will request a probe by a special counsel.

The question is whether Holder committed perjury during a Judiciary Committee hearing in May. At the time, Holder indicated he was not familiar with with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives program known as Fast and Furious.

Judiciary’s call for special counsel comes after documentation surfaced yesterday that indicated Holder was getting weekly briefs on Operation Fast and Furious, and that senior Justice Department executives were well aware that these operations were walking guns into Mexico.

I am glad CBS Pick this up and ran with it ......... claims of Racism and Hatred from right wing talk radio / news outlets falls by the wayside, if it is a 'main stream' news outlet

I'm amazed at how this entire administration just thinks they can do whatever they please by screaming racism. I hope that FINALLY Holder is accountable for all he's effed up.
