Taken at face value...? Mr Holder does such an abysmal job of selecting and managing his immediate staff and keeps himself so distant from bad news that he should not hold the job of Attorney General.
The only other conclusion I can see is... there was some was serious lying going on to IG investigators.
"We found it troubling that a case of this magnitude and that affected Mexico so significantly was not directly briefed to the Attorney General. We would usually expect such information to come to the Attorney General through the Office of the Deputy Attorney General . . . [Holder] was not told in December 2010 about the connection between the firearms found at the scene of the shooting and Operation Fast and Furious. Both Acting Deputy Attorney General Grindler and Counsel to the Attorney General and Deputy Chief of Staff Wilkinson were aware of this significant and troubling information by December 17, 2010, but did not believe the information was sufficiently important to alert the Attorney General about it or to make any further inquiry regarding this development."
Hey, it was just mostly dead Mexicans, right? Well, there was that Border Patrol agent, but hey, cops are there to get shot at, just like soldiers. Omelet, eggs, right?
"As we describe below, we identified information regarding Operation Fast and Furious that reached the Office of the Attorney General in 2010 but not Attorney General Holder himself."
The Justice Department didn't hide the report on their website - but they sure don't point to it.
