You couldn’t see that tongue buried in my cheek, huh.
Blame = responsibility and with this administration responsibility remains a take your pick proposition.
Perhaps there would be less confusion if Holder would come clean under oath before congress - don't hold your breath.
See below to potentially connect the dots from BATF to U.S. Northern Command to Justice to WH. My comments were meant to be a play on the testimony wherein William Newell, former Special Agent in Charge of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosive’s Phoenix Field Division emailed this man, Kevin O'Reilly, US Foreign Service, Director of North American Affairs, US National Security Council, about Fast and Furious and guns being moved to Mexico. The emails took place reportedly 3-4 - or more - times per year or whenever O'Reilly "reached out" to BATF.
"You didn't get this from me..." was Newell’s now famous limitation before sharing information with O’Reilly.

Page 2 - paragraph 5 of Executive Summary:
"Over the past few years the White House, the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security and even the U.S. Northern Command have developed various strategies and policies designed to leverage the full capabilities of the U.S. government in this effort. It is essential that our efforts support the strategies and policies of the President and the Attorney General and where possible, complement the strategies of other agencies.“
A snip of a news story from CBS below…probably dozens of similar reports online.
“At a lengthy hearing on ATF's controversial gunwalking operation today, a key ATF manager told Congress he discussed the case with a White House National Security staffer as early as September 2010. The communications were between ATF Special Agent in Charge of the Phoenix office, Bill Newell, and
White House National Security Director for North America Kevin O'Reilly. Newell said the two are longtime friends. The content of what Newell shared with O'Reilly is unclear and wasn't fully explored at the hearing.”
