WLS Radio: Grassley saw memo to Holder from top aide approving Gunwalker

He says he has seen a memo from a top aide to Attorney General Eric Holder, approving a plan to sell guns to Mexican drug gangs, in the hope the sales would yield evidence of crimes in Mexico.  [More]
UPDATE:  WLS has pulled the quote from the story on their website about Grassley claiming he saw the memo. Mike Vanderboegh advises the recording does not contain such a statement. I am leaving this post as originally written rather than pulling it down.  Until this is cleared up, treat the original WLS claim as unfounded. I sent the link to this article to WLS reporter John Dempsey, saying "A clarification/for-the-record quote on why it said that would certainly be appreciated."
