Chris Wallace Interviewed Darrell Issa on 'Fast and Furious'.WALLACE: Congressman, I understand that you are going to issue a new set of subpoenas to the attorney general this week. About what?
ISSA: About "Fast and Furious" and basically, at this point, about why are they denying knowing about something that they were briefed on? Exactly when the American people want to know how did it happen? Understand, we didn't start off going after the attorney general or Lanny Breuer or anyone else in justice. We started off knowing that Brian Terry was dead, that a lot of --
WALLACE: The U.S. border patrol agent.
ISSA: The U.S. border patrol agent. And that a lot of weapons have been let to walk.
After that, we started being told things like by the Justice Department designated official that we never let weapons walk.
Now, we have literally e-mails in which they are concerned about so many walking and you said something and I don't mean to correct you -- but to expand. We didn't just have a few not be tracked. The whole program was about not tracking them until they were found in the scene of crimes. And they didn't just allow. They facilitated just one guy buy, one straw buy, over 700 weapons.
WALLACE: So, specifically, what are your subpoenas about?
ISSA: We want to know what and when they knew it. But more importantly, we have to understand -- at what level of the authorization really come? It wasn't an ATF operation. They were part of that. It was a joint operation in which DEA knew more than ATF.
