    Thanks Glenn

    Eric Holder served as a spokesperson immediately following the raid. I tried to find the text of a press conference from that time, but could not.

    I have no idea if he was involved in the decision to raid the home. He certainly defended it in the immediate aftermath.

    One of the reasons I remember this is because of an answer he gave when asked if the INS agents found any guns in the home.

    He replied that he could not confirm that, which of course was a lie, since if any guns had been found, the public would certainly have been informed.
