Attorney General Eric Holder criticized Rep. Darrell Issas (R-Calif.) years-long congressional probe into "Operation Fast and Furious" as little more than an effort to "suck up to the gun lobby," according to internal emails released Monday.

The Justice Department released nearly 65,000 pages of subpoenaed documents related to the DOJs botched gunrunning sting, after a federal judge overruled the Obama administrations decision to withhold the records by invoking executive privilege. The program, which targeted Mexican gun cartels, came under scrutiny after weapons involved in the operation were connected to the killing of U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry in 2010.

"Issa and his idiot cronies never gave a damn about this when all that was happening was that thousands of Mexicans were being killed with guns from our country," Holder wrote to members of his staff in April 2011, after Issa threatened to subpoena a Federal Firearms Licensee witness to testify on the investigation. All they want to do -- in reality -- is cripple ATF and suck up to the gun lobby," he continued, referring to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the branch of the Justice Department that was in charge of the gunrunning operation.

"Politics at its worst -- maybe the media will get it," Holder's email added.

Issa, who heads the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has accused Holder and other top Justice Department officials of refusing to disclose confidential materials in an effort to cover up knowledge of risky gun-walking activities related to the failed ATF mission.

Justice Department spokesman Brian Fallon said the sought-after documents only further confirm that neither Holder nor other top department officials knew about the tactics used in the operation until CBS News broke the story in early 2011.

"There is nothing in the materials produced today that contradicts what the Department has said in the past about this flawed operation," Fallon said in a statement Tuesday, according to The Washington Post. "Indeed the materials produced today affirm the Inspector Generals finding that the Attorney General was not made aware of the tactics involved in the Fast and Furious operation until February 2011."

A 2012 investigation by the Justice Department's Office of the Inspector General also concluded that Holder was not aware of the gunwalking strategy and cleared him of allegations of a cover-up.

Still, Issa said on Tuesday that the disclosure was evidence of Holder and President Barack Obama "illegitimately and illegally" withholding evidence from Congress. The congressman cited redactions of certain sensitive law enforcement information as cause for further investigation.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Newly released emails show Attorney General Eric Holder said that Justice Department prosecutors who were critical of the department's handling of the fallout of the Fast and Furious gun-walking scandal could "kiss my ass."

Operation Fast and Furious was a botched effort by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to track firearms across the Southwest border. Revelations about it created a political firestorm, leading to congressional investigations and turnover within the ATF and Justice Department.

The Justice Department selectively provided a batch of emails this week to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. The Associated Press obtained the emails on Friday.

House Republicans, who have subpoenaed for thousands of emails and went to federal court for access to the documents, have long promoted the idea that Holder and other top-level Justice Department officials knew that federal agents had engaged in a risky tactic known as "gun-walking."

The Justice Department's inspector general found no evidence that Holder was aware of the tactic, in which ATF agents tried to track the flow of illegal guns from the United States into Mexico but instead lost track of many of the weapons.

In one email from March 2011, after being sent a news story about the Fast and Furious investigation, Holder told staff, "I hope there is another side to the story." Later, after the ATF deputy director assured Holder aides that "we did not allow guns to walk," Holder responded to staff with, "Do they really, really know?"

That August, Holder was told by staff that about 25 U.S. attorneys was upset that the resignation of Dennis Burke, then the U.S. attorney in Arizona, was announced simultaneously with the reassignment of ATF Acting Director Ken Melson. Holder wondered "why wouldn't we get the benefit of the doubt. Assume we're doing things for the right reasons and in the right way."

Holder later added, "Some people can kiss my ass."
