OK, now I am officially intrigued.
Politics is fun again.

Time for an Independent Prosecutor?
ATF participants should be charged with abetting terrorism.
The President has staff assistants from the Chicago political machine. They were undoubtedly involved ~ the deal has every earmark of their method ~ "The Chicago Way" ~ where winners are selected for performance ~ like paying campaign bucks early and often.
The guns were shipped to people favored by the Obama regime ~ and those people won favor with campaign donations.
I'd include the half dozen Chicago commies he has on his staff, and maybe even Michelle ~ no one should be beyond investigation in this deal. In fact if you have the letter "c" in your name I'd put you on the list for field stripping and debriefing.
and the dominoes continue to fall....
Melson resigning is all well and good, but in addition to Holder being sent packing, all the guys in management at the Phoenix and El Paso offices should be canned and stripped of all benefits. Everyone who ordered the agents to “stand down” and just “make reports” when it was still possible to arrest the buyers and grill them for their Mexican connections, should have to pay for the murders that resulted.
Somebody needs to get a big batch of popcorn started.
This might get interesting.
If it goes higher, the best we can hope for is a czar to go under the bus.
A conservative would arrest and interrogate the straw buyer.
A liberal lets them make the deliveries, causing the death of hundreds and tells us that you have to break a few eggs to make an omlet.
Extend this to terrorism and the Obama Administration would sell a functional nuclear device to a front man who is going to deliver it to Al Qaeda, then waits until after the blast to determine what happened.
They’re untouchable
Issa's going to keep calling this "bad judgment" to lure them out, think they can admit to a screw-up and it's over. I don't think he will be using this nice terminology once he has outed those responsible.
Personally I believe this is a result of Obama’s self stated desire to build a domestic force equal to our military. I think he’s arming and equipping Mexican drug cartels with the goal of using them as his domestic armed force. I can’t believe the level of mistrust that I have for this administration that even makes me think of things like this. Obama has surrounded himself with the most corrupt and vile politicians in America and his assault on our constitution and American society must be stopped at all costs. He is evil to the core.
Melson needs to be offered a deal for a light sentence in exchange for testimony against Holder and Obama.
Human Events has a good article about the Administration’s apparent motives:

My two cents: The names that I’m waiting to hear are Eric Holder and Valerie Jarrett. Probably not Obama as the only thing he actually runs is his mouth (with apologies to Marion Berry).
So the question becomes, once Melson is forced to resign over this, will he sing like a canary to the Congress??
There is no possible way that an acting BATFE Director makes an operation like this one happen all my himself. No way, no how. This had to have been authorized at the highest levels of DOJ, if not the State Department itself. That means Premier Hussein himself knew about it too, and the lies appear to go clear to the White House.
Someone bet me a burger that Tom Donilon is in this up to his eyeballs....remember that Gates warned us about him....
IMHO, the Obama justice department found a way to provide weapons, under cover of law, to a cartel in exchange for a big pay-off. Follow the money.............
How much do you want to bet the ATF was funding the buyers? Why else would cartels pay top$$ for semi-autos when the real thing is available for less $$?
