The new acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives announced a major shake-up of his agency Wednesday and urged Washington insiders to “calm down” about the latest revelations surrounding a controversial ATF gun operation.
B. Todd Jones said calm is needed as he begins rebuilding the beleaguered agency, including shuffling top personnel. He made his comments as his boss, Attorney General Eric J. Holder Jr., came under fire this week from Republican lawmakers, with one calling for a special counsel to investigate Holder’s role in the Fast and Furious gun-trafficking operation.

Shake up my ass. People need to go to jail!!!
fyi
The Washington Post carries the water for the DNC and liberals -— AGAIN.
In case you didn’t know, the Washington Post is an accomplice in this case!
Back in 2010, the WaPo ran stories about a particular gun shop being the source of the supposed “iron river” or firearms flowing into Mexico.
Unfortunately, the WaPo story was based 100% on a BATFE source. The reporters never checked the story out.
It turned out that the dealer was cooperating with the BATFE and was ordered to sell firearms to straw buyers under Fast & Furious. The dealer’s attorney provided proof to the WaPo.
The retraction was buried (as usual).
This is how the Obama Administration was planning to set us all up. Let the guns walk by ordering the dealers to sell them, then use the media to point the finger at US dealers as the source of illegal firearms in Mexico.
This is why the White House screamed at Sharyl Attkisson....she was straying off the liberal plantation that the NYT, ABC, NBC, CNN and WaPo were still on.
For the White House to believe the media would cover for murder is an incredible event! It shows how close to the precipice we stand as a nation.
The differance between the two is there was no one killed with the guns under Bush and there have been plenty of killings under Obama.
Of course, the reporter writing the story forgot to include that detail.
“Calm down about Watergate,” said Nixon.
New ATF Director “Calm Down”. Yeah, Good Luck with that.....
There are murders involved here. Are you trying to be complicit, idiot?
Hell, I bet you the reporters DID check the story out, and found out it was a scam to subvert the Second Amendment in popular opinion. Then they smiled widely, and knowingly, and ran the stories the BATF asked for -- twice as hard.
Here is what Sharyl Attkisson claims was said to her by Eric Schultz:
Attkisson said he had “literally screamed at me and cussed at me” about the story, and that the White House also told her that she was the only reporter not being “reasonable” about the issue.
A bulldog reporter from CBS.
There was a time when CBS was the gold standard in broadcast news...
Yeah this will make it all go away; unbelievable!
Two Americas, two different sets of rules.
“Red” America, the one that, in a curious inversion of the language, has come to mean the more traditional and conservative faction, does not always have a say in the writing of the rules, and mistakenly has thought in the past that the law applied equally. Thus, a Republican that gets caught in a scandal has no option but to resign any appointed or elective post, and face whatever consequences that are written in the existing law.
“Blue” America seems unable to recognize any limitations on their “rights”, many of which were never recognized anywhere in the Constitution, and they glory in applying the letter, not the spirit, of the law when it suits them. Of course, when neither the letter or the spirit of the law allows them a given latitude of action, they simply ignore it and do as they want, seemingly unaware of any consequences.
But the Universe neither forgets nor forgives transgressions that attempt to diminish the God-given rights enumerated in the Constitution, to life, liberty and “pursuit of happiness”, a code for property ownership.
The ultimate plan to protect the Administration from prosecution.
Obviously a liberal and follower of Obama.. so now the Administration and the MSM can start screaming "Racism! Racism!"

“Calm down”? A trail of bodies and this is his response? Are you kidding me?!
“New ATF Director “Calm Down”. Yeah, Good Luck with that.....

More than murder and accomplice to murder, and more than illegal arms trafficking, violations of international law, and all the crimes involved so far in the cover-up: This is treason - an orchestrated attempt by Obama, his corrupt administration, and his global handlers to use willing Federali and media accomplices to over-ride the 2nd Amendment, preparatory to a takeover of the nation.
Treason.
These Dems have always had a media that protects them. Now that at least one network is investigating the administration’s ties to murders of US border agents and US citizens, the Dems don’t know what to do.
Doom on the lot of them.
