Napolitano and Clinton ‘Gunwalker’ reactions simply not credible
Gun Rights Examiner ^ | 1 November, 2011 | David Codrea

“Congressional Republicans are trying to expand the scope of questions over the disastrous ATF gun-sting operation ‘Fast and Furious’ to Homeland Security Secretary Janet A. Napolitano, asking her why she never investigated even after suspected guns showed up at the scene of a dead U.S. Border Patrol agent,” The Washington Times reports.

“Napolitano responded that her immediate concern was finding the killers of Agent Brian Terry and that she didn't know until the spring of this year that there were indications his death involved weapons that were part of the federal gun trafficking probe,” Politico explains.

The first day of Spring was March 20. Napolitano had already testified on Gunwalker before the Senate Judiciary Committee on March 9, but let’s give her the benefit of the doubt here—after all, Attorney General Eric Holder evidently doesn’t see much difference between weeks and months when it comes to recounting timelines under oath.

Take a moment and go through the list of publicized developments that took place before the Secretary’s epiphany of enlightenment, chronicled here by bloggers operating out of their homes, and ask yourself if it seems credible that the head of Homeland Security, with the awesome power and see-all surveillance of the federal government at her disposal, just did not have a clue about Gunwalker. If that’s truly the case, we are entrusting nothing less than the domestic safeguarding of the Republic to an incompetent.

And then ask yourself if it seems credible that, with two agents under her jurisdiction dead, she wouldn’t even ask AG Holder what the hell was going on, OIG investigation or not.

I don’t believe her and neither should you.

Clinton also in the dark?

You're right. She has seemed a little 'edgy'.
It's like she's going through withdrawal ;-)

Do they expect us to believe this wasn’t the implementation of Obama’s “under the radar” gun control objective?

Holder, Napi, and Barack are knee deep in this.
The mistake in the questioning has been narrowing the subject to specific titles such as “Gun Walker” or “Fast and Furious”. The questions need to be broad enough to cover the entire practice.

Do NOT let them equate the Bush practice to the Obama practice!!!

Bush policy allowed A FEW guns to go South AND THEN TRACKED THEM!
Obama policy PUSHED THOUSANDS THROUGH WITH NO INTENTION OF TRACKING THEM!!

The bumbling, ill-informed, one hand not knowing what the other is doing appearance that this administration is trying to portray regarding F&F is the exact opposite of the truth. Interdepartmental memos are flying back and forth through secure channels regarding damage control, getting stories straight, plugging leaks, and lining up fall-guys.

Arizona Sheriff Says 2 Guns Found in Bust Linked to ‘Fast and Furious’

Published November 01, 2011 | Associated Press

An Arizona sheriff says that two guns seized as part of a major drug smuggling bust have been connected to a botched federal investigation known as “Fast and Furious.”

“Fast and Furious” was a controversial Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms’ investigation that lost track of up to 1,400 weapons that were sold in Arizona gun stores to suspected straw buyers for Mexican drug gangs.

A number of guns have been recovered at crime scenes in Mexico and two were found at the scene of a Border Patrol agent’s death.

Now Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu says two more “Fast and Furious” guns have been seized in Arizona from members of the Sinaloa cartel, Mexico’s most powerful.

The US Ambassador to Mexico resigned in March, 2011. I doubt it was because he was banging the daughter of a PRI party functionary and/or criticized GOM’s uncoordinated law enforcement efforts....

There are three scenarios or combinations of scenarios under which Napolitano’s and Clinton’s excuses make sense: They are either hopelessly unqualified for their positions, deliberately indifferent to the point of gross criminal negligence in their dereliction of responsibilities, or else they’re lying participants.

Nitty gritty bump.
