The "Fast & Furious" scandal is getting messier and messier. New e-mails finally released late this past Friday reveal that the Department of Justice personal viewed the then-secret operation as a way to push for more gun control laws. Despite administration promises to the contrary, whistleblowers have endured "isolation, retaliation and transfer." Meanwhile the operation's managers have done pretty well, some have even received promotions.
Thursday Attorney General Eric Holder admitted that the operation was "wholly unacceptable," but he still offers absolutely no explanation to explain why the program was instituted.
What's going on here? Let's see...
- You have a government agency ordering gun dealers to make sales to suspected criminals that the dealers didn't want to sell to. - You have government agents testifying that the guns being purchased were not being traced. No attempt was made to even alert the Mexican government that the United States of America was given guns to drug gangs in their country. . . .

No, it calls out for criminal prosecutions.
One nmore friggin’ year....God help us until he is gone.
This scandal would have taken down Bush. Without question. It’d been looped 24/7.
Yet if you asked 10 people on the street today what fast and furious is, 8 would probably say it’s a movie or video game.
The media is absolutely corrupt.
The Obama Administration is the most inept Administration in my lifetime. If he were not part black he would be run out of town by his own party. The Democrats will sell America out because they could not win without the black vote and giving this country away. Obama was correct when he said America has become lazy and that is simply because government rewards laziness.
I still think it was an attempt to arm the Sinaloa cartel.
We all know what Fast & Furious was.
Unfortunately there are not enough of us.
As stated the Media is in it as bad or worse than the Obama administration.
America guarantees a Free Media, but our Media is not free, it is adjunct to the Obama administration. Our media is nothing more than a Democrat Propaganda machine.
Thanks richardb72.
Yes, but the ineptness was in getting caught, it is purely intentional to destroy America, and finding ways to disarm law-abiding American citizens, if they could, would be a major step. When I read posts on British forums calling for revolution and such, I’ve always wanted to ask them, with what, cricket bats?
“The media is absolutely corrupt.”
Therein lies the real enemy of this United States. The worthless POS squatting in our White House is merely a diversion.
(Sarah Palin 12... No One Else.) - I love it!!!
This admin gets to act with such extreme hubris because of the overplayed race card and the way folks are in fear of being thought of as intolerant racists. This lie-speak (correct term for PC) will doom us.
Much bigger and more important than Watergate, the media will never treat it as such so they can protect their boy-king and keep their status as the Democrat Party propaganda wing.
Prof. Lott writes, The problem is that if "Wide Receiver" failed in tracing the guns and was subsequently shutdown, why is the solution to not even bother to try tracing the firearms?
Will any MSM other than Fox dare to connect Obama and Holder to this?
Prof. Lott is a regular guest on the most listened to nighttime show in the world, George Noory's CoastToCoastAM. Millions of Americans could hear what the MSM refuses to report. But alas.. until there is some way to blame Bush and not his Obama "nonpartisan" Noory is not going to report it either.
Prof. Lott did mention gun walking (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHZWCOTdG1g first hour, Coast To Coast AM - 14.6.2011) but both he and Noory carefully avoided any connections other than ATF or "government" to the best of my recollection.
BTW, I guess Noory has cooled down a bit. I thought he'd banned Prof. Lott forever for failing to respect PRESIDENT! Obama enough.
I posted this about Noory's anger at Lott.
"For years Noory and his regular guests called G.W. Bush everything but president -- yet Noory got furious (literally) with Prof. John Lott for referring to Obama and not saying 'President Obama.' Noory demanded to know why. Probably Prof. Lott is now barred from the show. " I posted that Fri Oct 29 2010.
I cannot find a youtube or whatever of the show but it was shortly before that date. Recently Noory has expressed disappointment in the object of his affections but not enough to cry on the air.
Plenty of answers from Holder; he’s giving them out of both faces.
Also, I'll bet the RATs are scrambling to find just one Repub who went along
with this scandal so they can have a scapegoat. The new talking point has been
"the Repubs do it toooooo"..
bttt
The media, including movie makers and television studios are greedy money grubbers. They will and do sell their souls to the highest bidder. The highest bidders lately are communists. The protectors of liberty; the 4th branch of government; the free press, have been bought and are selling us out.
