Top Department of Justice officials had extensive knowledge of and involvement in Operation Fast and Furious, claims a new report released Thursday, hours before Attorney General Eric Holder's scheduled testimony to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

The report released by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, top lawmakers investigating the botched gunrunning operation, claims Justice Department officials in Washington and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were involved in the coordination in the early stages of the operation.

Something I’m curious about: are these proceedings getting much attention in the Mexican media?

I certainly hope so, because it’ll take away a big chunk of hispanic votes for Zero when word gets around.

I think it was an intentional effort to arm the Sinaloa cartel.

It certainly looks like that is the case, but what advantage would they get from doing that?

Obama can pardon them until the cows came home. The crimes were committed in Arizona and violated state laws as well.

I doubt the Governor of Arizona is going to let any of Obama's criminal gang run loose.

He probably ought to be careful traveling to AZ again.

Holder lied, people died. Obama lied, people cry. I just sit and sigh and watch the nation die.

"The Mexican government wants them for something like 300 murders too!

That's the part that no news organization wants to touch. Whether it's 50 or 500, nobody in the journalism business cares.

If the Sinaloa becomes the defacto monopoly, there should be less bloodshed due to no competitors.

The MSM cares. A number of them will be on the extradition list ~ they were publishing articles about this program BEFORE it started. They KNEW!

The MSM is reacting ~ not covering up ~ they are really afraid of this one.
