I have heard references on a couple radio shows that 200 Mexican citizens were killed with Fast & Furious guns. Why is this not more newsworthy?

The libs would much rather have everyone talk about someone other than Brian Terry, like for instance, Jerry Sandusky.

"Brian Terry and Jaime Zapata. "

This is what totally tees me off, the presence of allegations of the death of Jaime Zapata being constantly ignored, overlooked, and not even mentioned in any of the coverage, even much of it on FR. I don't really know much about the circumstances of Jaime's death/murder at the direction of our very own justice dept/white hut, but I think it's time the country found out. I kind of wonder if Jaime would have been so completely ignored by almost everybody if his name was Darvon or Treyvon instead of Jaime.

Then there was “Project gangwalker” (Not its real name) that was allowing guns to walk to the Chicago gangs. Wonder how many of the steady stream of bodies there are a result of this administration.

Liberals don’t care about Mexicans. Now if they cross the border and become “hispanics,” then they matter to liberals.

ICE Agent Jaime Zapata was also killed with a gun from Project Gunrunner.

ICE agent's family files wrongful death claim against Justice Dept.

While the weapons found at the Zapata murder scene were not from among the Fast and Furious guns, this revelation is profoundly significant, because it directly contradicts sworn testimony by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.

“I have no information to that effect, no. I don’t know one way or the other,” she replied to a direct question on any Fast and Furious connection by Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas.

Word games. Here's the little trick Napolitano, Holder and ATF are playing. F&F was an ATF operation run out of the Tucson AZ office. But some guns were walked out of Texas gun shops which puts them in the jurisdiction of Texas ATF offices so those ops must have had other names. So far I have not seen any reporting on what those op names were.

Armored SUV could not protect U.S. agents in Mexico

U.S. investigators recovered one of the military-style semi-automatic weapons used in the attack that killed Zapata.

The gun came from Texas.

Ballistic testing of spent shell casings and the raising of an obliterated serial number revealed the weapon was a popular Romanian-made AK-47 knockoff purchased at J&J’s Pawn Shop in Beaumont, smuggled south to the Zetas by a methamphetamine trafficker named Manuel Gomez Barba, a U.S. citizen.

BP Agent Brian Terry was not the only Federal agent killed by guns allowed to walk by the ATF-DoJ.

ICE Agent Jaime Zapata and his partner, Victor Avila, were ambushed at a fake roadblock in Mexico. Were they set up? If so by whom?

Same here. THe Grassley letter posted yesterday has many details. I’ll ping you to the thread or just follow my posts for the past couple of days.

Are you aware that his family and LEO partner filed wrongful death suit against the DOJ within the same 24 hours that 0 declared the EP? Coincidence ?

Here’s the letter:

The actions may have different names but the rules are the same. The source of authorization is the same. Now Holder is between BaROCK and a Texan.....Put you money on the Texan.
