A new report by our partners at Univision has found additional links between violent crimes in Mexico and guns involved in the Obama administration's flawed "Fast and Furious" operation.

Fifty-seven previously unidentified weapons tied to the operation - allowed to "walk" across the U.S. border into Mexico so ATF agents could trace them - were later found at the sites of murders, kidnappings and at "two gruesome massacres," Univision's Gerardo Reyes and Santiago Wills report .

The reporters made the discovery by cross-referencing a list of guns registered with "Fast and Furious" and a Mexican government list of the roughly 60,000 guns recovered at crime scenes in 2009 and 2010.

“A new report by our partners at Univision..”

I wonder if he feels any shame about the “partners” on this side of the border sitting on their hands concerning this.

I had heard bout 2000 F&F guns supplied to Sinaloa and such but on the news yesterday I heard the announcer mention 60,000 such guns found at Mexican crime scenes. I thought I herd it wrong but it was repeated next hour. Did the newsreader get it wrong? or is Holder slipping out the number ahead of some revelation coming up?
