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?
----------------------------------------------------------
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.

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.

In 2010 Obama and Janet Napolitano were claiming 90 percent of the illegal firearms in Mexico were coming from the U.S. Interpol said the figure was closer to 80 percent.
To justify more federal gun control laws the Obama Administration decided it needed to increase the flow of U.S. firearms into Mexico—a move the ATF leadership went along with. That’s what the Obama version of Fast and Furious was all about. It was to intensify gun violence in Mexico with weapons that could be traced to the U.S.
The Mexicans figured this out immediately and considered indicting AG Holder.
