Has anyone said “WHY”??? - this was allowed to be done?
So the Asst. AG is going to fall on the sword for holder and barry.
Fake, but accurate ping?
Gun walker is definitely heating up. It is now Gunrunner :)
If we speed up anymore on this it may become gunsprinter...
Ping!

THEY allowed it. They are the justice department. I think they were trying to stoke the notion that most of the guns used in mexican violence were coming from the U.S. Remember there were stories in the MSM about lack of gun control on the border. I think Holder just wanted to help things along, then it all went bad.
From Wiki
“ATF Project Gunrunner has a stated official objective to stop the sale and export of guns from the United States into Mexico in order to deny Mexican drug cartels the firearms considered “tools of the trade”.[16] However, since February 2008 under Project Gunrunner, Operations “Fast and Furious”, “Too Hot to Handle”, “Wide Receiver” and others (all together satirically dubbed “Operation Gunwalker”),
One more issue that will never, ever be brought up at a ZERO news conference.
It’s both. From Wiki

Yep. They’ve got their fall guy. He’ll be forced to resign and live happily ever after.
in the near future.
Yeah, right. Looks like they're joined at the hip in this photo.
Hey Newbie... here’s a story you may not have heard about.
I have read about this for months now.
well, whoever, wherever in the world to get bombed/whacked better get their affairs in order...bambam and holder are gonna need a distraction, and quick...
So, let me get this straight - the ATF/Justice Dept allowed this to happen to make it look like the Mexicans were 'getting guns from inside the USA' and thereby 'make it look like we need "MORE GUN CONTROL" in the USA?? - do I have this warped rationale right?
That may have happened in the old days. He won't be forced to quit. These guys don't care.
Since when do organized criminal thugs need a "WHY"???
It's just bidness... just like the rape and pillage of our financial infrastructure ala the Useful Idiots who got in bed with them by signing the dotted line on their Liar Loans.

They Deserve to be taken advantage of - just like the dumba$$ consumers who facilitate the "MMJ" drug trade, right?
Gun, drugs, Liar Loans - it's ALL just bidness.
