Back in early February, before CBS News investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson led the way for the rest of the mainstream media to the "Project Gunwalker" scandal, National Gun Rights Examiner David Codrea and the Sipsey Street Irregulars' Mike Vanderboegh were very nearly the public's only sources of information about this still-growing political bombshell. It was Mr. Vanderboegh, in fact, who on Feb. 4 strongly implied Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer's heavy involvement in the fiasco. In that post, Vanderboegh also revealed that the BATFE's (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) Mexico City attaché Darren Gil had vehemently objected to "walking" thousands of guns into Mexico, without the Mexican government's knowledge or agreement, and was overruled by Breuer:
For when he was called upon to deal with the lawful request of ATF Mexico City attache Darren Gil to inform the Mexican authorities of the smuggled rifles of Project Gunwalker, Breuer overruled Gil, the attache was forced into early retirement, and Bill Newell, The Phoenix SAC who had been in on this stupidity from the beginning has now been made the attache in Gil's place.
Mr. Codrea reported on this at about the same time. At that time, Vanderboegh and Codrea were drawing on their own sources for this information. Darren Gil had not yet come forward to the media (and Lanny Breuer certainly hadn't), so back then, those whose agenda was served by keeping this as quiet as possible could afford to dismiss the accusations (How did the Washington Post refer to Messrs. Codrea and Vanderboegh? "Anti-ATF bloggers sympathetic to the militia movement," or something?).

The current President obviously believes himself to be above the law. Not only that, he believes he should be above the law, and the all-pervading media enthusiastically agrees with him.
Just Eric The Coward taking care of his peoples.
Not just the current president. Bush attached many signing statements to the bills he signed into law preserving the power and autonomy of the office of the POTUS.
Obama is merely using/abusing the power Bush preserved.
Go deeper, I am sure you will get to one of DumBO’s kommissars.
All things are possible in this deal.
He also worked as Bill Clinton's defense attorney in one of the other numerous Clinton scandals.
Guy's up to his eyeballs in Clintonista stuff, which probably 'splains why and how the State Department got involved in this deal.
So, is this an attempt by Eric Holder and his running dog lackeys to further discredit the Clintons?
Bump & ping.
Just a refresher on Lanny Breuer:
Defended President Clinton on impeachment charges
Defended Sandy Berger on charges of theft from the National Archive.
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Why would SeeBS expose this? Something smells rotten here.
First, the MSM is not under direct control of a dictator. They act the way they do out of ideology and group-think. People at CBS may see this story getting out in the new media and think that it is worth while. They may see it as a way to reinforce the need for more gun control, because it shows weapons going to drug cartels. There is always the possibility of factions within the left working against each other for their own purposes. Much of the control of the left is very brittle. It depends on not being challenged in any meaningful way, of eliminating their opposition by defining them out of existence. It is much harder to do that with the new media and this story, which is quite compelling.
Who could behind such nefarious activities?
