Imagine a scenario in which the media outlet most afflicted with Barack Obama Sycophancy Syndrome (BOSS) – the place Chris ‘thrill up my leg’ Matthews calls home – presented a ’smoking gun’ that could implicate the Obama White House in a cover-up akin to that of Watergate but with the added scarlet letter of murder. The notion of such a thing would be like Woodward and Bernstein ignoring Deep Throat. Impossible, right? Yes, unless it did so unintentionally.
It looks like that honor may just go to none other than Michael Isikoff who, in September of 2010, wrote about an ATF strategy that involved targeting gun dealers in the United States as a means to prevent weapons from ending up in the hands of Mexican drug cartels. Included in Isikoff’s article is a link to what Mike Vandergoegh of Sipsey Street Irregulars – who unearthed this amazing find – refers to as the “field manual” of the Project Gurunner scandal that led to the murder of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry last December.
The “manual” was leaked to Isikoff as the Justice Department’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) was wrapping up a report that was critical of the ATF’s efforts to stem the flow of weapons to cartels. Ironically, that same OIG is what Obama and Holder point to as the entity that is to conduct a thorough investigation into the origins of the scandal it appears to be involved in at some level.

The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list

As we've been saying all along, this was not directed by some low level regional ATF guy.
Let’s hope the investigators in Congress have this information. I think things are heating up.
Oh, I am sure they do.
Our job here is make sure there is a large supply of popcorn on hand....
I hope this will have wide spread coverage in the MSM.
This is a disgrace that the Justice Department knew that Guns were allowed to pass into Mexico unstopped by ATF...... Thank “God” one ATF Ageent had enough Courage to bolw the Whistle !!
Watch the Video of ATF Whistleblower of “Project Gunrunner Scanal”

Eric Holder should be removed from the Justic Department.... This is even more extreme than Eric Holder’s dismissing the Voter Intimidation case against the Black Panthers
Look for Holder resign soon. Time for the Bamster reshuffle the deck.
First Congress needs to take Eric Holder down and then go after Obama...
ping
Thanks for the ping!
Great ping! Thank you.
PING....This scandal could cause a Holder resignation and seriously damage Obama’s campaign in 2012!
Where is the MSM?...I recall how much they loved to report ‘whistle-blowers’ when a Republcan was in the White House!
I guess we’ll have to do the job for them!
Bump
“a cover-up akin to that of Watergate”
Ha! Makes Watergate look like j-walking. Strange this doesn’t have legs yet, but it will.
[ATF allowing mass shipments of guns to Mex cartels.]
I don’t know if I’d read that much into the quoted phrases. Any operational plan put out by a government agency reporting to the executive branch is going to naturally state that the plan is there to support the objectives of the executive branch. I mean, what else are they going to say? Somehow, “despite being in disaccord with the Attorney General and the President” doesn’t seem to be likely, does it?
So, by itself, it really doesn’t seem to me to implicate anyone higher than the specific office who wrote it, or a higher office if there’s a supervisory approval noted. That is, it’s Mark Chait who bears responsibility for this, unless it can be shown that Holder and/or Obama knew about the specific policies.
Walpingate is also equal to Obama’s waterGate. As well as NBP’sGate. TerroristMirandRightsGate. So many crimes such little time and people to expose him.
I really think Cain could if Obama makes it ti re election as no one could call Cain a racist.
Aye, these are traitors!!
Hopefully this will continue to gain legs. I’m sure Daryl Issa and his gang are quite absorbed in getting to the bottom of it.
There is no legal way to order a business to do business they know is illegal. The ATF had to be using the blackmail intimidation of threats to put these dealers out of business and/or prosecute them on trumped up charges. There are some Federal felonies right there.
