Exclusive Special Report by Mike Vanderboegh and David Codrea
The source reporting Special Agent in Charge of ATF's Tampa Field Division Virginia O'Brien "ran a gun-running investigation that was walking guns to Honduras using the techniques and tactics identical to Fast and Furious" contacted these correspondents again this evening with this follow-up report:
O'Brien is in full meltdown. She ordered supervisors from around the Division to report immediately to division offices and to plan on working through the entire weekend on the coverup.
Her partner in the bungle was ASAC Scott McCampbell. At one point the case was ready to be wrapped up with arrests and remain relatively efficient but O'Brien and McCampbell decided on their own to keep it going to "get more" against the advise of thier field employees and the walked guns numbers got out of control.
OB is terrified that her intentional concealing of her walked guns is going to do her in since she disregarded orders to report to DOJ and Congress.
Nearly the same culprits above her are on the hook for this. Chait knew about it so did Hoover and Melson. The new player is DAD East Julie Torres. She took O'Brien's old DAD job when OB went to Tampa and has given OB carte blanche to do whatever she wants with little oversight.
Reportedly the shredders are buzzing.

>> First thing you learn in news is Who says so. An unsubstantiated tip from one unknown person does not make a news story.
We need a lot more confirmation before assuming this is true. <<
An unsubstantiated tip from one unknown person is sufficient cause for a judge to issue an arrest warrant which authorizes a SWAT team to take your front and back doors off at the hinges, kill your dogs and scare the crap out of the wife and kids.
Journalists are just following in the footsteps of LEO’s.
Methinks even the state controlled media will start reporting this (not holding breath).

Do not underestimate the brazen contempt the media holds us in. If EMP took out all electronic devices in America, and it happened on a Democrat Administration, the media would just kinda miss that particular story. Whoopsie.
Sooo,
Does ye think Holder Clinton and Obammy all knew and approved of this?
If so will it cost any their job?
I bet Dick Nixon is laughing in his grave about now.
It’s mind boggling how effective the MSM news boycott is.
If they don’t cover it, it doesn’t matter, right?
Welcome to the USSA, comrade.
You’re not serious are you. Who is going to prosecute her?She’s more likely to wind up like the female ATF agent in Sons of Anarchy.Shot by some meth dealing MC as a favor to higher authority.
FEDERAL Marshalls? Who knows but what they weren’t in on the cover-up. Right now, as far-reaching as this is becoming, I’m not sure anyone at the federal level can be trusted.
Except maybe the military.
Rush talked about ‘Fast and Furious’ yesterday. This story may get his interest and comments.
At least Rush has a lot of listeners.
Rush’s audience is “the conservative choir” who already knows about it. Ditto FOX, talk radio, FR etc.
Seems a bit far fetched to me.
The source site (Gun Rights Examiner) and the companion site (Sipsey Street Irregulars) have been all over this scandal for months. Their regular scooping of info is for the very purpose of shining the light of truth on these cockroaches. Mike Vanderboegh and David Codrea have been successful getting agents TO talk because they are the only ones exposing this stuff.
The Lamestream reluctantly finally report on this stuff months later only because it has been thoroughly reported on in the blogosphere.
Mike Vanderboegh in particular seems to foster contacts within the BATFE and get this insider info and then exposes it daily.
By very publicly proclaiming these criminals are shredding evidence, career agents might be emboldened to come forward and confirm and/or produce non-shredded documents to Congress.
You may be entirely right. My only concern is that these days, way too many people believe anything posted on the ‘Net.
If it’s true, it’s a great story. If it’s false, a woman has been libeled.
We shall see.

You may have seen this.
We could start hitting all of the newspaper discussion forum pages. Some information might be seen by some before they ZOT the message and messenger.
A lot of people in these federal agencies ratted on Melson, Holder and Obuggery to Congress. That’s how we got here.
Cool! Anything to let them know you know.
Except maybe the military.
Especially not the military. Anything above Captain is purely political. Anything at flag level is most likely anti-American and serves faithfully and blindly even if the CiC was Satan himself.
Sodomites destroying moral in the military? No Problem. Bring it on, we will force those who have a problem with it into reeducation camps and put black marks in their record.
New ROE that gets soldiers killed? No Problem. What general gives a tinker's dam about a soldier's life when that pension and title are so much more important?
We have an illegal war in Libya where true Americans are put at risk and the military brass simply goes along with this un-Constitutional war, happily supplying new words and rationalizations like "Kinetic Military Action" (KMA)
Need to kill some Americans hiding in a church from a trigger happy sadist government? No Problem, just make a phone call down to Fort Hood and get some tanks and helicopters up here in a jiffy to immolate women and children in their home to satisfy the blood-lust of a rogue Attorney General.
Need to protect the military career of a Jihadist Muslim who is in regular friendly contact with terrorist units? No Problem, let him bring a gun to work and murder dozens of soldiers, and then treat him like Saudi Royalty for his trouble.
The entire government is anti-American and is the ultimate mortal enemy of We The People.
