The Clinton Administration loudly boasted, out of the blue, for no particular reason that the would be “the most Ethical Administration in History”. History now shows that Clinton recruited cronies to his Administration that were some of the most unethical and outright criminal ever to occupy the white House and teh Clinton Administration as a whole is now considered to be the most unethical Administration in modern times. The very term “The Most Ethical Administration In History” is used as sarcastic, derisive reference to the many scandals and stories of corruption that were brewing during the Clinton Years
The Obama Administration Loudly boasted that it would be the “The Most Transparent Administration in History”. I don't think anyone needs to be reminded how that whole transparency thing has worked out with this Administration whose signature trademark is stone walling, cover up and a bizarre refusal to release even the most trivial and basic back round information and documentation On Obama personally.
Now we have Holder Boasting he was going to “take down the Drug Cartels” when in fact he has been deliberately and systematically diverting a huge amount of the resources of the Department of Justice from fighting the Cartels to actively arming them with enough US supplied weapons to arm infantry Battalion.
He even went to the trouble of allocating 10 million dollars of stimulus money to purchase the weapons for the Cartels.
Ironically, the vast majority of these trafficked weapons purchased with money intended to stimulate the economy and provide jobs for out of work Americans were actually manufactured in factories located in old Soviet Block countries such as Bulgaria, Romania ,Yugoslavia, and Russia.
It's hard to see how providing foreign made weapons to Mexican Drug Cartels could provide economic stimulus to America and provide much needed jobs to American workers so the stimulus money was pretty much misappropriated and misallocated to an unapproved use not intended by Congress in addition to simply being used to fund ill advised and probably illegal criminal misconduct on the part of very high level government officials Fast and Furious was not just wrong on many different levels, it was pretty much wrong on every possible level.
Doing things wrong is really a pretty easy thing to do, but getting everything wrong at every level takes a special kind of willful and possibly malicious, intent.
This did not happen by accident or due to incompetence. A lot of hard work by smart and clever people was done to make Fast and Furious happen and it did exactly what they intended it to do.
These same people worked just as hard to cover up their work to make sure no one ever discovered what had been done. Had it not been for the fears that a F&F gun had been used in the Gabrielle Giffords shootings, the use of multiple F&F weapons, including the actual murder weapon, in the murder of Border Patrol Agent Terry and the subsequent attempts by the FBI,BATF and DHS at cover up, and the BATF Agents who exposed the operation the whole thing would have been covered up.
If it were not for the election of a Republican House of Representatives no investigation would have been pursued. To this day, the Democrat Senate is working hard to block investigation of F&F and to cover up for the Obama Administration. The Media is working even harder to keep a lid on the story and deflect blame away from the guilty. When they can't deflect or hide they try to spin any damaging evidence in the most favorable light to the guilty.
That post was simply outstanding. Well said.
