In Operation Fast and Furious, the Obama administration ordered gun storeowners to illegally sell thousands of guns to criminals.
U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry was murdered with one of these guns.
The murderer was sentenced to 30 years in prison, but his accomplices, Barack Obama and Eric Holder, havent even been arrested or charged.
In May 2016, it was reported that newly released documents from the Department of Justice suggested that guns from Obamas Fast And Furious program had been linked to at least 69 killings by Mexican drug cartels.
In September 2012, Obama said that Fast and Furious had begun under the previous administration. In reality, Fast and Furious began in October 2009.
Bush and Obama each had a program where the U.S. government put guns into the hands of Mexican criminals. Bushs program was called Operation Wide Receiver, and Obamas program was called Operation Fast and Furious. However, there were three major differences between the two programs:
First, Bushs program was carried out with the knowledge, permission, and cooperation of the Mexican government, whereas Obamas program was not. Mexican attorney general Marisela Morales told the Los Angeles Times that she first learned about Obamas program from the news, and said, In no way would we have allowed it, because it is an attack on the safety of Mexicans.
Secondly, many of the guns used in Bushs program contained radio tracking devices, whereas most of the guns used in Obamas program did not. In addition, under Bushs program, U.S. federal agents followed the guns to see whose hands they ended up in, whereas with Obamas program, U.S. federal agents were ordered not to do this.
Third, Bushs program did not cause any known deaths, whereas Obamas program did.
In April 2016, it was reported that the Department of Justice had illegally ignored a court order to turn over certain Fast and Furious documents.
In October 2013, the ACLU announced that it would be defending John Dodsons first amendment right to free speech, against the Obama administration, which was trying to prevent Dodson from publishing a book about Obamas Fast and Furious scandal.
Obama illegally ignored Judicial Watchs Freedom of Information requests regarding Fast and Furious.
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder illegally refused to release 1,300 pages of information on Operation Fast and Furious, even after he had been subpoenaed to do so.
On October 3, 2011, CBS News aired a story by Sharyl Attkisson which showed that Attorney General Eric Holder had lied under oath regarding Fast and Furious. The report can be seen at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JaDEShZIvQ
On October 4, 2011, Holders top press aide, Tracy Schmaler, wrote the following in an email to White House Deputy Press Sectary Eric Schultz:
Im also calling Sharryls [sic] editor and reaching out to Scheiffer. Shes out of control.
Schultz responded with an email that said:
Good. Her piece was really bad for the AG.
Afterward, CBS made it harder and harder for Attkisson to do reports on Fast and Furious, and she eventually quit her job at CBS.
In my dreams
Somebody go wake up Rip Van Sessions, run this idea past him.
Can we settle for treason?

Should hang Obama for his ‘War On Cops’ and ‘Resistance”.
As well as the murder of ICE Agent Jaime Zapata.
They should be held responsible for EVERY murder resulting from the sale of those guns.
