When are they going to call Holder to testify under oath? Has he done so already. I mean, he either has to spill the beans and tell the “truth”, or he goes to jail for “perjury”? Which is it?
When is this going to happen? - or has it already happened?
I wonder if this rumor has been floated so that the cartels will eliminate potential witnesses? In other words, put the word on the street that the gun runners were snitches and the cartel will take care of the problem. That way, no gun runners can be called to testify and the story gets covered up.
It is SOP for spy agencies to pick up one of the enemy’s agents and then let the word leak out that they turned the guy into a double agent. The enemy would then kill their own agent for us.
I never believe anything I see in the MSM. If they print the truth, it’s an accident.
Well, I suppose we should be thankful the LA Times is covering this, but I think this sentence is giving Holder credit for something he doesn't deserve. I remember reading here that an e-mail surfaced showing the real reason was to have an excuse for more and stricter gun laws in the US.
BATFE allowed firearms to be sold to FBI informants with money from the Stimulus Plan.
Both agencies are under the DOJ......Eric Holder.
That's how I read it.

This stinks, but then anything ATF touches is crap. Proof once again; like attacts like.
It was the only way they could assure the guns would be paid for with U.S. taxpayer money...
Read somewhere that, at one time, nearly half the KKK were paid FBI informants. Dues paid by the FBI’s informants were what kept the KKK going...
Probably the same situation here.
This is like Obama’s own little Iran-Contra - except this is worse.
And still not a peep from Drudge...
This was Holder using ATF to take a fall through the FBI setting them up.
I have said this since day one as everyone here was screaming disband the BATF .. As I tried pointing out, you would be left with the FBI to investigate all duties of ATF if they were disbanded. People were okay with that here though and jumped all over me.
In reality, you have had no FBI agents come forward, they are doing just what the Justice Department wants even now. However many BATF agents have been removed, fired or punished for whistle blowing trying to expose this.
FReepers need to wake up. Just because BATF deals with the second amendment rights they are treated as a group that should be disbanded. In reality, that agency is far more approving of guns in lawful owners hands than FBI would ever be.
Be careful what you wish for .....
