It’s one of the longest running congressional investigations of our time: the probe into Fast and Furious. It was the government’s secret operation to watch … as thousands of weapons were trafficked to Mexico’s killer drug cartels.
In many respects, the story began when federal agent John Dodson agreed to an interview with investigative journalist Susan Attkisson in March 2011. It was highly unusual, if not unprecedented, for a sitting federal agent to speak out in such a strong way.
In the latest episode of “Full Measure,” Attkisson catches up with Dodson six years later.
Dodson: Part of my mission with the ATF in Phoenix was to combat a legal firearms trafficking to the Mexican drug cartels. Somehow, in order to achieve that goal, the strategy that had been adopted was to facilitate and allow the illegal firearms trafficking to the Mexican drug cartels. We were essentially flooding the border region with firearms from the U,S. civilian market, and then tracking and tallying the results as they were used in crimes on both sides of the border.
Attkisson: “We,” meaning federal agents, who are supposed to be stopping the trafficking.
Dodson: Yes, ma’am, meaning the federal agency that was in charge of combating that very thing.

Part of the evil of 0bama.
Obstruction of justice? Collusion with Mexican Cartel? Anyone interested?
Mexico should have been furious at Odumbass for giving guns to Mexican criminals.
There is no good reason for doing that. Their half-assed plan was to wait for them to be used in crimes so that they could demand gun control?
Come to think of it, it is just as stupid as any of his other ideas.
My guess is that hillary was involved way past her cankles. I think 0bama and hillary were planning to blame US gun owners and would do an international treaty with Mexico to outlaw US gun ownership.
It was Mike Vanderboegh and David Codrea who broke the story.
They worked hard to get the Establishment media involved.
Finally, Sharyl Attkisson was cued in by them.

Yup, all carried out by your then Attorney General Holder. To think this POS is considering a run for president is beyond the pale.
The Mexican government should charge Holder and then demand his extradition to face justice. I’m sure the Trump administration would look favorably on it.

Holder and Obama were openly begging Mexico to sue the gun companies in US courts.
And I frankly think there was more behind the scenes; they were colluding with one cartel to take down others, to the point of letting their shipments go through and arming them.
And don't forget there was a parallel program running guns into Honduras. This was about the time they were backing a rogue would-be dictator there.
Not just gun control. The lawsuits would have been worth billions to the law firms handling it.
It was obvious that it was a juvenile attempt to blame the 2nd Amendment when actually Obama's administration was responsible for the flow.
Holder needs to be hauled back in for obstruction of justice in a criminal case himself. There are so many criminals associated with Obama and the left. Nothing ever happens to any of them.
..yet
Donald Trump needs to start arresting people. There is no statue of limitations on murder, let alone mass murder.
