Too little too late.

The fall guy has been chosen.

[MetaThought]

Hopefully only the first of many.

Note to Obama: Nice try. Won’t help.

I assume Holder’s job is safe.

[gaijin]

Killed agents, attempted to subvert the constitution and so the sorta top guy must CHANGE JOBS..?!!

That sounds like some type of joke.

2 America’s —seperate and unequal.

Washington (CNN) — Kenneth Melson, acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, is expected to resign under pressure, perhaps in the next day or two, in the wake of the ongoing controversy over Operation Fast and Furious, two senior federal law enforcement sources said Monday.

In the operation, straw buyers were allowed to illegally purchase large numbers of weapons, some of which ended up in the hands of cartels in Mexico.

Attorney General Eric Holder will meet Tuesday with Andrew Traver, head of the ATF field office in Chicago, about potentially serving as acting director of the agency, according to the sources.

The Justice Department refused comment.

The operation has come under intense criticism since the December killing of a U.S. Border Patrol officer.

Operation Fast and Furious was “a colossal failure of leadership,” Peter Forcelli, a supervisor at the bureau’s Phoenix field office, recently said.

The program focused on following people who legally bought weapons that were then transferred to criminals and destined for Mexico. But instead of intercepting the weapons when they switched hands, Operation Fast and Furious called for ATF agents to let the guns “walk” and wait for them to surface in Mexico, according to a report by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

The entire ATF from top to bottom should resign. Every single employee and jackboot.

[El Cid]

People were killed due to this deliberate act to get guns into the hands of the Mexican Drug cartel ... with the expectation that people would get killed (and then to use the results to 'spotlight' the claim that American firearms fueled these drug war deaths - and thus drive the ATF's objective to deny American citizens access to firearms).

This wasn't homicide due to negligence, this was homicide as an expected outcome of the ATF actions. Resigning one's job should just be a precursor to prison time.

Resign?
What ever happened to falling on ones sword?

It’d be sweet if Melson rats out his boss Eric Holder.

[savagesusie]

Holder has to go....This is just an underling.

[rokkitapps]

probably announce a resignation and then just keep the job like weiner..

[clamper1797]

Sacrificial lamb

[Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears]

And for some reason, when I click the link, Drudge has now determined that a story on airports seizing snowglobes is more important that this.

What?????

[thecabal]

Big whoop. One stooge replaced with another, yet the subversion of our rights carries on while barely hitting a small pothole in the road.

If the GOP had any kind of principles, they would defund and disband ATF, but since they are just the Judas Goat to get half of us to walk the garden path to the totalitarian stockyard, they won't.

Report on Melson ouster further boosts confidential source credibility

[Joe Brower]

Looks like a scapegoat has been chosen and will now be sacrificed with all due alacrity, so that the corrupt bastards who are really behind this whole bloody scheme can get off scott-free.

Their media lackeys will decry the "heartless persecution" from the Republicans and pretend like the whole affair is now over, so that their political taskmasters can continue to move ahead with the agenda.

Taking a fall for the gipper, aka Eric Holder

[AD from SpringBay]

Scapegoats - one goes free and the other gets sacrificed.
