The whistle blowers are in protective custody I am sure so maybe this Melson guy needs to be as well?
To: Nachum
Let the falling dominoes continue to fall. Hopefully Melson will tell all he knows. These fiends not only need to be fired - all the way to the top - but face serious charges and receieve serious prison sentences.

They were spouting off how 90% of guns in Mexico came from the US just before this operation started.
Interesting "coincidence", huh?

From the Washington Examiner,
Don't make Melson a Fast and Furious scapegoat
............"That Melson should be removed is obvious, as should other senior ATF officials in Washington and in the field. But Gunwalker could not have gone as far as it did without the approval of senior Justice Department officials, including Attorney General Eric Holder, which is why The Washington Examiner last week called for Holder's resignation.
Holder should have stopped the program as soon as he found out about it if he was aware of it. And if he didn't know such an outrage was being perpetrated on his watch, he clearly isn't up to the job of managing the Justice Department."..............

Not good enough. Melson and everyone in the chain of command should stand trial as accessories to murder.

The operation allowed illegal gun purchases Some weapons ended up in the hands of Mexican cartels That makes it sound like some unintended consequence, when in fact that was the whole purpose of the program.

Yeah, they were illegal gun purchases and export...how is this not a violation of the arms export control act? Weapons were going to terrorists which is one of the tenets of the act. Of course the pissadent could have made a finding it was not a violation. Maybe someone should ask him about that on his twitter account.

To: Girlene
Sad thing is they probably still haven’t stopped the program as the Assistant AG under Holder was asked under oath if the program was still on going and he said “I DON’T KNOW.”
Obama Holder Napolitano and Clinton can’t say it was a classified operation as th Assistant AG led to believe under oath as if it was and we are missing something to explain this that is classified they would not be firing Melson.They just dropped their hand again.(As Assistant AG did under sworn testimony when he said the executive branch.)
To: Mouton
LOL I needed that laugh. Obama has a twitter?
To: Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!
Not good enough! Too easy to throw a sacrificial lamb under the bus. What did Holder know and when did he know it?

What I’ve been trying to dope out is whether any of the gun dealers got written letters of immunity from the gummint. No one below Holder could have written such a thing and the dealers would have been klazy to participate without something in their back pocket. The dealers really stuck their own necks out to he helping gunwalker knowingly. I hope Issa gets to these questions because this alone can nail down how high the stink goes.

Holder will offer him the same deal he proposed to Carl Cooper ~ either he goes along and takes the fall or his wife and mother in law will be sent to prison for life and his children will be adopted out to strangers.

This is NUMBER 3 for this bunch of fascists: first Ruby Ridge, then Waco, now Gunwalker. That’s enough. We need to clean house. I’m sharpening a pitchfork and keeping a truck gassed up. But I need a little help.

Resign? WTF for?
This guy was just following orders, and now his career is destroyed.
I swear, I am going to do everything to empower Conservative Candidates like Perry and Bachmann to ensure that Obama is nothing more than a damn One-Term loser.

As an Adjunct Professor at George Washington University that puts him in the camp of such other GWU personalities as Greg Craig, Castro's lead lawyer in the Elian Case.
Hmm.
Which casts a whole 'nuther slant on things ~ is Cuba behind the deal?
