Any time a firearms-related thread is created on FreeRepublic, please be sure to add the "banglist" keyword to it so that interested FReepers don't miss it. Just a suggestion.
Let Freedom Ring,
How about a name for the source?
Ah, a WaPo hit piece using unnamed sources. Pay attention to this Mr. and Mrs. America and not all that nasty business with selling guns to narco terrorists.
In a ‘real’ government, “Fast and Furious” could bring down a president.
</sarcasm>
After over 50 years of activism I am more surprised when the sneaky barstards ARE NOT trying to pull a crooked deal.
How many closed door meetings did they shut out the Repubs?
BTW, this supposedly happened in April, 2010. The Republicans were still in the minority then. any objection that Issa could have made would have been ignored. But, now he has the power...
When presented with facts regarding what/who you normally trust, it can take a while to process the information to the point of concluding it’s “felony-stupid”. Also, when you realize it is you may also realize that speaking/acting on it requires extreme care and planning, lest you choke on your own foot or are rendered metabolically challenged by the accused.

Let Freedom Ring,
Issa must be getting very, very close
Let’s hope this smear backfires and makes Issa even more determined.
On the other hand, it shows Issa why he should live 100% pro 2A and gun rights, everyday, because your radar goes up the moment they want to "brief" you, and you'll catch 'em out.
Congress was briefed on an operation Holder and the head of the ATF didn’t know anything about?
Oh, ok, since an unnamed source didn’t care, it must have been ok. /s.
Here's proof: On every US news site where commentary from 'Operation Fast And Furious' is permitted, up until today the discussion has been dominated by RKBA proponents aghast at the BATFE's crimes. Democrats have largely been silent, hoping that this all go away.
Now this article comes out and you'll see the Democrats finally come out swinging as if this story actually means something, when it doesn't.
It is time to appoint an Independent Prosecutor.
Of course, the pro-Obama pair of WaPo writers don’t KNOW what Issa and others were actually BRIEFED on because the ATF refuses to SAY!!!!
Other than that, the standard WaPo “circle the wagons and attack the accusers” bit of Clintonesque methodology works just FINE, don’t it baby??!!
The clear implication of that statement is that some official in either the BATF or in the Justice Department has leaked confidential information to the Washington Post in an attempt to interfere with the oversight responsibilities of Congress.
Where are "the authorities" on this issue - surely there is at least one felony involved in that act.
Even if true, do they think that makes it OK for the government to ship guns to drug cartels that are ised to murder innocent people including border patrol and US citizens?
Using WaPo’s logic, it’s apparently more wrong not to stop a heinous act than to commit one.
Weak DOJ attempt to hit back at Issa using its WaPo surrogates. Who do they think they are fooling?
