You’re correct; the media and the (non-gun)pundits keep granting “good intentions,” but the structure of the operation screams otherwise!

At least now they have identified the biggest weapons trafficker on the Southwest border; it's the ATF. Now we just need to shut them down.

Indeed. Still, the amount of lying, obfuscating and finger pointing is enough to make you scream. Or pick up a pitchfork.

No surprise; no one expects the Obama Justice Department to be interested in justice.
To: DrNo
Perhaps the NYT will do an investigative story on this issue??

The only news outlet I find this on is FOX.
I really hope the media looks like as big a fools as Holder and Obama when this reaches it peak.

If the Bush Administration did this, then you can bet it would be all over the news every single night. The media and press would go basaltic.
However, since it’s Obama, then they pretty much ignore it and pay more attention to Casey Anthony. It’s to keep everyone distracted. Yes the case was interesting, but so are a lot of cases. Why is this more serious than Fast and Furious?

Let's see if I have this right.
Obama wants to throw Melson under the bus.
Then he wants to replace him with a man that is much worse than Melson.
Melson says the Justice Department is stonewalling. That pretty much means that Justice is the Department who was carrying out this plot, but we cant get the head of justice,because that is Eric Holder.
Holder has to be covered,because the next step in this plot is Obama.
Issa and Grassley are about to come into some real power,
They can probably be bought,but it won't be cheap.
I doubt we will ever see the bottom of this. Melson will be forced out but he is just fodder, the real plotters will skate. The White House is involved.

If this thing is ever fullt investigated and carried to it’s right conclusion, it will make Nixon look like a boy scout and Watergate look like a picnic.
