This is international. NOTHING this big happens without full knowledge of, and permission from, the whitehouse. NOTHING. obama signed off on this. There is no way the DOJ or ATF could have done this on their own, let alome apprropriate money from other government agencies.
I agree. I don’t buy for a minute the fact that Zero didn’t know about this. Zero knew full well.
Interesting report from the LA Times:
“On Wednesday, Mexican federal police released a videotaped interrogation with recently captured Jesus Rejon Aguilar, an alleged founder of the Zetas gang there who is wanted in the slaying of a U.S. immigration agent in Mexico. He brazenly told them that “all the weapons are bought in the United States” and that “even the American government itself was selling the weapons.”
He added, “Whatever you want, you can get.”

I’d like to see Issa investigate any quid pro quo between the cartels and the Obama Administration....like campaign donations, etc. The dems have long had drug money in their coffers...it is time to expose it for all of the American people to see!
Ding, ding, ding.
We were wondering how high this went. I'm wondering (given the new info that funds transferred between departments) if the answer MUST be Obama.
As the quoted poster points out, how else would money migrate from one cabinet agency to another?
That's actually not a rhetorical question, as I'm not an expert on government machinations. Here's what I'm wondering:
Is there any means for a significant sum of money to be taken from one agency and given to another without the executive (i.e. Obama) having any knowledge?
I'd love to know the answer to that.
