Oh boy, this could get interesting. There were multiple gun walking programs and Holder / Obama knew nothing about them?
Yeah, right ...
What possible ideology could the installed associates and cronies of a US President have for running guns to criminal cartels amd marxist revolutionaries?
Mexican cartels get heavy weapons from Central America, U.S. cables say
F&F was a very well thought out plan.
Better check out New Orleans office........ Guatemala?
It’s going to take a very long time to repair the damage of obama and company.
People are getting killed, currencies on the edgeof crumbling and He’s not even qualified to be there.
This would be on the news 24/7 if this happened under a Republican Administration. Indictments, impeachments, everything!
I know this comment is getting old but just d@mn!
Beginning to look like "aiding and abetting" is the only answer left.
I remember when they were trying to demonize US gun dealers because so many guns sold here were ending up in Mexico...
That was their excuse for wanting to imposing tighter gun control.
I think this thing spun out of control from a “Blame the US” for all the guns to whatever they are claiming now
D@mn.......–verb (used with object) 1. to declare (something) to be bad, unfit , invalid, or illegal. 2. to condemn as a failure: to damn a play. 3. to bring condemnation upon ..
This word was created to fully describe the Obama Adm.
One of the BATFE officials slipped in his testimony, alluding there may be other programs outside Phoenix.
This now confirms one other.
It would be logical to assume there are Texas programs and possibly New Mexico and California programs as well.
If this program is so large, it will be impossible to contain it as a BATFE program only.
Limbaugh thinks it was to gin up support for gun control. I agree.
Silence on the hourly news from ABC. Press operation Fat and Silent.
Back-dooring weaponry to south and central America perhaps? Keep them out of our reach until he needs them? Or, is obama trying to raise a standing army to the south to blindside us, with a few central American dictators pitching in their support. Wouldn’t put it past him. Obama has national-socialst-fascist written all over him.
What kind of country is my teenager going to have? What kind of future under these Marxists will she have to endure?
G-d Help us!
Well it’s starting to look like the ATF is really just a gunrunning operation. Seems it was system wide. Obviously the Justice Dept has worked hard in the last 2 years to corrupt LE agencies.
Okay, I’ve had enough of this crap. Government agencies are being used to advance an agenda to deprive American citizens a Fundamental Civil Right. All holy hell is going to break loose if A. this crap isn’t stopped immediately. B. Current laws on the books are not brought into line with the McDonald and Heller decisions. C. Any new anti-gun laws are passed.
I think the citizens of the US are getting just a bit sick of the assault on our freedoms. I know I am.
Wil Obama and Holder turn on each other, go down together, or get off scott free together?
