Exclusive Special Report by Mike Vanderboegh and David Codrea
The source reporting Special Agent in Charge of ATF's Tampa Field Division Virginia O'Brien "ran a gun-running investigation that was walking guns to Honduras using the techniques and tactics identical to Fast and Furious" contacted these correspondents again this evening with this follow-up report:
O'Brien is in full meltdown. She ordered supervisors from around the Division to report immediately to division offices and to plan on working through the entire weekend on the coverup.
Her partner in the bungle was ASAC Scott McCampbell. At one point the case was ready to be wrapped up with arrests and remain relatively efficient but O'Brien and McCampbell decided on their own to keep it going to "get more" against the advise of thier field employees and the walked guns numbers got out of control.
OB is terrified that her intentional concealing of her walked guns is going to do her in since she disregarded orders to report to DOJ and Congress.
Nearly the same culprits above her are on the hook for this. Chait knew about it so did Hoover and Melson. The new player is DAD East Julie Torres. She took O'Brien's old DAD job when OB went to Tampa and has given OB carte blanche to do whatever she wants with little oversight.
Reportedly the shredders are buzzing.

Breaking News: Source claims ATF's Tampa SAC walked guns to Honduras
And there's a link there to this press release from 2010, which may go to explaining some things...
Is this the so-called “Project Castaway”? If so, can we expect that ATF used a different name for a variety of gunwalker cases dealing with different Central America and Mexico projects?
sneaky devil!
First thing you learn in news is “Who says so.” An unsubstantiated tip from one unknown person does not make a news story.
We need a lot more confirmation before assuming this is true.
I'm really concerns about this whole fiasco because it is an act of war against foreign countries.
If any other countries knowingly and deliberately allowed weapons into the United States... that said country would have been bombed to the stone age within 5 seconds.
How can any person who is sworn to abide by the Constitution of the US justify these acts without the approval of the Congress and POTUS?
She’d rather be jailed for that than for what that evidence would prove.
Death penalty for government officials that shred documents to cover up their mis-deeds.
Too harsh?
I think they are in the federal building downtown. I probably wouldn’t be allowed past security. I could stand outside with a sign though
The folks at this site have been on to O’Brien for a while. They sent a letter to Melson to stop the shredding. Here it is

So which one is O’Brien - the one in the middle?
TCFROL = Total Contempt For Rule of Law.
COOC = Completely Out Of Control.
NATASL = Not A Thought About Staying Legal.
ARI = Attempted Reichstag Incident.
STSA = Subverting The Second Amendment.
IPOIA = Illegal President Ordering Illegal Actions.
The one on the left. Here is where I found the pic:

People are dead because of what these fools chose to do.
Incompetent, politically correct, female careerists. Probably knows the last thing about weapons. How much was this idiot’s Federale paycheck? My guess is at least $150,000 Another drain on the taxpayers. Another useless eater
I hope they served a vagitarian friendly meal at that conference.
Hillary is going to be really pissed when she hears about this. You don’t suppose she reads the Examiner, do you? /sarc
Gunwalker = Watergate X Irancontra.
The MSM refuses to notice. It’s not a Republican scandal.
Welcome to the USSA. Pravda works for the state.
