Thanks
Great timeline...thanks for posting it.
Ping for the list Nachum.
You can add this to who knew what and when.
Re-post
I’ve been doing the who knew what and when searches on the internet. This is the earliest reference I can find on the term “Fast and Furious”.
http://www.justice.gov/usao/az/press_releases/2011/Fast_Furious_Map_ATF.pdf
If you load the document, right click, and pull up the document properties, you’ll see this document was created on 1/21/2011. (this is the earliest reference I’ve found so far)
Quite a few months before Holder said on May 3rd, that they’ve only heard about “Fast and Furious” for the first time a few weeks ago.
I saw the source and almost fainted. Then I looked closer and noticed it was CNS News....not CBS News.

Definitely pingworthy
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Another who knew what and when.
Press release dated 1/25/2011
“This investigation is further proof of the relentless efforts by Mexican drug cartels, especially the Sinaloa Cartel, to illegally acquire large quantities of firearms in Arizona and elsewhere in the U.S. for use in the ongoing Mexican drug war,” said Bill Newell, Special Agent in Charge of the ATF Phoenix Field Division. This investigation is also further proof that the ‘straw purchase’ of firearms continues to be a significant problem and that those individuals that knowingly falsify ATF firearms forms in order to supply Mexican drug cartels with firearms have as much blood on their hands as the criminals that use them.”

WOW....good find! Typical leftist scumbag. Still trying to lie even after the scope of this treason by our own government is being revealed!
But CBS DID air this on 2/23/11

bump for later...thanks
Very nice. Bookmarked.
Was that the original breaking of the story? I’ve been looking for that.
Thanks for the ping....I’ve been looking for something like this.
In the MSM, I believe so. Root around that CBS site, I believe there is a Part II .
While swearing they’re both pure as nuns,
seems Obozo and Holder ran guns.
Down to old Mexico
did these firearms go
and their hubristic plot simply stuns.

this is looking more like holder trying to aid drug mafia than anything else. chicago must have a piece of this action.
Maybe the checks from the FED will quit rolling out around Aug. 2. Now that might take “good taser-kill” out of the headlines.
Thank you.
