No, State ‘walked’ them across. The US walked them to Honduras instead.
There’s also the little matter of ‘no tracking devices’ in the Gunwalker guns, where there were in prior attempts.
Except they did, in this case, deliberately let it go. ATF agents following the purchasers were told in no uncertain terms to STOP and not pursue.
They didn’t tell Mexican law enforcement.
They didn’t tell local law enforcement.
They didn’t tell anyone but other Feds.
The ATF was (mostly) screaming that this operation was going to get people killed and it was a bad idea. DOJ told them to shut up.
We have also recently been running guns to Honduras, a place we basically have never had illicit gun trade with before now.
This was a win/win for the Marxist brothers in the WH. They were able to destabilize democracies, generate chaos, prove the need for gun control laws, drive honest gun dealers out of business, arm criminal insurgents and best of all make of government law enforcement a personal vendetta. Ain’t it great.
I watched his testimony. It was revolting.
Clinton was not punished for his crimes by a Republican congress.
The racial backlash alone will prevent Obama and Holder for being punished for this.
What is amazing to me is that there are people on FREEREPUBLIC that don't realize that OBAMA himself had to OK this operation.
The "this was a local operation" story doesn't fly either because if a local SAIC pulled this on his own he would be fired.
I missed most of the testimony but Cummings was calling for gun control at the last hearing where Brian Terry’s parents and family were present and Cummings forgot the murdered agent Terry ‘s name. The democrats are an enemy to this country.
” As much as I hate to say this, I hope this blows up in Barack’s administration.”
??? I hope you’re being sarcastic there.
This drawn-out debt ceiling drama is cover for BHO et al to take all attention away from this impeachable Holder/Obama scandal, which deserves more exposure and punishment (by far) than Watergate.
I don’t recall anyone here indicating that BHO isn’t ultimately to blame. But what can we do about it? Issa’s trying his best to pursue and follow this through to its ultimate source, but ALL media attention (except for Fox News at least somewhat) is focusing on the debt ceiling debacle.
This modern Reichstag fire will succeed as well because any attempts to punish the perpetrators will be branded as racist.
I had always avoided my fellow gun enthusiasts who spoke of coming “race wars” because they came across as white supremacist types.
I reject racism, but I see their predictions as accurate.
“The racial backlash alone will prevent Obama and Holder for being punished for this.”
Aren’t we getting sick and tired of being held hostage by reverse discrimination used to bully us into submission??? Same with CAIR et al crying Islamaphobia/denial of civil rights then suing the pants off anyone trying to protect their communities against radical Islam. Same with the anti-American, communist ACLU raising hell over any and all displays or practice of Christianity in our country.
Allowing ourselves to be constantly bullied by the bad guys and beaten into submission by scare tactics still won’t stop the gathering storm.
Between Cummings, Norton, and Maloney during this testimony... That has never been more clear.
They are the most disgusting form of human evil to have ever taken form.
U.S. returns 33 Mexican troops found in Texas...

Mexican troops involuntarily cross into US
MEXICO CITY — Mexico’s Defense Department says a group of Mexican soldiers involuntarily crossed into the U.S. after being unable to turn around on an international bridge.
The department says that the soldiers were on patrol along the border Monday when they crossed the new Donna-Rio Bravo International Bridge over the Rio Grande. It says the only return along the bridge is on U.S. soil.
In a statement issued Wednesday, the department said the situation was clarified with U.S. immigration authorities and the troops returned to Mexico.
Mexico has maintained a strong military presence in the border state of Tamaulipas, across the border from South Texas, since early last year, when the Gulf and Zetas drug cartels broke their alliance, unleashing a bloody turf war.
Not to mention a country where Obama wants the government overthrown.
Wrong. You can’t know the future.
You are wrong, brother.
I can know the future as predicted in the Word of God.
It does not predict “race” wars, so I cannot be 100% sure of that. There will be wars and rumors of wars.
Those of us blessed with discernment and visionary intellect are very good at predicting future happenings based on careful evaluations of past and present events.
Normalcy bias in the people of Germany allowed the unholy alliance of the government and media to destroy their country with it’s state sponsored racism.
It’s up to US to not let it happen here. The soap box and ballot box can only do so much after so many have been brainwashed by the “media” and “education” systems.
Even if you believe in your particular interpretation of the Bible, you still cannot know exact time or details about what will happen to the fiends int this administration.
If you consider yourself to have such find discernment and visionary intellect that you can accurately predict such future events with pinpoint accuracy, maybe you could make a list, post it and then afterwards it could be checked with what happened. That would be interesting.
Instilling defeatism by pronouncements of “this won’t happen, that won’t happen” as though looking into the future with perfect knowledge is worse than stupid.
