Congressional investigators reviewing the failed gun-tracking program Operation Fast and Furious have formally asked the Obama administration to turn over copies of "all records" involving three key White House national security officials and the program, other ATF gun cases in Phoenix, and all communications between the White House and the ATF field office in Arizona.
The letter signed Friday by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Vista), chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and Sen. Charles E. Grassley of Iowa, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, was sent to National Security Advisor Thomas E. Donilon, a top aide to President Obama.
It marks a significant step in the committee's investigation into the failed gun-tracking operation, as the committee begins to broaden its investigation from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and targets White House and Department of Justice officials.

Thank you!! These guns were intentionally distrubuted for carnage and the progressive anti-gun propagandistas. MSM
Nailed it.
Either it was an outright arms-smuggling operation, or a “sting” which required random deaths for success. Either means some very powerful people very high in government need to go in very small cells for a very long time.
Thanks for the post-missed it prior.
Duplicate threads often disappear.
I prefer to not receive my news from social networking sites.
Why not use the direct link to the LA Times article?
Although this is a duplicate post, this case needs maximum exposure.
Realistically folks; could this be Obama’s “Watergate”. I friggin’ hope so.
That’s a very well made point. Thanks for posting it.
Where is the new Howard Dean?

You’re right. Besides, some of us aren’t on FR 24/7 and this is the first we’ve seen it. It does need maximum exposure.
Do you mean John Dean?................
When Sec. Clinton’s first act was to meet with the President of Mexico and apologize for US guns ending up in his country instead of complaining about drugs from his country ending up in our country — then you know that it was a planned course of action decided in a Cabinet meeting at the White House and she was not acting on her own.
And I can hear the rationale for this in my head. "Well, they're killing people anyway. We might as well take advantage of the situation and turn it to our benefit."
Or in the words of one Rahm Emanual: "Never let a good crisis go to waste."
YES! Finally!
The book is about a gun-controlling left winger occupying the white house. Two years ago I would have considered the events described in the book to be extremist fiction with no chance of ever really happening. Now I'm nowhere near so sure.
Crap.
THIS IS GETTING HUGE
Thanks
Agreed. I could see Palin having this an issue of the corruption of this administration for the campaign and she does know how to put it. But is she running?
