Secret recordings raise new questions in ATF 'Gunwalker' operation
cbs ^

Posted on 09/19/2011 10:36:44 AM PDT by sunmars

WASHINGTON - CBS News has obtained secretly recorded conversations that raise questions as to whether some evidence is being withheld in the murder of a Border Patrol agent.

(Scroll down to listen to the audio)

The tapes were recorded approximately mid-March 2011 by the primary gun dealer cooperating with ATF in its "Fast and Furious" operation: Andre Howard, owner of Lone Wolf Trading Company in Glendale, Arizona. He's talking with the lead case ATF case agent Hope MacAllister.

The tapes have been turned over to Congressional investigators and the Inspector General.

As CBS News first reported last February, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives allegedly allowed thousands of weapons to "walk" onto the streets without interdiction into the hands of suspected traffickers for Mexican drug cartels in its operation "Fast and Furious."

The conversations refer to a third weapon recovered at the murder scene of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.

Agent: I was ordered to let guns into Mexico

Court records have previously only mentioned two weapons: Romanian WASR "AK-47 type" assault rifles. Both were allegedly sold to suspects who were under ATF's watch as part of Fast and Furious.

It’s unclear why the Inspector General, who is supposed to investigate independently, would turn over evidence to an entity that is itself under investigation. The Inspector General’s office had no immediate comment.

Because under this admin, IG's who don't play ball end up losing their jobs.

Goldman Sachs people never seem to leave regardless of who is in office (CFR also). This administration is full of Clinton recycles, like Holder. The Clinton/Bush thing is getting old.

In the last three or four weeks, CBS has been dogging this story like nothing else.
I remember when CBS was the gold standard of broadcast news. Yeah, it was in the 1940s and 50s...

They’ve gotten the nod to take barry out....

My wife's been saying for a year and a half that barry is a one term President and that he knew it when he went in.

Soros and crew promised him one term and a boat load of cash, and he'd get the entire demonRAT congress behind him for as long as they lasted.

When it's time to go, he'll step aside {he discovers he has cycle cell anemia} and they will run the bitch.

They really think that we will all be gaga over hitlery and so glad to get rid of obama, that even the independents will vote for her.

I agree. Where is the poll so I can cast my vote?

I think the MSM has been so in the tank for this president that even they are shocked at the misdeeds, the rampant Chicagoland thuggery that they know about.
I think they think Obama is now a liability to them and they may turn on him and support Hilary. I could be wrong, but this is one of the most corrupt administrations in history and the MSM has covered for them at every level. He should be impeached and the MSM should be prosecuted for failure to properly inform the citizenry of the criminal behavior that’s so obvious.

See B S? Ut oh, something is just not right. LA Times, Pittsburgh R&T, even the St. Pete Times (Pravda west), have ran stories. Many others (Fox, Tampa Trib, etc.), have also run stories on Fast & Furious, Gunwalker, etc..

This could be the beginning of the democRAT party throwing 0bama under the bus, that he enjoys throwing others under.

Let the games begin...

I’ll be MORE amazed if CBS actually BROADCAST this. They don’t have to, they can say they reported it and look all fair and balanced, while sucking up to Obama on air.

>Depends on who made that tapes...the ATF scumbag or the dealer....

The dealer, according to this: “The tapes were recorded approximately mid-March 2011 by the primary gun dealer [...]”

why they weren’t bugged with GPS

Makes no difference. Even then, Brian Terry would still be dead.

Popcorn time...I was ordered to let the guns go to Mexico. WOW.

Meanwhile, the “dope” dealer in the white house is surrounding himself wih “czars”...they are nothing more than heat shields.

How difficult and expensive would it have been for our government to imbed these technical spying devices inside wooden AK stocks, or inside an AR15 plastic buttstock?

Very difficult, very expensive, very dangerous to the dealer, and what does it get you? The one that they actually put in a gun, the batteries ran out half way down into Mexico. So, you can say the gun went to Mexico.

Not the most helpful thing in the world.
