Yup. An they ID’ed an American guy who was helping the cartels illegally convert empty DEWAT grenade hulls to the active BOOM type. And they arrested him trying to take a huge load over the border, and then they simply permitted him to proceed.

In fact grenades have been a cartel favorite for about 3 years now, and it’s well-known down there, apparently.

SO:

1. there were thousands of guns
2. the FBI background check system was subverted
3. they made no attempt to track guns, indeed the budget did not permit for it
4. US officers were directly involved, cash was paid for the guns, no export licenses were sought
5. 200 Mexicans were killed with these guns, to include a helicopter taken down with a .50
6. multiple people at the WH did know, it turns out
7. the investigation might now include grenades also

WORST SCANDAL IN US HISTORY

Forgot:

8. the ATF gave off early signs of moving to “burn” the gun dealers whom they’d asked to help in F&F

9. Attempts were made to “dirty up” ATF guys who voiced any reservations about F&F and it’s potential to hurt innocent people

10. Bad agents who were shown to have lied in earlier congressional testimony ended up amending their statements, lying further in the process

You forgot the dead border patrol agent on your list didn’t you?

The part that the news is still not covering is the fact that as all this was happening, both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were giving speeches on how increased regulations on guns were needed because of all the guns that were being smuggled from the US into Mexico. This had to be a coordinated effort with Gunwalker. The US government conspired to fabricate fake evidence to support a fake case. People died because of it.

When the Gunwalker story broke, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama stopped pushing for increased gun regulation because they know they had been caught. These people need to be tried and convicted for these crimes.
