For months, congressional investigators have battled a recalcitrant White House and Department of Justice over Operation Fast and Furious, a conspiracy that had the apparent goal of sending thousands of guns from American gun stores into Mexico. Recovery of the guns could be used as evidence to support the Obama administration’s 90-percent lie — and perhaps even serve a more nefarious goal.
That deception seems to be collapsing, as the long suspected proof of other gunwalking operations was confirmed by Sharyl Attkisson of CBS News:
An administration source would not describe the Tucson OCDTF case. However, CBS News has learned that ATF’s Phoenix office led an operation out of Tucson called “Wide Receiver.” Sources claim ATF allowed guns to “walk” in that operation, much like Fast and Furious.
“Wide Receiver” joins Operation Fast and Furious as the second named gunwalking operation based in Arizona, but they do not appear to be the only gunwalking operations that existed.
The White House has so far refused to answer inquires from Senator John Cornyn about two other suspected gunwalking operations based out of the Houston and Dallas field operations areas. Additional gunwalking operations supplied drug gangs in Honduras from Florida, and supplied Chicago-area gangs from a gunwalking operation in Indiana.
While administration officials have stuck to the cover story that these were law enforcement operations, there was never any possibility of them working. There were no mechanisms to track the weapons, personnel were ordered not to make arrests, and there was never any possibility of U.S. agents affecting arrests in Mexico.

I haven't seen anyone saying this but it is my feeling that the O Presidency is turning out to be one of the most corrupt, immoral, nefarious administrations ever.
Wow. That makes me so mad! Seriously, 100 years ago this criminal commie would have been tried for treason!
Congratulations Obama and Holder. You just completely de-legitimized any and all gun control laws and efforts in the US. You’ve also instigated possible international incidents, committed acts of war against our national neighbor, and you’ve infringed on the Rights of American citizens through false arrests, trumped up charges, 2nd Amendment violations, 4th Amendment violations and flat out committed Treason!
If you had any morals and dignity at all and cared for this nation at all, you’d resign immediately or you’d work to make matters right by repealing existing laws that you violated for your political efforts. Then you’d resign. To call you a disgrace to our nation is an understatement. Thanks to you however, we will not tolerate any kind of future gun control. You blew it. You have no idea how angry the average gun owner is over this. You lied and cheated to make BS statistics to support disarmament and you got caught. This nation will not be disarmed so give it up now.
The Criminal Commie Clinton got away with treason, so why does anyone think Obama won’t get away with his crimes?
It’s like living through the 90’s all over again.

"While administration officials have stuck to the cover story that these were law enforcement operations, there was never any possibility of them working.

The Obama administration had a direct line of communication to updates about a plot carried out by one of its agencies that had the apparent goal of supporting one of the president’s favorite lies. It is unquestionable that the plot implemented to support this lie shipped thousands of weapons to the Sinaloa cartel and contributed to the deaths of many on both sides of the border, including U.S. law enforcement officers."
Why did obamma authorize these schemes? What is the advantage he was trying to accomplish? Does not make sense to me. Was it under the table money he was looking for?
The purpose of this crime was to create the appearance of an epidemic of US guns flowing into Mexico. This would give Obama the pretext to sign the UN gun ban treaty (after Harry Reid an company ratified it).

Input needed. Have now started a new ping list called BORDER WARS since so many of these stories are starting to intersect and overlap. I would like to keep the Gunwalker threads separate. Let me know if you want on the Border Wars list. It will NOT be the same as Gunwalker, though they might overlap occasionally. Please ping me to any articles you think fit in this catagory. Thank you.
Thanks, Travis.
LucyT, FYI
Wow this is a huge find! I hope someone gets this to Rush since the DBM will never ever go here.

Thanks, MM. I'll be offline until tomorrow evening. Keep on pinging; we'll catch-up eventually.
Consider this
About 2500 guns were supplied to cartels from the Phoenix.
Assuming half that many numbers of guns were supplied by each of the other operations, of which we know of about 7 others SO FAR. That means the US Government enabled the purchase of over 10, 000 guns that were illegally purchased and transferred illegally to Mexican Drug Cartels RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A MEXICAN VIRTUAL CIVIL WAR BETWEEN THE CARTELS AND THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT.
Because of the sheer volume of guns sent over the border, this goes way past a simple law enforcement sting and amounts to the deliberate arming of Drug Cartels with enough weapons to equip a serious army with more troops than we now have as peace keepers in Iraq.
