Bullet points from the excerpt/article:

"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....

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."

I remember commenting on another article about how if this was just incompetence, there would be a lot of specifics to nitpick as being a bad idea. It seemed to me there were no specifics at all. I'm glad I am not the only one commenting about that.

Truth is we don’t know how many operation gunwalkers there are.
