Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) has requested a briefing with the Justice Department over a news report that U.S. law enforcement officials helped Mexican drug cartels launder millions of dollars into the country.
The chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee made the request in a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder, in which he questioned DOJ head’s ability to lead the agency.
Issa has been investigating the DOJ’s authorization of a botched gun-tracking operation for most of the year and has increasingly criticized Holder, who is set to appear before the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday.
“The existence of such a program again calls your leadership into question,” said Issa in his letter. “The managerial structure you have implemented lacks appropriate operational safeguards to prevent the implementation of such dangerous schemes. The consequences have been disastrous.”
According to an article published in the New York Times on Sunday, undercover agents with the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) helped transport millions of dollars in cash across the U.S.-Mexico border in an effort to study and dismantle the trafficking routes of drug cartels.
The article said the DEA allowed the drug cartels to continue functioning as they tracked their money moving methods

Is there anything such men would NOT do..?
They will do nothing good and decent. They will do nothing for the good of America.
Looks to me like a big chunk of the Obama administration (and the Democrat Party) is a racketeer-influenced and corrupt organization. Seems like there is a law that deals with those, somewhere.
Not a stretch at all, you pretty much nailed it. Just add the kick-back part from Zetas and Sinaloa. They are working both ends of the gravy train.
You are correct ~! 1000000000 %
Backety back, back, back to Barry Seal, daddy bush and billy jeff, and Mena, Arkansas.

Yep.
If you think this is just the obama admin, you are wilfully forgetting history. Why did you think kosovo happened? Why did we go to Afghanistan? Who was manuel noriega’s handler? Who is gwb’s adopted brother? Why was Jeb governor of FLA and george governor of Texas? Q- Why did billy jeff MARRY the fugly hillary and STAY married to her all these years? A-Chicago.
I will go even farther. WHY did clinton CHOOSE mccain? And WHY has he chosen gingrich this time? A-because neither have a core or morals and BOTH are already compromised and greedy as hell. BOTH are for sale.
The spice will flow.

Free Republic mentioned.
Thanks bflr
As with every crime, just follow the money. It’s always about money and power, both interchangable and the same.
HuffingtonPost mentions Free Republic; see link at # 31:
"In a popular right-wing blog, Freerepublic.com, the story prompted comments like this: "I am starting to wonder just how many elected officials and bureaucrats are on the cartel payrolls. My guess is, it is approaching 50 percent of that bunch in Washington. And even higher among officials along the border.""
Thanks GlockTheVote. Good find.
And if you're suggesting not to bother enforcing the laws, because they all do it (break the laws), stop wasting my time. If you are not suggesting non-enforcement, we should start by charging the current batch of political crooks (i.e., the Obamanistas).
ruh ro :))))
Thanks - this is like one of those old movies with a “cast of thousands”.
My point was/is that our law enforcement, intel agencies, the judiciary, and perhaps even high ranking military have become so corrupt that it has become next to impossible to emforce ANY laws without risking your own life. This isn’t just some small op gone bad. This includes the state department and virtually every law enforcement agency in our government, and many overseas. This is international. It’s huge.
It involves trillions of dollars moving around the world from bank to bank and into government coffers and many pockets. And for all practical purposes, the most corrupt people on earth control this. obama is a puppet.
If so, Obama is still responsible for his actions - impeach him. And if an overbearing federal government facilitates criminal activities by government officials, then the current fiscal crisis (if nothing else) provides sufficient reason to take an axe to the structure - let's see how many entire departments we can get rid of. Energy, interior, agriculture, HUD, HHS, and veteran's affairs all come to mind, without even breaking a sweat.
