On deck for a Mexican prison cell ...
Big whoopi deal. 2 AK's and 2 pistols. High traffic arms merchant. LA Times Holder puff piece.
We can only hope.
At some point, the Democrats will tire of protecting him. It’s only a matter of time.
They always turn on their own. Loyalty is for little people.
Arrest in F&F albiet small arrest ???? PING
So now they can get him out of the public eye.
They need to stop calling it “U.S. government’s failed Fast and Furious gun-smuggling operation.” It did not fail. It did exactly what the Obama administration wanted it to which was to arm the drug cartels and create chaos on the boarder in order to blame the 2nd amendment and re-institute an assault weapons ban or other gun control here in the US.
The only way it failed is that we found out about it.
It would seem Torres-Marrufo is a walking dead man with powerful players on both sides of the border fearful of what he knows.
From your lips to the MEXICAN FEDERALES ears!!! I have long thought that only the Mexican Government would be able to prosecute this scandal adequately due to the corruption in our own country that allowed this to occur in the first place.
I pray the Mexicans can link Holder and Obama tangibly, but I don’t realistically see the US agreeing to extradite them to Mexico - do you? (Not that I don’t think it appropriate for Holder and Obama to be held responsible for these deaths - just that we can’t allow a precedent like that to be set for ANY of our Presidents or cabinet members. That’s what the left wanted for Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfield remember...
Media Silent As Mexico Arrests Key Figure In Fast and Furious
Posted By Mary Chastain On February 13, 2012
I think late January and February have been the busiest time for Operation Fast & Furious. The media still doesn’t give it proper coverage, especially this news: On February 4th, Mexico arrests a key figure in Fast & Furious. Not only is he a key person in Fast & Furious, but he was also a top lieutenant to El Chapo. I first found out about it on Borderland Beat [1], a great website keeping us up to date about the drug war in Mexico. The Los Angeles Times [2] reported it on February 7th and my colleague AWR Hawkins [3] published commenrary on February 8th. Silence from media.
This is HUGE for Mexico and for us. The suspect is Jose Antonio Torres Marrufo aka “El Marrufo” or “El Jaguar.” He was the head of la Gente Nueva in Chihuahua and the Sinaloa cartel’s top man in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico’s most dangerous city.
He was also wanted in the US for drug trafficking and the recipient of high powered weapons from Operation Fast and Furious. He owned the home that was raided in April 2011 that had the guns from Fast & Furious.
This is GREAT news for everyone in America and Mexico, including Mr. Holder — yet I don’t hear anything from the media. A Google search yielded just three actual posts on this subject.
Thank you LA Times for reporting this, but this is another case that confirms my suspicions: If the AP doesn’t write about it the majority of the Old Media will ignore it.
