I’ve heard that two of the Mexican drug lords who received ‘Fast and Furious’ weaponry were actually on the payroll of the FBI. Has this been confirmed?

Something like that. IIRC, one of the guys that supposedly the ATF wanted to nail was an informer for the FBI.

That’s the rumor.

So far we know that the ATF watched the straw purchasers buy the weapons, advised the gun dealers to sell them, and watched the buyers walk the guns to the border.

It’s looking like they may have had some of the higher ups on their payrolls as informants and they covered up shootings to try and keep their informants out of jail. Odds are if that’s true (I believe it is) then it means that we probably paid them to buy weapons which they then used to kill Americans.

All so we could possibly catch someone somewhere else possibly higher up. So yea, a horrid plan failed and it looks like only the low level people who they knew about at the start of the program will get arrested.

That’s the Holder DOJ for you. Stupid, powerful, and arrogant. The worst traits for a law officer to have.

Do you have a link?
