Even the worst scheme theorized as a reason for this — to bring international outrage towards the USA as being a “source of illegal guns” — still seems to hardly suffice to explain why. Holder lied and Mexicans (and Americans) died. That much seems abundantly clear. But I’d almost wonder if there was a mole from a Mexican cartel who tried to punk the US into supplying more guns.
Nope. The cartels get most their guns straight out of the military arsenals of South and Central America; fully automatic weapons, heavy weapons, etc. And they get them a lot cheaper than they could get them from US gun stores.
Pure and simple, the DoJ wanted murder victims killed with weapons traceable to US gun stores to create an “emergency” that would allow them to further undermine the Second Amendment. That is all there was to “Fast and Furious.”
Mexican politicians were completely on board with this political blame-America scheme. They were doing a barbershop quartet with Obama and Holder.
Impeach Eric Holder, and force the Senate Democrats to play their lockstep game going right into November, right into the teeth of the election. Impeach Holder, try him in public right there in the Senate, pile up the evidence against him.
Make the Democrats cleave to their darlings on national television, on election eve.
