It couldn’t turn into Obama’s Watergate, because Watergate was essentially kept alive by the media. There will be no Woodward and Bernstein here because absolutely no media figure is interested in following up on Obama’s misdeeds, lies or even criminal acts.

The US press corpse was too busy covering the 40th anniversary of Watergate to bother devoting coverage to Fast and Furious.

They are now trying to spin it as Bush’s scandal. Except if it was Bush’s fault, they would have covered it extensively long ago. Instead they suppressed coverage.

The problem here is that the press never liked Nixon.
This will go nowhere.

I hope I am wrong...

It's just treason, insurrection and murder of US LEOs and Mexican Nationals.

hillary is neck deep in the Honduras F&F, if prevailing opinions are correct. Even Napoleon had his Watergate. zer0 and his crowd now have theirs. As the lamestream seeks to ignore the facts ... regrettably ... more people are likely to die due to F&F.

>>>It’s important to note that the Bush administration oversaw something similar to Fast and Furious. Called Operation Wide Receiver, it used the common tactic of “controlled delivery,” whereby agents would allow an illegal transaction to take place, closely follow the movements of the arms, and then descend on the culprits>>>

A bit different than what the democrats are saying about Bush, huh?

Only republicans get prosecuted, card carrying democrats get a free pass from their socialist party counterparts in the press.

There was NO planning or funding for the tracing. The ONE case in which there was actual tracing involved a field agent of the lowest rank going “off the reservation” and into a RADIO SHACK, where he used his OWN MONEY to buy a GPS thang. And in desperation he personally inserted it into one of the guns.

It went dark after 14 hours or so, deep in Mexico.

The scandal also involves GRENADES. And a casino getting burned down, with 20 Mexicans stacked up in the bathroom, dying for fresh air. And a helicopter getting shot down with a US Barrett.

And other stuff.

As usual... the only English speaking Journalism is in the news papers of the British press. Unreal... just unreal. I read the foreign press before I read the US media. All of my life I believed in the press... honored them and respected them as the truth keepers... until cronkite’s truth came out. They are the lowest form of life... below lawyers... below the dims themselves... for they are of pure evil and the lie is their passion.

Here again we see it —having to go to a BRITISH paper for honest coverage about the USA.

When was the last prominent time that happened?

During the MONICA MESS, when at Drudge and FR the scandal was known in lucid detail for over 10 months with NO coverage in the Legacy Press —NONE.

Brit papers picked it up, and Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, and later the US Enquirer and WND.

All after Drudge, and then FR. There are two reporting dimensions, each operating next to one another.

FOX showed a copy of one of the documents DOJ turned over to congress. It was totally redacted (blacked out). Many of the documents turned over are similar.
