Mexican Border State Governor Destroys 500 Fast and Furious Guns
Breitbart.com ^ | 1/18/19 | Ildefonso Ortiz

According to Nuevo León officials, the weapons had been seized from criminal organizations and from crime scenes. Rodriguez Calderon stated that the weapons had been smuggled into Mexico by criminal organizations from other countries.

More than 500 of the seized weapons were traced back to the failed Fast and Furious Operation where the U.S. Department of Justice allowed Mexican cartels to illegally purchase weapons in the U.S. in order to move them into Mexico. The weapons were supposed to be traced to high ranking cartel figures, however the U.S. Department of Justice lost track of thousands and bolstered the arsenals of criminal enterprises.

Two U.S. federal agents were also killed in connection with guns that were part of the Fast and Furious program. U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was killed in December 2010. Two guns from the program were found at the scene of his murder. Immigration and Customs Agent Jaime Zapata was killed in Mexico in February 2011.

Obama and Holder should have been impeached and jailed for this.

Coming from the corrupt Mexican government I would believe that this "discovered" cache of 500 seized weapons traced back to the failed Fast and Furious Operation where the U.S. Department of Justice allowed Mexican cartels to illegally purchase weapons in the U.S. in order to move them into Mexico is just the tip of the iceberg."

This is merely LIP SERVICE from Mexico. It's probably due to an Obama hint to them. I trust the Mexican government like I trusted Obama.

President Trump should say publicly that his administration would speedily process any extradition request for Eric Holder and the BATF goons who ran F&F.

Let Holder sweat thinking about a couple of decades in a Mexican prison.

He will talk then.

Soon Trump will have his own world class intel in place. He’ll have the keys to the entire file cabinet, all the data, records, backgrounds intel, past and present on-going investigations etc.

We’re going to find out a whole lot more about these lying leftist globalist deviates. And this is no doubt the reason for all this wide spread panic.

“The weapons were supposed to be traced to high ranking cartel figures, however the U.S. Department of Justice lost track of thousands and bolstered the arsenals of criminal enterprises. “

Honestly, there was no way to trace the weapons once they crossed the border.
Logically, the claim by the Holder gang on that was patently laughably false.
So, what was the aim?
1) Arm Mexican invaders to harm Americans.
2) Stir up anger against the 2nd Amendment

President Trump should make a Public Offer to not Fight Extradition if they choose to Indict Holder and Others for these Murders.

Watch the media Lose their Minds!!
