The BATFE, or part of it, supplying American guns to Mexican Narcotraficantes sort of smacks of the "stadium massacre" in Matt Bracken's "Enemies Foreign and Domestic" novel.

Different in detail, but the same in spirit. Breaking the law, trying to make gun owners and sellers look bad in order to make more work for themselves, and thus increase their own power. There should be heads that roll and people going to prison over this one. Probably won't be though.

Why not investigate the way Zerocare was shoved down our throat and if any of the payoffs were against the law. It would be pretty damaging to start sending out subpoenas to all involved. One upside is that they could strip any funding from the justice dept for defending the case.

One of the first things both Clinton and Obama did was to appoint a corrupt AG. Also a bunch of corrupt prosecutors and judges.

That pretty well insulates them from being prosecuted no matter what they do.

I think they can catch both Obama and Holder and the head of Batfe red handed and they will escape justice.

Who is going to hold their feet to the fire? The midia? fat chance, the Congress, well the Republicans have a long history of rolling over and playing dead anytime they have the rats in a corner.` Probably because many of them think the same way the rats do.

In the end there will be a little media coverage just so they can say they did, then they will help it die.

And in both the fictional scheme and in reality, lots of deaths were considered a necessary part of the equation.

But in my book, a few rogue ATF administrators orchestrate the stadium massacre.

Fast and Furious came right out of the very top of ATF and DOJ.

It won’t matter all that much because if anyone in the ‘O’ administration is fingered in this scandal ‘O’ himself will just pardon him/her because a bunch of nasty racist Republicans were just out to get him and his people.

Yea, but most would not have found such high level involvement "credible" and would have called you a right wing conspiracy theorist.

Truth is not only stranger than fiction, it's often worse than what any spinner of tales can make up. :)

I hope Issa can get some answers. But I think the admin. will stonewall and get away with it.
