The list of people who could be prosecuted could be quite large and the charges would be profound. It starts with aiding and abetting the sale and transfer of firearms to persons who intended to take them across the border into Mexico. This would violate Federal law, and violate international law. When it was first learned that a United States Law Enforcement Officer was killed, and that an instrument in the death could have been one of the weapons which was allowed to "walk," EVERY PERSON who had knowledge of the operation was obligated to report what they knew to judicial authorities. Anyone who didn't blow the whistle became an accessory to any number of felonies before the killing, and if they remained silent after the killing, they became accessories to murder after the fact.

Now that it is known that there are multiple agencies involved and personnel in those other agencies didn't report what they knew, there is a massive obstruction of justice, and a coordinated criminal conspiracy being engaged in by Federal Employees who should know better.

It strains all common sense and any concept of credibility that anyone involved could not have foreseen that some of the weapons being "walked" into Mexico were likely to be used by Drug Cartel members against Mexican citizens, Police, Military members, possibly politicians, and against U.S. citizens, U.S. Law Enforcement members and possibly eventually, even members of the U.S. Military. I buy into what someone else posted, in that this operation constituted an act of war against Mexico. Mexico is fully within its rights to demand extradition to Mexico for trial of all persons involved in approving, financing, actively participating in, and consciously engaging in the obstruction of justice in this operation.

Your summary is an excellent one.

This is the most egregious and damaging federal government scandal in decades. Just imagine: the head of the Justice Department as an accessory, if not an instigator, in a vast criminal conspiracy involving a foreign state that has resulted in the death of at least one US law enforcement agent and who knows how many Mexican citizens.

And what did 0bama know, and when did he know it?
