Audio Tapes Reveal More Details in 'Fast and Furious' Gunrunner Scandal
Fox News ^ | 9/21/11 | William Lajeunesse

Posted on 09/21/2011 11:27:30 AM PDT by Nachum

In a series of secretly recorded audio tapes, the owner of the gun store that sold a record number of weapons in Operation Fast and Furious admittedly sounds arrogant, crude and complicit in the U.S. government's plan to sell high powered assault rifles to the Sinaloa Cartel.

However, the lawyer representing the Lone Wolf Trading Co. says owner Andre Howard made the tapes only after he suspected he was being lied to, and his language is meant to get Hope MacAllister, an agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, to implicate herself and her agency in their illegal gun running scheme.

"He became very suspicious and in his own defense would tape key conversations with Ms. MacAllister and try to get her to make admissions about the truth of the matter," said Dallas attorney Larry Gaydos. "Andre was trying to get her to admit that indeed they let guns go to Mexico."

Howard has become a key witness in the congressional investigation of the Department of Justice and its alleged cover up of Operation Fast and Furious. The Justice Department has repeatedly said it did not allow guns -- purchased under its direction and authority -- to reach Mexico.

On the tapes the agent says the administration will have to tell key Congressional investigators to sit down.

Sounds like coverup to me.

News media: This is your cue to Palinize the guy who made the recording.

Justice Department: This is your cue to Libbyize the guy who made the recording.

Is that Patrick Fitzgerald I see warming up in the bull pen?
