An ATF source has provided reporters a copy of a letter sent on June 1, 2010 which indicates that the monumental scandal known as 'Project Gunwalker,' or 'Operation Fast and Furious,' was never a sting operation as previously reported. If such an allegation is true, then the official Obama Administration explanation for the operation is entirely false.
The commonly-reported talking point concerning Gunwalker is that it was intended as a sting operation but that it went bad when rogue ATF agents took it in a sinister direction.
But the letter of June 2010, forwarded to reporters David Codrea and Mike Vanderboegh, indicates that nothing about the operation contained any of the elements of a 'sting.' Everything ATF agents did in placing guns into the hands of Mexican drug cartels was done in the open and with the approval of their supervisors:

when it comes to our adminsitration..you are right...It leads with malevolence but fortunately, they are so incompetent, it give us a chance SOMETIMES.
heard today that CZARINA Sibelious has put forth a “new rule’ in Obozocare to the insurance companies that the feds want ALL of our medical information! Hope the Reps blow this sucker up alll over the media.
What is the status of the civilian defense force Obama promised to create???
I’m guessing...
Obama’s Jobs Plan ~ Create a well armed civilian defense force to guard the voting booths in 2012
Obama lied and Mexicans died.
So did American BP Agent Brian Terry. He was referred to as “collateral damage”.
Of course not. There was no problem identifying the drug cartels. The problem was that anyone sent in anywhere near them would get shot, decapitated, and thrown into the street.
“I was hoping if this proves true, that this would stay corked until closer to the election”
With the White House stonewalling, this isn’t going to come to a speedy resolution. This will play out over the next year, at least.
I don't know. There were a lot of things Bush did during his first term where the libs were completely on-board.
You didn't hear them complain about changing banking laws to help the millions of illegal aliens obtain US bank accounts, credit cards, auto, home and business loans, did you?
They also underreported his ordering the border patrol to stand-down allowing many more millions to cross the border illegally.
I also didn't hear any belly-aching about his wanting to grant amnesty to all these illegals.
Did you hear them complain about Bush wanting to give US Social Security benefits to these illegal aliens? I didn't. The LSM was as quiet as church mice for these actions.
In fact, as I recall, the only ones complaining about these actions were true conservatives who were actually paying attention to what Bush was doing instead of standing and cheering his WOsT.
We’ll probably get the same crap as with every other dem administration.
They’ll stall until they’re out of office, and the next guy in will refuse to pursue any investigations.
It never works the other way around, though.
Did you miss the part where they are a bunch of government workers, being led by fascists?
I am shocked, I’m telling you just shocked to think that anyone in the mac daddy administration would tell lies.
JUST SHOCKED.
Think of it as malevolent incompetence.
We used to hang people for this sort of thing.
At least the BATFE/DOJ had the sense to give the guns to the “good” side - the Sinaloa Cartel, rather than the Zeta Cartel. /s/
Given the US government's history, the BATFE probably bought the guns from the gun stores for more than they sold them to the cartels for... "We buy them in bulk and lose money on each one, but we make it up in volume!"

The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
To quote Heinlein: “Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.”
Figuratively?
‘-}
I believe the Quote was Obama telling a Supporter regarding Guns ,we are working on that under the Radar
Too bad we don’t have a “Like” button...I would have hit it for your post.
You missed also the guns Obama flooded into US cities.
US government wants guns sold to Mexico.
Mexican President complains about US guns in his country.
0bama has excuse for more US GUN CONTROL LAWS
