The Biggest Scandal in U.S. History

Forget executive privilege, contempt of Congress, "fast and furious," how many documents the government has produced and who said what to whom on which date.

The Obama administration has almost certainly engaged in the most shockingly vile corruption scandal in the history of the country, not counting the results of Season Eight on "American Idol."

Administration officials intentionally put guns into the hands of Mexican drug cartels, so that when the guns taken from Mexican crime scenes turned out to be American guns, Democrats would have a reason to crack down on gun sellers in the United States.

Democrats will never stop trying to take our guns away. They see something more lethal than a salad shooter and wet themselves.

But since their party was thrown out of Congress for the first time in nearly half a century as a result of passing the 1994 "assault weapons ban," even liberals know they were going to need a really good argument to pass any limitation on guns ever again.

So it's curious that Democrats all started telling the same lie about guns as soon as Obama became president. In March 2009, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced to reporters on a trip to Mexico: "Since we know that the vast majority, 90 percent of that weaponry (used by Mexican drug cartels), comes from our country, we are going to try to stop it from getting there in the first place."

Interesting take on F&F relationship to past administration and media lies about U.S. guns going to Mexico

[bestintxas]

The Republic will fall if we allow no accountability for an executive branch who flaunts our elected representatives in Congress.

[RitaOK]

This is the right take on the story from the beginning. Glad Ann finally writes about it.

The Hillary role has not gone un-noticed either. Like yesterday, we remember her early term romance (seen hand holding) in South America and Mexico and on the wrong side of every issue and all the facts throughout that honeymoon.

[Tzimisce]

Of course, if they're worried about guns in Mexico they could just SECURE THE BORDER.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Sharkfish.

[Olog-hai]

You mean like how Felipe Calderon secured Mexico’s southern border against Guatemala . . . ?

[Goreknowshowtocheat]

It looks like the Pubbies are going to slap Holder’s hand and move on. Where are the court filings now that we have contempt? It certainly does not give one much hope that they will corral these mass murderers.

[liberalh8ter]

I think it's a toss up between F&F and Obamacare. They're both monumental as far as scandals go.

EXACTLY! We can welcome late arriving guests to the party (T.E.A.). Welcome aboard, Ann!

Pre-meditated, agenda-driven MURDER. It did not matter who or how many died. "They" are a necessary integral part of the AGENDA.

"But let's look on the bright side. The BATF was originally going to ship warheads to Iran until realizing the explosions might disable the tracking devices."

Great line...I'm still not a member of the newly formed anti-Ann posse.

guns taken from Mexican crime scenes

If I was a criminal I would not shoot someone, then throw the gun on the ground and run away .... guns cost money .... unless I was paid to do the shooting and then leave the gun behind .... something like a paid hit man.

Scott Ott (of PJTV and an OH County Commissioner) is right. This is bigger than Watergate. But I fear we no longer have the culture that is willing prosecute “elites” as we did in the past.

[cookcounty]

Excellent!

[Josephat]

We only prosecute elites if they are of the republican persuasion.

[mazda77]

What is not said is many of those who used the weapons were themselves also on the way or taking the eternal celestial dirt nap. Kinda hard to take your weapons with you.

Well, so far nobody has died from Obamacare. With F&F it'/s one US Border Patrol Agent and a few hundred Mexican civilians.

[Rapscallion]

No one has explained what putting 2,500 untraceable guns in the hands of Mexican drug dealers was supposed to accomplish.

The most rational explanation is that the administration was trading allowing US guns into Mexico in exchange for drug money smuggled into US political parties and campaigns.

So far...."Pull the plug on Granny..."

‘No one has explained what putting 2,500 untraceable guns in the hands of Mexican drug dealers was supposed to accomplish’

The lefts explanation is that they would be able to trace the guns to the heirarchy in the cartels. This is total BS because for one, by what means would they be able to trace the guns. In addition it is the ‘foot soldiers’ of the cartel that carry out the killings not the leaders. The only explanation is that there would be some guns popping up in various crimes that would point back to their origin, the US. Thereby drumming up anti gun sentiment and the ‘need’ for more gun control. The ‘New World Order’ will be more difficult to accomplish with an armed citizenry.
