The deadly-but-forgotten government gun-running scandal known as “Fast and Furious” has lain dormant for years, thanks to White House stonewalling and media compliance. But newly uncovered e-mails have reopened the case, exposing the anatomy of a coverup by an administration that promised to be the most transparent in history.
A federal judge has forced the release of more than 20,000 pages of emails and memos previously locked up under President Obama’s phony executive-privilege claim. A preliminary review shows top Obama officials deliberately obstructing congressional probes into the border gun-running operation.
Fast and Furious was a Justice Department program that allowed assault weapons — including .50-caliber rifles powerful enough to take down a helicopter — to be sold to Mexican drug cartels allegedly as a way to track them. But internal documents later revealed the real goal was to gin up a crisis requiring a crackdown on guns in America. Fast and Furious was merely a pretext for imposing stricter gun laws.

Marxists do not care who or how many they kill in order to get their way.
The reason we don’t have Obama fatigue is the MSM refuses to carry anything that might reflect negatively. (Note, I have had Obama fatigue from the first time I heard him speak.)
I suspect that once he’s gone and it is safe to tackle the damage he has done, we’ll have nightly news drops. I would not be surprised if Obama and many of the Clinton enablers flee to places with no extradition to the United States.
Shhhhh. It all started under GWB anyway. It really turned in to a debacle under the lyin’ king. Not to mention who in the heck thought this would be a good plan anyway? And ‘they’ want more big govt?!
TREASON - continuous, in-your-face, agenda-driven, agency-abetted, representative-enabled, media-complicit, ongoing...
Cue the strongly worded letter from a House Republican
He will pardon everyone involved. The only way to prevent it is to have Trump threaten Obama with his own Justice Department. There is an interesting article out there today suggesting getting rid of the department and giving 99% of its functions to the states.
One can only hope - North Korea perhaps?
There are Administration officials who are guilty of manslaughter if not murder. They are cold blooded killers who should be tried and finish their days in a supermax prison.
Unfortunately, I don’t think that Mike Vanderboegh, who exposed this crime, will live long enough to see these administration criminals taken down.
“One can only hope - North Korea perhaps?”
Iran for Huma. Wherever Woody Allan went for the others.
The Rats will have run out the clock, after 8 years. I'm sure that any truly incriminating documents will be conveniently lost on bad hard drives, come January 2017.
Yup, they are islam's natural allies.
Nothing to see here. Move along.
Have you forgotten the proper protocol?
Terse memo first!
I doubt any of us will live that long.
We need to import all of ISIS so we can better track them too.
Accessories to murder, obstruction of justice, conspiracy, perjury, trafficking of firearms, concealment of evidence, corruption.
How long has this case been going on? Is it six years now?
I sincerely hope Donald Trump, as President, ends this charade and brings them to justice.
Operation Wide Reciever was Bush Administrator attempt to target Cartel buyers. Once the ATF, FBI, CIA figured out they were had by the cartels, poor equipment, etc. They shut down the operation. Obummer and Holder started it back up again when Hillary and Obama stated “98% of all guns used in Mexico are bought in the US.” and it was PROVEN less than 17% were. In order to make the Dems figures come true, the DEMOCAT/COMMUNISTS gave away, willy nilly, weapons from the US to Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala.
We have a criminal government. All government “workers” are suspect. These “folks” need swift Righteous Justice for their crimes.
