Mexico asks U.S. for answers over historic gun-running row
Grauniad ^ | May 8, 2020 | Dave Graham

Mexico’s president on Friday urged the United States to shed light on a gun-running sting that caused bilateral friction under the Obama presidency, questioning the behavior of past U.S. administrations for the third time this week.

Hundreds of Mexicans have died from Obama's Fast and Furious gun trafficking.

Operation Fast & Furious had as its central purpose the subversion of the US Constitution. The program's strategy was to gin up a furor over guns sourced in the US being used in Mexican crime so that the US public could be stampeded into restricting the 2nd Amendment. Since few such guns were being used in Mexico more had to be supplied. They also had to show up at crime scenes so that they could be traced back to the US to 'prove' the Obama administration's assertions.

F&F was a program cynically designed to result in Mexican deaths - so that 'evil' US-sourced guns could be found at the crime scenes and US gun laws could be blamed for the carnage. Holder, Napolitano, Hillary and Obama and a host of their minions cooked up this program knowing that Mexicans would die - in fact, needing Mexicans to die for this scheme to work. The Obama administration was cynically willing to slaughter Mexicans to accomplish their political purposes.

There was no "botch", as the press would have it. The only "botch" in the scheme was F&F guns turning up to get Americans killed too.

Why was it first called “Gunwalker” then changed to F&F. ?

Obama’s already on the defensive with his involvement in the Russian Collusion scheme coming out. No doubt, Mexico sees this also. Time to hit Barry Soetoro on another front.

My personal advice President Trump? Cooperate fully with the Mexicans.

Definitely cooperate. A earnest sign of good faith to the Mexicans would be to extradite Holder.

I wouldn’t be surprised to find that Trump had planted that seed.

Since it was AMLO who raised the issue I guess Reuters now has to cover it. I doubt they ever said a word about F&F until this very day.

Trump has always been soft on Mexico.

F&F has a more Hollywood appeal. We should call the Wuhan Bat Coronavirus response F&F (Fear and Fascism).

If they did they’d do something about that Hezbollah gun dealer in Chihuahua City. He’s been there for years.

Yep. Cooperate fully with full disclosure. Prosecute to the max.

From article:

“Lopez Obrador has used the arrest of Garcia Luna to argue that corruption was rampant in past Mexican governments.

But this week he has also asked whether previous U.S. administrations were complicit by working with Garcia Luna, whose period as minister coincided with Obama’s first term in office and the final years of George W. Bush.”

He did when he negotiated with Mexico to buy their oil.

Why in the first charts were the Democrats the red party and the Republicans the blue?

Because propaganda is everything to the MSM.

Mexico should indict Holder, then Trump should hand him over.

On Monday, Lopez Obrador said U.S. officials at the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) who cooperated with Garcia Luna should be investigated

Federal Bureau of Investigation?

Better to be investigated By the First 2,000 People in the Telephone Directory than by the FBI.

Fire the lot of them.
