Mexico's president asked the United States for answers and an apology for the Obama-era gun-running operation known as "Fast and Furious." On Friday, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador called for an investigation into Operation Fast and Furious to prevent it from happening again.
"What seems serious to me is that a violation of our sovereignty was carried out, a secret operation, and that Mexicans were killed with these weapons," Lopez Obrador said during a press conference in Mexico City on Friday.
"How could this be? A government that invades in this way, that flagrantly violates sovereignty, international laws," Lopez Obrador continued. "We have to shine light on this so that an action of this type will never be carried out again."
"There is still time for the U.S. to apologize," the Mexican president stated.
He also said that his government would send a diplomatic note to Washington asking for information on the gun-running scheme. Mexico Foreign Affairs Minister Marcelo Ebrard confirmed the communication, and said he was sending a letter to the U.S. regarding Operation Fast and Furious.
Operation Fast and Furious was a strategy created to assist the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives to combat Mexican drug cartels. Between 2009 and 2011, the Phoenix Field Division of the ATF would allow and track the illegal sale of approximately 2,000 firearms worth roughly $1.5 million. The weapons from Operation Fast and Furious would end up being used to kill hundreds of Mexicans and at least one American, U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry in 2010.

That’s the 3-D chess. Apologize? Expose the full extent of the operation. Ignore it, the outrage and hypocrisy volume increases.
> Hanging him is possible but desecrating the corpse is against the rules.
Just do the desecrating first. Problem solved.
One of those incidents that the media was just not curious about at the time.
Holder is a war criminal.
“You do not extradite your own citizens.”
We do it all the time. It’s why Treaties cover it.
We can imprison Holder when the Mexicans are done with him.

Duel citizens and non-citizens yes. But it is vanishingly rare for a home country to hand over one of it's own citizens.
“Didn’t Obama apologize for that , he apologized for everything else”
One might think in all his world apology tour that might be covered, but Obama only apologized for things others did, not his own administration.
“How about we send them Holder’s head?”
Then they would want an apology for that.
“But it is vanishingly rare for a home country to hand over one of it’s own citizens.”
In this case it’s warranted.

But it still sets a bad precedent. Next time a demonRat gets into power he could hand over some of our current officials to foreign powers to be tried for any offenses that they might dream up.
I would like to see him tried and convicted by our courts. And while we are making wishes that can not possibly come true, I would like a pony. :)
Hey AMLO, Indict Eric Holder, Trump will extradite and you will get your answers.
Calif gov Gavin Newsom employs Eric Holder who was involved with mass murder of approx 400 men, women, 16 children in Fast and Furious giving weapons to drug cartels.
