ATF Project Gunrunner

Where is the bottom and what else is out there?

That is a very good question. My years of military experience tell me that the number of incidents that make it into the public eye pale in comparison to the number the public never knows anything about.
 
A consistent pattern of the Obama administration is to pursue failed ideas, from crony capitalism, Keynesian economics, appeasement of enemies, marxist principles of healthcare delivery, etc. This is just another example with the twist that a LOT of violence and chaos invariably produces some outcry for more law and enforcement.

Speaking into wristwatch "We have one who can seeee!!! Ahhhh!!!":eek: ... :)
 
in the "Journalists Guide..." link when i read this:
Here's what's happened so far, at least what I can publicly disclose:

exactly what does he mean, "what I can publicly disclose" ? is he holding back critical info :confused:
 
What???

All i know is this, if a republican was in the white house their would be 500 democrat lawyers planted all over this,no 1,000 along with the ACLU and 20 special prosecuters from here to AZ and the press would be screaming for his head from here to heaven. I find this amazing, but not really.
 
100 down 2100 to go

They found 100 firearms from F&F in a cartel enforcer's home in April.

SOURCE

Fast and Furious weapons were found in Mexico cartel enforcer's home

Reporting from Washington— High-powered assault weapons illegally purchased under the ATF's Fast and Furious program in Phoenix ended up in a home belonging to the purported top Sinaloa cartel enforcer in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, whose organization was terrorizing that city with the worst violence in the Mexican drug wars.

Sean Hannity of whom I am not particularly fond, just devoted a one-hour Sunday special to Fast & Felonious. He recounted the entire history right up to date, had a segment (possibly taped) with Darrell Issa, a segment with the reporter Lajeunesse, who's covered this story for FOX, etc. No link yet on FOX News' web site.

At last Issa is using the old Watergate attack tactic. Hopefully it chills Holder and Obama to the bone to hear that old refrain of implicit guilt.
 
Issa can issue all the subpoenas he chooses, but cannot force anyone to comply. It's quite apparent that neither Holder nor anyone involved in this caper still at ATFE or DOJ is going to cooperate - and certainly not in open committee hearings. I don't see any mechanism that could possily bring thhe stonewalling to an end. Know what spelled Nixon's undoing? He still had a wee bit of shame and integrity in him and he nominated an AG who he knew would appoint a special prosecutor. Obama and Holder, etc., have none of that in them, and they are going to play this game out until the clock reads 0:00.
 
I have made an assumption.It may be wrong.
The Rahm Emanuel Principle"Never let a crisis go to waste.Use it to accomplish what would otherwise not be possible"
Add "Ends justify means"

It morphs into creating the crisis .

Let the murdering drug gang thugs have a couple thousand AK-47's,traceable to border FFL holders.

The plan?Count on a lot of people along the border and in Mexico to be murdered and terrorized.Bingo!! A crisis!!

And,since it is international....maybe the 2nd Ammendment would be compromized by a treaty,with UN backing.

As I said,assumptions.

Pretty cold.Writing off the collateral damage ,getting folks killed,to push gun law through.

I am open to alternative motivations for F+F.

Mods,I hope this thread stays open.If my post puts it in peril,please move my post to New Thread,or delete it.

Evidence - Nixon was vain enough to create and keep the White House tapes that proved the whole sordid tale.

Reagan was not undone by Iran-Contra because there was no definitive proof of his involvement and Oliver North was willing to take the blame.

Obama and Holder will not be undone by Fast & Furious if there is no definitive proof of their involvement still in existence; some underling can always be found to take the blame.

I'm not sure. Holder's tried to stonewall thus far; openly defying Congress is a different matter.

Legally, I suppose he could weasel out of appearing. Politically, what does it say if the US Attorney General flaunts a subpoena?
 
They said that American guns ARE THE problem Mexico. And when the numbers weren't so,
I believe others set out to make it so. I believe, It has always been about increasing/manufacturing the numbers.
 
Holder is gonna play deaf, mute, stupid, dumbfounded until the "Caca doddledoos"...

I bet Issa and all the rest on the oversight committee had no idea they would be this busy when they agreed to what I am sure is but a stipend allowance...:D
