Fast and Furious Falling ApartBy Russ Vaughn. June 21, 2012 When BATF agents first blew the whistle on what is now known as Operation Fast and Furious, the rationale offered by DoJ for such an evidently foolish operation was that it was designed to allow BATF to track and prosecute the leaders of the Mexican drug cartels. As more information surfaced from the Mexican government and the BATF's Mexican bureau chief specifying that none of them knew anything of this operation, many of us who were paying a bit closer attention to the case immediately smelled the first foul scent of corruption. The fatal flaw in DoJ's explanation was this: if the Mexican authorities had not been brought into the operation, nor even the BATF's own agents authorized to operate in Mexico, then the proffered DoJ justification made utterly no sense, for the simple reason that once those walked guns hit the south side of that border, there was absolutely no process in place to track them to their supposed targets. Therefore, DoJ was patently misrepresenting its motive. Why? www.americanthinker.com/2012/06/fast_and_furious_falling_apart.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

Fast, Furious, and ineptBy Boston Herald Editorial Staff, Thursday, June 21, 2012 - Updated 9 hours ago Eighteen months ago U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was gunned down in Arizona. Found at the scene of his slaughter were two of the tens of thousands of guns that were allowed to "walk" across the Mexican border into the hands of known thugs by our own Justice Department. Yesterday President Barack Obama invoked executive privilege to prevent a House committee investigating the so-called Fast and Furious gunrunning scandal from acquiring subpoenaed documents from Justice - a move that comes eight months after the committee's demand for information in the case. And on this, the 40th anniversary of the Watergate break-in, it brings to mind the catch-phrase of that era - what did the president know and when did he know it. bostonherald.com/news/opinion/editorials/view/20220621fast_furious_and_ineptDocuments: ATF used "Fast and Furious" to make the case for gun regulationsBy Sharyl Attkisson Documents obtained by CBS News show that the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) discussed using their covert operation "Fast and Furious" to argue for controversial new rules about gun sales. In Fast and Furious, ATF secretly encouraged gun dealers to sell to suspected traffickers for Mexican drug cartels to go after the "big fish." But ATF whistleblowers told CBS News and Congress it was a dangerous practice called "gunwalking," and it put thousands of weapons on the street. Many were used in violent crimes in Mexico. Two were found at the murder scene of a U.S. Border Patrol agent. www.cbsnews.com/8301-31727_162-57338546-10391695/documents-atf-used-fast-and-furious-to-make-the-case-for-gun-regulations/?tag=re1.channel Brian Terry's family and Border Patrol union speak out about Obama's Executive Privilege and Cover up:

Wide Receiver was designed to figure out how the bad guys were trafficking across the border.
Fast and Furious was designed to push an anti-gun narrative to get another gun ban.
Anyone telling you anything else is a liar.
I've been following this since Mike V. first started blogging about it. I've seen most of the streamed video and I've read a majority of the document links online. Most of them off of Nolo Contendre's massive thread over on AR15.com (http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_1_5/1145029_ATF_Gunwalker___p395___Eric_Holder_in_Contempt.html&page=1).
This whole shebang started at the top and, in a sane world, would see Obama and most of his cabinet impeached/serving jail time.
