It certainly sounds a lot like Fast and Furious. The fact that William Newall was in on the press brief early on, is quite interesting, as is the falsification of evidence to get longer sentencing.

Ping for Fast and Furious.

I knew that Fast & Furious had to be involved in NM (it was in AZ and TX).

FBI Criminal Informant Complicit in Brian Terry’s Death (PJM Exclusive)

The rip crew was in Peck Canyon that evening with the intention of stealing money and drugs from a specific shipment of which they had prior knowledge.

(snip)

The rip crew knew to be in Peck Canyon that December evening because a CI working for the FBI found out about a smuggling run — from the FBI.

(snip)

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) — through its own CIs and communications intercepts — was also aware of the planned assault.

Neither the DEA nor FBI warned Border Patrol about the expected criminal activity.

(snip)

The federal government will still not reveal if one of the two WASR-10 AK-pattern semi-automatic rifles located near the scene — provided to the Sinaloa cartel via Operation Fast and Furious — was the weapon that put a bullet through Brian Terry’s heart. The existence of a third recovered gun, an SKS carbine, has been disputed by the FBI despite the fact it had been talked about openly in the beginning of the investigation among federal agents.

Multiple sources tell PJM that this third weapon “disappeared” because it was the weapon carried by the FBI CI who ran the rip crew. When it was recovered near the scene of the murder and subsequently traced by the ATF, it traced back to the FBI CI via the gun shop in Texas where it was purchased.

Brian Terry’s murder was entirely preventable. The incompetence of the DEA and FBI let his Border Patrol unit walk into an ambush. After the ambush, it appears the FBI tampered with evidence to cover up that one of their informants was involved with the murder of a federal agent.

You know what we need? Someone with a brain (not Issa) to investigate these scandals. The American public gives two hoots about this, Behngazi, won’t care about the Gates memoirs, Obamacare, etc. Why? Because of the inept, feckless Issa and GOP. So much to talk about, so much to expose, and no one really cares.

Similar to the Reese case in Deming NM. If the PHX gunshops had not videotaped their ATF “strongarm” meetings, they would have gone to jail too.

I said so from the day they got arrested. In my opinion, they killed one man by the stress they put on him.

It worked so well that they decided to go after the Reeses, and though they’ve managed to take away all their worldly goods I’m putting my money on the Reeses. I think they will get their day in court and I think they’ll win.
