A high-ranking Mexican drug cartel operative currently in U.S. custody is making startling allegations that the failed federal gun-walking operation known as “Fast and Furious” isn’t what you think it is.

It wasn’t about tracking guns, it was about supplying them — all part of an elaborate agreement between the U.S. government and Mexico’s powerful Sinaloa Cartel to take down rival cartels.

High-ranking Mexican drug cartel member makes explosive allegation: ‘Fast and Furious’ is not what you think it is

Color me shocked.

[massgopguy]

Fast and Furious IS what we think it is.

[Mr. K]

They must have been donating to the Obama campaign

[cripplecreek]

Its exactly what we thought it was.

[Obadiah]

The Sinaloa Cartel was allegedly permitted to traffic massive amounts of drugs across the U.S. border from 2004 to 2009 — during both Fast and Furious and Bush-era gunrunning operations — as long as the intel kept coming.

Uh huh, see this all happened during the Bush years. Obama really had nothing to do with any of this. Why, a drug cartel kingpin himself says so!

[null and void]

Yep. Arming anti-government forces in another country is an act of war.

Mexico would be well within its rights to recognize this fact and send infiltrators across our border...

[MestaMachine]

Gee. We needed a ‘cartel member to inform us what only a ‘cartel member’ knows? Really? I’m just stupefied by this revelation. Aren’t you?

[RC2]

This Administration and the DOJ is about a crooked as they come. Where’s Congress? On vacation. We need a total change in our government.

Suh-priiize! Suh-priiize! Npw tonnect the money laudering/ produce buying of certain drug cartels to the Rats/thugs.

Zambada-Niebla claims that under a “divide and conquer” strategy, the U.S. helped finance and arm the Sinaloa Cartel through Operation Fast and Furious in exchange for information that allowed the DEA, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other federal agencies to take down rival drug cartels. The Sinaloa Cartel was allegedly permitted to traffic massive amounts of drugs across the U.S. border from 2004 to 2009 — during both Fast and Furious and Bush-era gunrunning operations — as long as the intel kept coming.

This pending court case against Zambada-Niebla is being closely monitored by some members of Congress, who expect potential legal ramifications if any of his claims are substantiated. The trial was delayed but is now scheduled to begin on Oct. 9.

Zambada-Niebla is reportedly a close associate of Sinaloa Cartel kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman and the son of Ismael “Mayo” Zambada-Garcia, both of which remain fugitives, likely because of the deal made with the DEA, federal court documents allege.

Hummmmmmmmm........

At least 20 millions so far.

[little jeremiah]

Got any ideas about what Issa etc are up to? There is so much going on I feel as though I can’t know anything about everything, or something like that....

[Red Badger]

It IS what I thought it was: A CAMPAIGN MONEY LAUNDERING SCAM............

[hummingbird]

I read there was a program like “Fast and Furious” during Bush Admin. but it was short-lived.

Was a type of “Fast and Furious” all over the Bush Admin?

[Irish Eyes]

BTT!

I’ve read these charges before, presented as simple assumptions quite a while ago.

[BradyLS]

Clearly, it works as both.
