Justice Officials in 'Panic Mode' as Hearing Nears on Failed Anti-Gun Trafficking Program

But now the casualties are coming in.

Mexican officials estimate 150 of their people have been shot by Fast and Furious guns. Police have recovered roughly 700 guns at crime scenes, 250 in the U.S. and the rest in Mexico, including five AK-47s found at a cartel warehouse in Juarez last month.

[Winged Hussar]

To the murders of U.S. law enforcement officers Brian Terry and Jaime Zapata, Barack Obama's BATFE can add 150 murders and aggravated assaults (firearm related) in Mexico. Barack Obama's BATFE may have even committed an act of war against Mexico. We must cleanse our nation's honor by removing this individual from office next year or even sooner if he was a party to this crime (impeachable offense).

All officials who willingly participated in and approved of Operation Fast and Furious should be indicted as accessories to murder.

Panic mode?
They are looking for scapegoats and will form a Mexican Firing Squad...................

[shield]

They are looking for $$$$$’s

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

We could try them here as at least one American died...

Issa is the man to do this probe..He is very strong and won’t back down! I am so glad he is doing this, not some whiny RINO.

I've noticed this story is starting to get some play in the MSM. It could end up being big, I predict it will take down Holder, because there is already claims by the agents involved that the order can directly from his office. Perhaps if it looks like he's going down, Holder might rat out who in the Whitehouse gave the order, either that or Holder might get “Vince Fostered” if it looks like he's going to implicate the Whitehouse.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Well...no problem, take the money we save by decimating ATF jobs!

[Peter from Rutland]

This story is extremely old but at least they got the Operation name correct.

[Still Thinking]

I don't understand why all these news organizations are giving them the benefit of the doubt and calling this a "Failed Anti-Gun Trafficking Program". How are we supposed to know it wasn't a scheme to gin up fake evidence of their claims that our 2A rights were somehow the cause of Mexico's crime epidemic? Headlines like that shape people's overall view of the issue, while Fox and the others pretend to be covering the story.

The ATF and DOJ guys, certainly have the right to argue that that's what it was while testifying before Congress or on trial, if they have evidence to make their case, but why jump to the most benign conclusion before we've even found out? Presumption of innocence doesn't apply to actions of the state, only to us. D'oh!

[DCBryan1]

A firing squad is exactly what I would like to see...due to Waco. ATF should have had dozens of agents tried and sentenced to death since the 1990s.

[ichabod1]

He’s a turd world politician from a turd world country and a turd world city. You KNOW that he’s never believed in any law besides what he can get away with, so I gotta think there is illegal activity all OVER this turd world administration.

[tacticalogic]

Holder might get “Vince Fostered” if it looks like he's going to implicate the Whitehouse.

Probably more like "Ron Browned", but the end result is the same.

[Erik Latranyi]

I think an angle here may be that the Obama Administration is arming socialist groups along our border.

[GlockThe Vote]

150 known already?

Wow.

[Still Thinking]

Did The Won read Travis's Domestic Enemies -- the Reconquista?

[Enterprise]

The one who was killed should be the starting point. Considering the depravity of the cartels in how they kill their victims, members of the Obama Administration should also be charged with being accessories to crimes against humanity.

I don't think that the program failed at all.

I can agree it certainly was anti-gun (in a Sarah Brady sense of the term). On the other hand, it clearly succeeded in trafficking guns into Mexico to prove the Obama administration's lie that a major source of the cartels' guns was the US. (Since the guns weren't really coming from the US, they needed to see to it that they did.)

[sportutegrl]

I’ve heard it said that Holder is Obama’s firewall. Obama needs him where he is. If Holder goes down, he is no use to Obama. Same thing if Holder has an ‘accident’.

[chris_bdba]

According to the ATF retired agent yesterday on Fox he siad something likje this would come all the way from the top...I took that to mean the Whitehouse so it may not be just Holder who falls.
