The Fast and Furious investigat­ion can not stop with the resignatio­n of Kenneth Melson, acting director of the ATF. We already know that other Federal agencies including DEA, ICE and Border Patrol were involved in Operation Fast and Furious. None of those agencies report to Kenneth Melson. Authorizat­ion for the involvemen­t of those other agencies had to come from higher up. Both BATFE and DEA report to Eric Holder and since the operation crossed his agencies, he was involved. Similarly, Border Patrol and ICE report to Janet Napolitano and since the operation crossed her agencies, she was involved. Since the operation crossed department­s (Homeland Security and Justice) and those department­s report to Obama, he too had to have been involved — it can really be NO other way.

My general thinking was along the same lines. In order to prevent this being defined as 'an act of war' by Mexico, I am pretty sure the State Department was involved at some level also.

That would put Hillary in the loop as well.
