Operation Gunrunner was funded by the 2009 Stimulus Package

Looks like Obama will need a new VP. Joe Biden was the one who was going to be the stimulus sheriff. You remember- “nobody messes around with Joe!” It makes sense to have him as the fall-guy as no one really believed the bumbling incompetent was going to do anything to keep track of the stimulus.

Sorry if this as been mentioned and discussed before. I didn't see it in various threads and thought it might be important enough to deserve it's own thread.

It is and it does. FYI, I've forwarded itb to a couple of people in the news and talk radio biz. I doubt you'll get credit for it, but if they go with it, you deserve both their and our thanks.

The above was H.R.495 that failed to pass but was later funded by the stimulus.

And while you’re at it, read H.R.495 that I linked above. It never made it out of committee but it’s a very interesting read looking back given what we know now.

More reading for you: the Merida Initiative

” Can you say offshore accounts? Govt fraud? Money laundering? Illegal
conversions of govt monies? “

Oh yeah....the only 2 questions are where, and how much?

Bump - great work - thank you!

It is very significant that the Democrat authors in the House and Senate inserted words to authorize and fund the criminal actions of the Administration and DOJ.

[Mr. Peabody]

A tangled web indeed.
Interesting the people that keep popping up.

Stimulus funds Gunrunner
Apollo Alliance writes stimulus
Phil Angelides part of Apolllo Alliance
Angelides whitewashes Fannie Mae role in financial collapse
Jim Johnson on Fannie Mae
Jim Johnson Obama Advisor

and on and on

Is there a way to find the exact line in the bill to look at where this appropriation is mentioned- specifically the statement you mention. I’m not having much luck using their search feature - Thanks

[sweetiepiezer]

Good old non read stimulus.

[Munz]

you have great information there. But your conclusion is faulty.

>What this tells me is that several congressmen also had knowledge of what Gunrunner was going to entail. This isn’t just the ATF and DOJ. This is all levels and areas of government. Even members of the House and Senate knew what Project Gunrunner was.<

They thought it was intended to arrest STRAW buyers, not let the guns walk.

Go to that link, wait for it to load (it’s long). Then CTRL-F (find) “gunrunner”. Should bring you right to it, highlighted.

Yes, this is as serious a story of government abuse as I’ve seen in a long time.

If you’d like to be on or off this Outdoors/Rural/wildlife/hunting list please FR mail me. And ping me is you see articles of interest. Not limited to midwest

It's a little off topic, but as girlangler notes important. Government Gone Wild, but not reality TV. I suspect in an attempt to abridge our firearm rights up front, but far beyond that. People have died, many of them. The most transparent administration in history, lying. Not going to ping these articles, but for anyone interested, I'd suggest getting on Joe Brower's gun rights list.

Levin just gave FR (you) props and mentioned this.

[tutstar]

Why isn’t this in breaking news?

[P-Marlowe]

This thread was mentioned on the Mark Levin program. I think it deserves to be in breaking news.

Apollo or the Ctr for American Progress.

Same deal, really.
