...a deal will be made in a back room and all will pass.....the American people will be told all has been taken care of, and all involved were “cleared”, let’s move forward from this “distraction”
Justice is just a word used to control the people.

Stupid and dangerous sting operation, politically motivated, and ultimately aimed at legal gun ownership in America. I see Holder's and Obama's hands all over it.

“The sting operation is becoming a major headache for the Justice Department, which oversees the ATF and prosecutors in Arizona who ran the sting that was aimed at tracking guns to Mexican cartel leaders in hopes of nabbing them.”

We’re talking about “nabbing” people who are already guilty of multiple crimes. How would giving them guns, even if you do know the source of the guns, help “nab” people who daily commit murder and sell drugs? I’m looking for the 25 words or less sales pitch the guy who came up with Gun Walker used to get management to buy into it. I see no mechanism where this gun running scheme would help bring down the narcos. Also, the cost; 10-25 million dollars. You’d think that for that kind of money we’d be seeing a huge string of arrests. Have there been any arrests where the primary evidence was supplied by the Gun Walker program?

I suspect that this was a scheme to prove that America was the source of the guns and that therefore, to be good neighbors with Mexico, Americans would have to give up their guns.

This article is the type of smokescreen we can expect from the Leftwing Establishment Media - now that they think they have to cover this story at all.

Just how was this Obamanista operation "...aimed at tracking guns to Mexican cartel leaders in hopes of nabbing them" (as Reuters claims) when it provided no U.S. tracking of the weapon beyond the border and did not inform Mexico of the operation or guns entering their country?

How did it "aim at" anything but proving the guns came from the US, were transported into Mexico and were later recovered at crime scenes in Mexico? Or the only "evidence" Obamanistas needed to attack Americans' 2nd Amendment rights and to redefine the Border Problem from being about drugs, criminals & illegals from Mexico, to being about guns from the US!

How could Reuters claim "...Melson accused the Justice Department of missteps..." when his testimony actually spoke of cover-ups, lying to Congress, using federal funds and informants to buy and smuggle these weapons...? How unless they intentionally aimed to misinform?

I believe this is Reuters first crack at Gun Walker.
