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?
Yeah really.
To add to what you highlighted, this stood out for me when I read the OP.
Republican lawmakers have accused the Justice Department of withholding for months requested documents and interviews with key officials about the program, a charge officials denied.
The cheap whore reporter frames it as if there's two sides of the issue - Issa and Co. have "accused" "officials" of a "charge" that said officials have "denied."
It's an objective FACT of life (not an accusation) that Holder (not "officials") have outright refused to produce the requested documents. That the documents haven't been produced can't be "denied" any more than one can deny the stars in the sky.
