There was, what? ONE case of them putting a GPS thingie on one gun, and it went dark that very night? More importantly, a BATF paid for the GPS thingie out of his own pocket at a Radio Shack -- because there was no budget for actually tracking the weapons!
A singular fact which proves that the whole exercise had nothing to do with actually "tracking the weapons" but was set up to do something else altogether different.

Why send Holder to Levenworth? Mexico wants extradition of those involved in this fiasco; let Holder rot in a Mexican prison.

If he didn’t know then he shouldn’t be holding on to his job,no pun intended.

I’m sure Mr. Holder wants to “distance himself” - at least as far as the orbit of Jupiter - from this debacle ! His testimony to Mr. Issa’s Committee was like listening to Jack Lemon !
Tuesday, his - and his minions’- testimony alleging OFF was a “sting operation targeting drug cartel leadership” got knifed when Mr. D. Codrea of Gun Rights Examiner published allegations, thanks to BATF and FBI manipulation of the ICS System, enabled “prohibited persons” - with no known connections to Mexican cartels - to obtain firearms in Indiana ! A fact, if proven true, pretty well kills the OA meme of OFF being limited to a trans-border sting operation.

Personally I prefer they reside in Joliet. Or is Joliet lower security than Marion? Joliet is a state prison. Marion is a federal pen.

They BOTH knew what was going to happen. It certainly appears that they knew exactly what was going on.
So. THREE top officials IN THE WHITE HOUSE are directly involved and none of them are going to go pumping themselves up to little bammy about their clever little scheme?
That has got to be the three most iron-willed, well disciplined donks in the u.S.
And NO, I am not buying that load of crap "I didn't know" for one minute. If there is one thing a hard core donk loves to do it is self promotion to superiors while sniffing around for points and promotions.

If Holder was not really involved (and even idiots know he was), then he would prosecute those who WERE involved to the fullest extent of the law.
The Government of Mexico must REALLY like Obama. They have said very little about this.

“The notion that somehow or other that this thing reaches into the upper levels of the Justice Department is something that, at this point, I don’t think is supported by the facts,” Holder told reporters.”
Perhaps this is Holder’s meaning of “IS” moment.

There are murders of police and children across the USA
because of Holder and Obama and the ultracorrupt DOJ.
Holder has made the DOJ a joke for the rest of this
century.
DOJ - The Agency of murderers against the American Homeland.

Well, hadn’t thought of that. But perhaps you’re right, Mexico should have first crack at him.
Then again, why can’t we have a crack at him too? He got our people killed too. Maybe we can put him on border detail. One day he’s on the US side, the next the Mexican side.

My fondest hopes are that Fast and FuriousGate will take out both Holder and Nappy, and if we get lucky (if they were sloppy with email) maybe even Zero.

What you think ultimately may not matter one whit, Eric.

Holder is a moron if he thinks anyone will believe this program was adopted and put into action without some approval at a high level. Particularly since it affected Mexican law enforcement interests.
