There is an angle to this which I had not thought of before.

I think this whole setup was a collaboration between the media and Obama’s regime. Remember for the last few years how much the media has been drumming up support for blaming American gun owners for Mexican violence?

Now I doubt they all sat around in a smoke filled room and sketched out how they would jointly run the operation. I suspect it was a word here or there and an acknowledgement or so to the point that both knew what was going on.

Of course I could be wrong and they really did meet at say a backroom during a media day at the white house.

That is why the media are giving the story very little coverage and what they do is to claim it was a good idea not carried out properly, when in fact it was carried out exactly like they wanted except they didn’t expect anyone to call them on it. And so far no one really has.

“Gunrunner” : let the smugglers buy the weapons, then arrest them before getting to the border.
“Fast and Furioius” : let the smugglers buy the weapons, then let them cross the border and then wait for the weapons to show up next to a dead body.

Is “harebrained scheme” another term for felonious gun selling, murder and treason?

The press is the enemy of We The People. The ‘press’ is on their bakcs for the democrat party criminal enterprise and the socialist destruction of the Republic. The ‘press’ is aiding and abetting criminality by purposely avoiding the truth and feeding the masses the lies issued forth from the axelfraud cesspool.

Now for the sigint side of the conundrum.

Where else are they plalying musical chairs with ATF, DEA, DHS, and other DOJ personnel to cover their tracks before the investigation digs into their particular anthill?

Will this story ever get traction in this climate??? Sickening, truly sickening.

I guess Operation Castaway was put on a back burner.

If the appropriate amount of digging is done, or the right people open up, I expcet there were operations in WA, OR, CA, NV, AZ, IL, IA, NM, OK, TX, AR, crossing LA, MS, AL, in FL and GA, too. and perhaps more.

The arrows on a graphic I saw showing the 'flow of guns south' either originated in or passed through those states.

If this operation was partly to amass 'evidence' that American-sold firearms were ending up in Mexican Cartel hands, then those areas would coincide with the alleged problem areas.

Of course that 'data' was most likely going to be used in order to justify pushing for either The UN Small Arms Treaty or other onerous Federal infringements on our Second Amendment Rights. That Conspiracy to take away a Fundamental Right is cause enough for impeachment, arrest, and felony conviction should the evidence so show, but the cover-up, perjury, lying to Congress, and Obstruction of Justice are ancilliary charges which may well widen the net.

I would not be surprised to find the extent of this operation is sufficient, involving enough agencies and offices and personnel to be mind-boggling in its scope and geographic distribution, a level of corruption heretofore unseen in our history.

To add to that, people on both sides of our southern border have died as a result of these weapons being funneled into criminal hands.

If this is dug out to its limits, there won't likely be many democrats above the rank of animal control officer left to run for barry's job.

We need the following graphic on tee shirts:

“Obama ran 2000 guns to Mexican drug cartels, and all I got was this . . . oh, wait - can’t talk about that.”

Perhaps on the back, a photo of Obama saying, “I am not a crook.”
