Scandals: A gun dealer's tape shows a possible coverup of a third gun found at the scene of a murdered border patrol agent. Meanwhile, a second congressional witness reports coaching of testimony on a donor's project.
That giant sucking sound you hear is the Obama administration imploding under the weight of incompetent policies based on long-discredited progressive ideology and now a wave of scandals that involve gun-running, witness-tampering and political payoffs and cover-ups of all of the above.
The infamous Watergate tape may have its rival in tapes obtained by CBS News between an agent for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and a gun dealer who helped the ATF in its botched gun-running operation into Mexico known as "Fast and Furious."
The operation was exposed when Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was killed in December 2010 at the hands of an illegal immigrant working for the Sinaloa Cartel just 10 miles from the Mexico border near Nogales, Ariz. This raised the ugly question of how U.S. law enforcement agents could wind up getting killed by guns provided with the aid of U.S. law enforcement.
Two guns linked to Fast and Furious were found at Terry's murder scene. We, and others, have pointed out the existence of a third gun found at the scene.
That third gun was the subject of conversations on tapes recorded approximately mid-March 2011 and obtained by CBS News between the primary gun dealer cooperating with ATF in its Fast and Furious operation: Andre Howard, owner of Lone Wolf Trading Co. in Glendale, Ariz., is heard talking with the lead ATF case agent, Hope MacAllister.
Court filings in cases resulting from the operation have mentioned only two guns, Romanian WASR "AK-47 type" assault rifles, found at the scene.

I can’t think of an administration so wrought with corruption, incompetence, buffoonery and myopic tendencies, this one is just a more potent and indifferent ruling ‘gang’ in a long line that enables gangs not so well organized nor intentioned to gain position. Maybe we’re a lot more like the chinese than we might like to admit and that’s why WE are all the more the threat to those on forein shores.
But sadly and irrefutably, Socialistically-slanted Gubamint is inherently corrupt as it is orchestrated and run by incompetents in search of approval from ne’er-do-wells seeking to please the masses as they corral and round them up.
The word “progressive” should always appear in scare quotes, when used as a synonym for socialist, or fascist. The American left ruined a perfectly good word (liberal), by applying it to an almost opposite ideology. Why let them away with commandeering another perfectly good word? Have you noticed any meaningful progress in the past few years?
The most obvious explanation for Obama ordering guns dumped into Mexico is for him to have an excuse to shut down gun manufacturing and confiscate guns in America.
Obama really is the anti-American Muslim terrorist that many suspect he is.

I think he's shown us many times now that his past denials ring very hollow, in light of the messes he's been caught up in since then.

My prediction........Zero will be offered top spot at the UN and he will step down before the election leading the way for Hillary which will bring back the independents. Remember the pow wow they both had during the primaries.Deals were made you can bet on it. These despicable humans are just that.
The current disgust and rage building among We The People won’t translate to them voting for Hitlery.
Zero and most DC RATs are all going to be TOAST and that includes Hitlery, IMO.
