The cover-up of Fast and Furious is unraveling at breakneck speed. As a result of the ongoing investigation by Rep. Darrell Issa, Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, the LA Times and Townhall.com are both reporting Mexico has been kept in the dark about the deadly fallout of the botched operation.
While information about the mounting carnage trickles out, a black cloud has descended over the White House, the DOJ and American-Mexican relations.
From Townhall.com:
"I would be remiss if I didn't mention, as the Attorney General in Mexico is so concerned, she's made the point that at least 200 Mexicans have been killed with these weapons and probably countless more," Issa said. [snip]This is not surprising, considering out of 2500 weapons the Obama Justice Department allowed to "walk," and that only 600 have been recovered, the rest are lost until they show up at violent crime scenes.
The LA Times:
Marisela Morales, Mexico's attorney general and a longtime favorite of American law enforcement agents in Mexico, told The LA Times that she first learned about Fast and Furious from news reports. And to this day, she said, U.S. officials have not briefed her on the operation gone awry, nor have they apologized...

What were they thinking??????
“the Attorney General in Mexico is so concerned, she’s made the point that at least 200 Mexicans have been killed with these weapons and probably countless more”
Sorry maam, nothing comes between a democrat and their attempts to disarm Americans.
you don’t know?
Seems to me that Obama has caused America to fit our own definition of a terror supporting nation.
Eric Holder is in a body count competition with Cosa Nostra.
Especially with all those bitter-clinging Tea Party freaks and their obsession with the Founding Fathers...
FYI:
Drip drip drip
One could quibble that whoever wielded these guns in Mexico would have easily been able to get other guns from elsewhere, and the carnage would not have been different. But still it stinks that Holder made America a party to something it didn’t need to be a party to, and wouldn’t have been a party to, if it had followed its own rules.
No, I don’t know. This is bizarre.
I don’t know and the majority of the American people don’t know.
I don’t watch CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC (except for business), but I presume “Fast and Furious” has no coverage there.
Because as we know, Tea Partiers are always taking their guns down to Mexico to trade them for some tequila!
The Republican Party in DC needs to shut down the government until a special prosecutor is named to investigate Holder. Just pack up and leave town and tell ‘em they’ll come back when Issa gets to name his choice.
Abandon the House — no quorum. Sounds like a plan. If Rats can do it in Texas and Wisconsin, why not Pubs in DC?
>> What were they thinking??????
A grindhouse plot like that of Machete?
Or, something that would have been written by Edgar Allen Poe?
And Obama is headed where for vacation?
Hey Holder and your punk boss, Obama. Resign now....maybe you can avoid prison.
That makes Holder guilty of 200 counts of negligent homicide, treason against the state and criminal stupidity. A trifecta.
I am still waiting to hear obama’s explanation of what he meant when he said he was “working on gun control under the radar”. If it means what I think it means he and the rest of his idealogical commie appointees are heading for sing sing.
