Obama appoints fox to watch 'Fast and Furious' henhouse
wnd ^ | 10/11/11 | Jeff Knox

Posted on 10/11/2011 9:55:15 AM PDT by Nachum

Was the new acting director of ATF involved at the inception of the criminal gunwalking scandal known as Operation Fast & Furious?

The appointment of B. Todd Jones as acting head of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, or ATF, hasn't caused much of a ripple – in the media or in the ATF. By most accounts Jones is a stand-up guy, ex-Marine, and in a refreshing change of pace, apparently not known for ignominious bouts of bad judgment. But who your friends are generally says a lot about you, and Todd Jones is a longtime friend and confidant of his boss, Eric Holder. That's got some gun owners uneasy and asking for more information about the new chief gun control enforcer.

While Jones hasn't publicly demonstrated the anti-gun bias of Holder or Obama's pick for a permanent ATF director, Andrew Traver, there are legitimate reasons for concern. Along with Jones' close associations with Holder – going all the way back to the Reno Justice Department, when Holder was in charge of the official DOJ whitewash of the Waco fiasco – there is also strong evidence that Jones was actually involved in Operation Fast & Furious from the very beginning.

I’m starting to think that Janet Reno was just the public face of Clintons DOJ and that Holder was the one behind the torching of all those white folks at Waco - oh, and the whitewash with GOP support, natch, that followed.

Indeed. But I do not think it was Holder that was running the show. It seems to be part of the Arkansas mafia and their murderous bunch. Holder was brought in to do their the legal grunt work. Now he is high enough in the pecking order to be the Janet Reno.. ie. the new Clinton patsy.

Cashill does have a way with words, doesn’t he?

I still can’t figure out how the hole got in the top of Brown’s head during a plane crash...

If he goes for 'damage control' his goose is cooked.

Not wearing his seat belt? Some items in the overhead compartment may have shifted during flight....

But, it was described, post mortem, as a BULLET hole. And then the photos disappeared.

Yes, I know. I was just trying (evidently unsuccessfully) for humor.

Well, you never can tell around here! That’s why people use those little smiley face icons, or an occasional LOL! ;^)
