I believe you're right and there is still more.
Worse Than Gunwalker? State Dept. Allegedly Sold Guns to ZetasPhil Jordan, a former CIA operative and one-time leader of U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s El Paso Intelligence Center, claims that the Obama administration is running guns to the violent Zetas cartel through the direct commercial sale of military grade weapons:
Jordan, who served as director of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s El Paso Intelligence Center in 1995, said the Zetas have shipped large amounts of weapons purchased in the Dallas area through El Paso.

“They’ve found anti-aircraft weapons and hand grenades from the Vietnam War era,” Plumlee said. Other weapons found include grenade launchers, assault rifles, handguns and military gear including night-vision goggles and body armor.
More about State Department involvement...
— has sources claiming “Obama’s man in the State Department,” (former) Deputy Secretary of State Jim Steinberg, was the State Department operative who helped Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and the Department of Justice Deputy Attorney General David Ogden formulate the strategy that led to the tactics used in Operation Fast and Furious.Steinberg took office as Deputy Secretary of State on January 28, 2009
A little more than two years later, it was announced that Steinberg's time in the Obama State Department was over. From the New York Times, 30 March 2011:
Mrs. Clinton heaped praise on Mr. Steinberg, describing him as an “indispensable” partner. “On every foreign policy challenge, big and small, he has helped formulate our policy and oversee its execution,” she wrote. Mr. Steinberg, she said, played “Oscar to Jack Lew’s Felix,” referring to Jacob J. Lew, her other deputy, who left earlier this year to become Mr. Obama’s budget director.

My photo was from “The Third Man.”
It is indeed curious why they are bending over backwards to hide the identity of this third gun. Somehow it leads to where they truly fear to go.
1. Crazy Ohio private suicide zoo guy - 1 year spent in jail for WEAPONS VIOLATION
2. Victor Bout, Russian arms dealer & inspiration for “Lord of War” - On trial for dealing weapons to drug dealers in Latin America
LESSON: When POTUS is diverse & liberal the law only applies to, “little people”.
Challenge: Construct an argument refuting the idea that Obama is different from dictators in Africa. Use logic and examples to do that.
There’s also the story of the grenades operation (Indiana IIRC). Not only numerous players by numerous plays. So much to go wrong, so much hanging fruit...
Well, well. Sounds like the third gun will trace back to some other horrible government initiative we don’t yet know about.
This Administration SUCKS.
The SKS is in the FBI oubliette right next to the front door from Mt. Carmel.
...Yer right, They sure "bollocksed" this one up...
uhbummer is the pusher and wanna be dictator
We all know dang well that if this were a Pubbie admin, that people would have already been jailed for this.
This just makes me want to spit nails I’m so frustrated.
Prayerfully, as per a fellow FReeper, Melson gave Issa a thumb/flash drive when he testified on July 4th ~
What's beginning to intrigue me, is the fact of Hillary in all this "bollocksing". Hillary and Bill are not newbies to intrigue and scandal coverups. Certainly to the point of being in the pro league vs. these bush league shenanigans.Yet it seems she's embroiled in some way in this as well. Without having the time to flesh out my thoughts on this to any great degree, I'm still wondering whether she's been playing the administration's game, or one of her own that we haven't seen any evidence of as yet.
Thee third weapon is being hidden because it comes from a gun dealer who, if discovered, will make the situation worse for the DOJ, so they are hidding the second gun dealer....is he a prominant liberal...maybe sold many more onerous weapons to the cartels such as Barrett Sniper rifles in .50 cal?
Whatever the case, the FBI is back peddling like all get out so that Issa does not discover the second gun dealer’s identity , or the guns he provided.What if he also provided hand grenade components?
Something is up.
Thanks
‘Goodness, that’s awkward.’

I think you hit the nail on the head with No. 2.
When hillery finally threw in the towel during the primary, I knew they weren't giving up. She may have given up on the presidency but the Clintons NEVER give up on getting even.
Issa already knows about 36 Barret .50 BMG rifles allowed to walk to the cartels.
Ouch. That's going to leave a mark.
Looks like Grassley & Issa pwned the FBI and their indignant rant.
