As SOS she could have played hot potato on this one. Why on earth would she have given official comment?

Something is going down here. Clintons know not to speak of what doom they have sown.

Yeah, right. And all that “90% of guns used came from the USA” crap is just a coinkydink. Billary is up to her ears in this.

BOTCHED —that stupid word. Again.

If, suicidal, I jump off a bridge and then go splat, was the job BOTCHED? No —it was successful. Like F&F.

Why does the mass media use that word? Cuz they’re COVERING FOR THE PALS.

Should YOU be watching/reading the Legacy Media? NO. Good post, but still, m’kay...? Tiger will NOT change his stripes. Ever. They’re dead-enders.

HOW could the Castaway guns get to MS-13 via FMS, if Hillary DID NOT KNOW?

That’s impossible..!

Clinton: DOJ didn’t give State a ‘heads up’ about Fast and Furious

http://thehill.com/video/house/190225-clinton-justice-department-did-not-give-state-a-heads-up-about-fast-and-furious-

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told lawmakers Thursday that she had not been notified by the Justice Department about a botched, international gun-tracking program has been linked to the death of a Border Patrol agent. Appearing before the House Foreign Affairs committee, Clinton was questioned by Rep. Connie Mack (R-Fla.) about the State Department’s involvement in the controversial Fast and Furious operation that has triggered hearings on Capitol Hill.

Mack asked Clinton if State had issued “the Justice Department a license or a written waiver in order to allow for the transfer of thousands of weapons across the U.S.-Mexico border?”

The secretary testified that State had “no record of any request for coordination. We have no record of any kind of notice or heads up.”

“My recollection is that I heard about it from the press,” Clinton added.

Claiming that it was the first time she had been asked that question, Clinton said that she had seen “no evidence” that such a waiver was granted and promised to investigate the matter further.

Ping!

I don’t think Hillary looks very good-—but she’s still good at lying and evading......

Watched vid of arrogant napolitano being grilled about fast and furious, they all knew they are all on board and they need jail time. Because of thier deliberate actions they caused the deaths of uniformed officers and should be held responsible!

Apparently, no one in Washington knew anything. The BATF agents did dreamed this up and executed it, all by themselves. /s

Democrats need to understand that when they are in power, no one will ever believe they don't know what's going on in their alphabet agencies. They are all about knowing my blood type, medical history, bank info from my brokerage account, if I say something negative about Obama to my neighbor, if I make bootleg maple syrup, If I have a cow and drink its milk, if my son is circumcised and how many guns I own. Yeah, no one knew anything.

She’s got to maintain that “above all the dung” attitude.
IF she wasn’t such a dyke maybe she would know what’s going on. But like Everybody in this Worst Administration EVER she prefers to remain ignorant even of what’s going on in her dept. and hoping nobody working for Issa or Grassley will stumble onto someone not willing to be sacrificed for the 0 quietly.

Yes, of course. None of Obama's minions knew anything about it.

This just brings to mind an old saying; "The wheels of the gods grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine"...

Just because it's got her under-the-radar fingerprints all over it doesn't prove "I don't reacall" had anything to do with it.

Well-stated, gaijin. Also, it depends on the meaning of “heads up”.

She’s Hillaryous.
