Bureaucrats fighting over turf!

Arrest and ship these miscreants to Mexico, and give them some real justice!

Yep - Send them to Mexico for trial. I doubt they’ll get off from the murder charges they deserve there!

"It's a good case," wrote Laura Sweeney, a Justice public affairs specialist about a gunwalking case known internally as Operation Wide Receiver started in 2006. "But the only obstacle will be explaining why we let them continue to send guns to Mexico while we were investigating."

There is no analogy between Wide Receiver and GunWalker, NONE. With the latter program there was no attempt to track the weapons at all; it was purely supplying illegal weapons to violent gangs under the cover of a bogus sting operation. The purpose was clearly to undermine the Second Amendment by justifying the UN Small Arms Treaty. For the media to continue to equate the two programs is beyond dishonesty; it's outright disinformation.

The only thing this data does establish is that the DOJ had foreknowledge that any such sting operation was fraught with peril. That means that only an order from on high could reasonably be expected to overcome the resulting institutional resistance. Of course, that is NOT the picture being painted here by SEE-BS.

Arming a murderous international drug cartel within a friendly foreign nation.

State-sponsored terrorism.

The NBP voter intimidation case dismissal was state sponsored racism, so does any evil this regime does shock anyone with a conscience anymore?

They were concerned how they would appear politically because that could diminish their power because, like criminals, they have no ethics.

They were not concerned nor sorrowful about the fact that they took innocent life and abetted the most evil criminals in North America.

This is a snapshot of the amorality involved within a humanist elite. And they now have control over our bodies through health “care.” They have canceled our constitution and live in power above the rule of law.

In light of the fact that the DOJ now wants to limit FOIA to the point of absurd uselessness it should be apparent that our government has in mind engaging in a level of lawlessness that would make the Cosa Nostra look like Boy Scouts.

They are not just circling wagons in a defensive maneuver anymore.

AZ sheriff says 2 guns tied to ‘Fast and Furious’

http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gGt37b9XPtmbHLT_czwVPt4I2YtQ?docId=7d1211ef6fa943a4bc21bba94783c267

An Arizona sheriff says that two guns seized as part of a major drug smuggling bust have been connected to a botched federal investigation known as “Fast and Furious.”

SNIP

The two guns were among 108 weapons seized in three busts in September and October that authorities said effectively dismantled a major drug smuggling ring tied to the Sinaloa cartel.

You’ll note that Pinal County is not a border county, and sits between Tuscon and Phoenix. So that group of guns apparently didn’t make it into Mexico - how come they got “lost”?

At first glance this looks like a selective release of documents to further the “Bush did it too” meme. Lots of information about Wide Receiver, not much about Fast and Furious.
