ATF Death Watch 124: DEA “Cashwalker” Program Revealed
Truth About Guns ^ | December 4 2011 | Richard Farago

Posted on 12/04/2011 7:21:47 PM PST by GlockThe Vote

“Undercover American narcotics agents have laundered or smuggled millions of dollars in drug proceeds as part of Washington’s expanding role in Mexico’s fight against drug cartels, according to current and former federal law enforcement officials,” the New York Times reports. Does that sound familiar?

It’s the exact same explanation the ATF used to justify Operation Fast and Furious, wherein federal agents working for the ATF “allowed” some 2000 firearms to walk from U.S. gun stores to the Sinaloan drug cartel. Just like the DEA’s money laundering ops, ATF’s so-called “botched sting” operation was designed to “catch the big fish.” Damningly, in ten months it did no such thing.

Which begs the question: what success did the DEA’s Cashwalker program achieve? How many convictions did the “sting” technique yield for that agency? And the answer is . . . none. I repeat. Not one reported case.

“I am starting to wonder just how many elected officials and bureaucrats are on the cartel payrolls.”

Mena, Arkansas comes to mind...Gov who?...Pres who?...

I have been saying just this since Reagan left office. Both Bushes, Clinton, and of course now Obama, as well as most of the key players on both sides of the isle, have been bought off or extorted for their votes and decisions.

Many may also be Manchurian Communist/Globalists, but otherwise there is simply no other explanation for our border and illegal alien policies, entirely unsupported by the citizenry, and at direct odds with our nation’s security and sovereignty. None.

no argument from me there.

it’s easy to predict more nefarious banking regulations coming for consumers in the name of helping the war on drugs, same as the purported attack on the 2nd amendment with fast and furious.

That is how Mexico went down. When we see police officers abusing power in the streets like we have steadily increasing since the “war on terror” you know it is corruption in high places that is protecting them from prosecution.

Yet another term the left has tried to beautify, lipstick on a pig.

Community Organizer=Organized Crime. See how nicely that “organize” part moves to the + column?

The Food Stamp President said he would have a billion dollar plus re-election fund ... got his lackeys over at Justice, DEA, Homeland Security, etc. on the job. Money just rolling in ... gun sales, money laundering, extortion, union kickbacks, sex trafficking, etc. Enough organization to make organized crime jealous.

The media is just as corrupt. They are helping to cover Obama’s dirt and are willingly misleading the portion of the public who still turn to them for news. Thank God for the internet, but there are still too many people who get their information from the big three, and they WILL NOT tell the truth about Obama.

Our federal police forces are supplying arms to a terrorist organization that has killed 46,000 Mexicans in the past three years! Then, the police launder the money into account THEY set up.

Placemark for tomorrow, and thank you. BTW i get irritated by all the comments “Nothing will happen”. “These guys will walk.” “Issa will give up.” Etc.

Sick of it. We don’t KNOW the future. And sowing defeatism is not the way to win anything.
