Officials at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) who oversaw the lethal gun-walking scheme, Operation Fast and Furious, have reportedly been suspended for their actions -- perhaps because of a forthcoming report from the Office of the Inspector General.

Katie Pavlich at Townhall writes:

This is Obama's WATERGATE. Obama directed that this travesty of justice be done.

Nobody else had the power. Nobody else could direct this, nobody but Obama.

Like Watergate, they through the pawns at the problem trying to protect the king. Will Issa be successful and get Obama's name on the headlines? NOT A CHANCE. The elite in Washington do not want the little people to have too much ammunition. They might figure out the other scams going on right in front of them.

Not a single Dept. of Injustice weenie suspended, fired or indicted .... just a few low-level pukes that can be pardoned later if they keep their mouths shut. Yes, pardoned before they ever get to trial or anything. Tick, tick, tick .... the statute of limitations just ticking away. Any Republican, including RINOs, winning the Presidency should let Mexico know that the new Justice Dept. will not fight any extradition requests for personnel within the Justice Dept. Any requests for ATF, FBI, or ICE personnel will not be honored if the personnel confess and squeal on their superiors at Justice.

Yes, put me on, thanks.
I hem-hawed around, feeling that there has been a lot of jawboning about F & F, but no action. But put me on. Something might actually happen. Thanks again.

I got suspended from high school for missing school on the first day of deer season. The suspension was for one day.

That used to be a school holiday around here. I hope you got another day of hunting in (if you needed it).

NOT good enough. Not nearly good enough. I want to see murder charges brought, Treason charges brought, I want to see repeal of a lot of the gun laws on the books like the 1934 NFA, the Hughes Amendment, portions of the 1968 GCA including the sporting purpose clause, and many, many others if the Government wants atonement.

What you said.
