Washington - In the late summer of 2010, the ATF agent leading the failed Fast and Furious gun-smuggling operation in Arizona flew to Mexico City to help coordinate cross-border investigations of U.S. weapons used by Mexican drug cartels. Hope A. MacAllister wanted access to police and military vaults for American weapons recovered by Mexican authorities in raids and at crime scenes. She especially was interested in firearms from another ATF investigation, code-named White Gun, that she was running. Now members of Congress who have spent months scrutinizing the Fast and Furious debacle are seeking to determine whether White Gun

Add that to Four Square, Solyndra and a host of other scandals, and its amazing Obama is doing as well as he is in the polls.

That’s probably because the GOP Presidential candidates are doing so well with Mainstream Media supplied ammunition in those circular firing squad spectacles called “debates”.

That stack on Boehner’s desk sure is getting higher and higher.

He’ll get to all of these illegal actions by the POTUS at some point in time.

Is there more than what might have been missing from the trunk?

When you have a propaganda department that’s the majority of the MSM you can get away with a lot and the people aren’t safe.

You forgot a couple steps and at least two agencies... They should, immediately on conviction in court (and their employment by any of these agencies can be used as a presumption of guilt) be hanged by the neck until dead, their homes and personal property transferred to their victims/families and the offices they used torn down and the land sown with salt as a lasting memorial to their perfidy. The other agencies must needs include: IRS, DEA, EPA, FBI, FANNIE-MAE, FREDDY-MAC and any and all fedgov creations not specified IN THE CONSTITUTION.

I agree. It’s pathetic that they aren’t going after the sissy-in-chief but keep attacking one another.

A second case involved cartel members who were seeking shoulder-launched antiaircraft missiles and antitank rockets, according to the ATF records.

The same undercover agent met the pair in February 2010 at a Phoenix warehouse. David Diaz-Sosa and Jorge DeJesus-Casteneda brought 11 pounds of crystal methamphetamine to trade for weapons. The undercover agent showed them shoulder-launched missiles, rocket launchers and grenades before ATF agents moved in and arrested them.

What's curious here is that there's nothing supporting their need for "Demand" letters from stores in the southwest about the reporting of multiple sales of so called "assault weapons" and .50 caliber "sniper" rifles. Wrap it up. That's all folks.

Oh, but the 0bama whitehouse is “scandal free”...

“Obama Miracle is White House Free of Scandal: Jonathan Alter”

It’s “scandal free”, you scumbags, because you take a “see-no-evil” approach to 0bama.

the money shot...

Just as Guzman Patino seemed ready to buy, according to the ATF records, the investigation into his activities abruptly ended. The documents do not explain why, and they don't indicate whether he obtained any weapons.
