Here is a little more info on that.

FBI Criminal Informant Complicit in Brian Terry’s Death (PJM Exclusive)

The rip crew was in Peck Canyon that evening with the intention of stealing money and drugs from a specific shipment of which they had prior knowledge.

(snip)

The rip crew knew to be in Peck Canyon that December evening because a CI working for the FBI found out about a smuggling run — from the FBI.

(snip)

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) — through its own CIs and communications intercepts — was also aware of the planned assault.

Neither the DEA nor FBI warned Border Patrol about the expected criminal activity.

(snip)

The federal government will still not reveal if one of the two WASR-10 AK-pattern semi-automatic rifles located near the scene — provided to the Sinaloa cartel via Operation Fast and Furious — was the weapon that put a bullet through Brian Terry’s heart. The existence of a third recovered gun, an SKS carbine, has been disputed by the FBI despite the fact it had been talked about openly in the beginning of the investigation among federal agents.

Multiple sources tell PJM that this third weapon “disappeared” because it was the weapon carried by the FBI CI who ran the rip crew. When it was recovered near the scene of the murder and subsequently traced by the ATF, it traced back to the FBI CI via the gun shop in Texas where it was purchased.

If you ever need to do research on this Nachum's List - Gunrunner-Gate is probably the best place to go. Although it is so extensive it can take a while.

Thanks. I’ve followed this story and thought I knew a lot about it. Then along comes some detail that just blows my mind.

Its like, however bad you think it is, its worse.

I'm sure you do know a lot about it and so do I yet I'm equally sure there are scores of pages of material I have missed or just don't have the stamina to read. There are other things going on after all.

This story is stunning in its brazenness and callousness though. I no longer think there is any line this administration would not cross and I see almost no concern for that in the GOP. I believe most of the GOP is now complicit, at least morally, in engaging in a criminal gangster government. Other explanations just can't cut it and no one is offering any anyway.

“Here it comes....don’t say we didn’t expect it.

Totally predictable. And NRA says Obama’s goal in 2nd term is to disarm us as much as possible.”

Yep! I have no doubt Buckwheat is setting the stage for his full and complete takeover of ALL guns within our borders. He, like the Japanese in WWII, knows that there is a gun behind every blade of grass........Hence, no Japanese invasion, knowing full well a massive army exhisted beyond their capability of destroying. When Buckwheat gets guns gone, he can declare himself “king” and who will be left to challenge that decloration? (I would hope you and I are. My guess is that not all guns get registered, or do they?)

It’s called ‘direct commercial sales’ and it’s operated by the State Department’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC).”

Is this just an old fashioned kick back thing?

I think you meant to post that to Hostage since you quoted him. IMO it’s not possible to disarm America. 250-300 million arms in the hands of 110+ million people is just too big of a job. They can’t even find 15 million illegal aliens and show them the door. The legislation itself would start a war.

They call it balance of trade. I am sure the folks down south went to a few surplus auctions to get the older stuff - plus wanting to do the best to fight the Drug cartel they want the great stuff the US gun makers provide. So they ask for help from our government and get the help by being allowed to buy the stuff from the USA.
