Washington (CNN) -- The Justice Department late Friday provided hundreds of pages of internal documents to the House committee looking into Operation Fast and Furious and related programs.

The documents sent to Rep. Darrell Issa, the California Republican who heads the committee that subpoenaed them, focus heavily on other Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives operations in which weapons were trafficked from Arizona gun dealers through straw purchasers across the border to Mexican drug cartels.

Most of the documents deal with a 2007 operation involving Fidel Hernandez, who the ATF believed would be prosecuted for gun violations in Mexico by Mexican authorities.

The ATF, then under the control of the Bush administration, planned to follow the weapons to the border, where Mexico police would continue with the operation. However, Mexican officials reported they never saw the vehicle and the weapons were lost.

More coverup from CNN. The DOJ is under investigation, so it digs up irrelevant documents from the Bush administration to muddy the waters, and CNN shouts "Bush did it!"

Saw (briefly) a report within the past few days of more ranchers and LE talking about the situation regarding southern Arizona and Texas. All claimed the white hut is lying regarding the current state of affairs of the border being safer.

That’s my take on it too.

They aren’t delivering records of Obama’s they are hiding their own and running Bush through the seive again.

We are never going to get the truth. No one will ever see the inside of a jail cell. Everything we know has been diluted with crap, covered up, papered over, fallen into the rabbit hole, and pushed through the looking glass. We are betrayed.

PING.

“We are betrayed.”

Men have betrayed us, not God, never God. Pray, with faith, that God will be on the side of good and will prevail. Maybe we should try a prayer blast. Let’s see how many of us can remember to say a prayer for our country at 7:11 this evening. It certainly can’t hurt and one should never underestimate the power of prayer.

“We are never going to get the truth.”

You are right about that. The Obama regime will get away with its crimes just like the Clinton cartel did in the 90s.

The corrupt republicrat oligarchy running America does not represent the people, and they continue to operate above the rule of law in this country.

Did the gun that killed a border patrol agent come from a shipment made during the Bush administration or during Obama’s? That is the ultimate question. In any case this kind of operation should never have been started, approved or continued.

Eric holder is a major sack of ****

In a sane world this guy would have been put in jail when he basically said “I am not going to pursue prosecuting the black pampers. I will not prosecute ‘my people’ “

Yo jackass! We is all yo people under the law!

How can any one take Holder seriously as the top law of the land?
It’s preposterous!

This guy wears his colors loud and proud and he doesn’t care it you get killed.

So if WE THE PEOPLE operate under the Constitution as it was intended, who is breaking the law? Them? Or us?

Blame congress for that. The corrupt criminals in congress are so afraid of drawing attention to their own misdeeds and ending their own gravy train that the will never demand the truth form any of their cohorts in government. It's live and let live as long as each of them gets their cut.

Oh, goody, hundreds of documents from an irrelevant operation instead of some of the 80,000 requested documents on Fast and Furious. Coverup, obstruction of justice, stonewalling, malfeasance...

We know the answer to that and it is '0bama's.'

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.

The guns used in the killing of ICE Agent Jaime Zapata also came from a Texas gun shop during the 0baMao administration. That is also a proven fact now.
