Scandal: A prime suspect in the smuggling of weapons to Mexico was captured and released on a promise of cooperation and with the instruction not to engage in criminal acts unless instructed by the U.S. government.
If the purpose of Fast and Furious, the gun-running operation directed out of the Phoenix office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was to track and capture those involved in smuggling illegal firearms to Mexico, it seemingly succeeded with the May 29, 2010, capture of Manuel Fabian Celis-Acosta as he drove his BMW in a remote area of Arizona near the Mexican border.
Documents obtained by the Los Angeles Times show that Acosta was found with 74 rounds of ammunition and nine cellphones in his car as he headed south through the border town of Lukeville, Ariz.
An ATF "Report of Investigation" shows Border Patrol agents stopped Acosta's truck and found illegal materials including an "AK-type, high-capacity drum magazine loaded with 74 rounds of 7.62 ammunition underneath the spare tire."
They also noted ledgers including a "list of firearms such as an AR15 short and a Bushmaster" and a "reference about money given to 'killer.'"
The Times notes that Acosta was the "main target" in Fast and Furious, according to internal ATF documents, so his capture was a big deal. Acosta was the string that, if pulled, could have unraveled a significant portion of the drug- and gun-smuggling operations of the Mexican cartels.

We should not weary of the struggle for justice until Eric Holder is under indictment for complicity in the murder of Brian Terry.
Critical players in Fast and Furious have been transferred to Washington jobs were they can be watched and silenced. Connsidering what she’s done and knows, she might wind up in thw witness protection program after Eric Holder’s criminal trial.

Why do reports continue to discuss “tracking” when there was no such element in this plot?
msm spin machine...after soaking in straight bleach for a year. See what you get when that spin cycle is done.
