It is time for President Obama to take responsibility.
One would have a better chance of winning the lottery.
Any AK-47 sold in America would be semiauto unless you had a special permit. The Mexican cartels have more money than Exxon. Why would they buy semiauto weapons on a small scale from Texas when they easily have the means to get boatloads of full auto ones delivered over their more porous southern border? It sounds like F&F was not only a Keystone Cops operation it was also going after some really small fish. In fact the only thing that would make any sense at all would be to set up some local gun dealers, but even that doesn’t fly because the dealers were doing what the Feds asked them to do.
BTTT
The DoJ assigned a special investigator to investigate. Over a year ago. It's not done yet. If you're under twenty and live to be very old you may live to see it finished.
The pressure is building and cracks are forming all over the dams holding back the truth and what inevitably follows.
In spite of all the roadblocks and interference, people are learning more and more about what has been done and what is being done.
This is so big and the wheels turn so slowly that we feel like things are stuck and at a standstill.
Whatever karma they set in motion, they can't stop and now it's picking up speed coming back around...just a matter of time.
Treason BUMP
GOP-E BUMP
This is true. People may forget but the first indictment in Watergate didn't come until 13 months after the story broke in the press and that was with 13 months of intense media pressure.
Let's call it what it is. State-sponsored terrorism.On this side of the border it's violations of the RICO Act. In Mexico and Honduras it's state-sponsored terrorism.
What else would you call heavily arming international criminal syndicates within a foreign country wherein that country is in a death struggle with those syndicates?
Especially when it goes beyond thousands of assault rifles to include grenades, RPGs, shoulder fired rockets, anti-aircraft guns, night vision equipment, body armor and special deals to bring their drugs onto our soil with legal impunity?
Not to mention the just-revealed news that the rip crew that killed BP Agent Brian Terry was there with DEA and FBI assistance and approval to attack and kill a rival cartel's smuggling crew.
Let's not leave out the FBI and DEA laundering millions of dollars for the drug cartels by setting up bank accounts for them that they otherwise couldn't do.
It's organized, it is spread through every Federal LEA and it violates numerous domestic laws and numerous statutes and treaties that deal with foreign nations. Yet none of it has been officially sanctioned. It's the FedGov acting like mafiosa.
0bama, Holder and Hillary Clinton are all deeply involved in this and it is state-sponsored terrorism. These Chicago machine Marxist thugs are dragging our country down to the level of Tehran and Pyongyang.
The purpose of F+F was to eliminate the competition, and ensure ‘control’ of the border.
With multiple cartels, the money gets spread out too much, and there is no uniformity or discipline amongst the groups, so they run ‘wild’.
So, the corrupt ruling elite of our nation have picked one cartel to support with weapons, and ‘advisors’, and arrest or kill the competition.
Then, control of the flow of money is established, and the politicians get their cut off the top.
It’s not (and never has been) about CLOSING the border, it’s about CONTROLLING WHERE and WHAT goes over the border.
It’s a PAY TO PLAY system, with our corrupt leaders as the FAT BANKERS.
"Fast and Furious" is the worst, but there are plenty of other stories that would be considered major scandals if done by a Republican administration--violating the law to favor the unions in the auto maker bailout, Solyndra, lots of other examples of crony capitalism, dropping the charges of voter intimidation against the NBPP, ignoring the bounty on Zimmerman, buying votes to get Obamacare passed, creating "czars" to get around the requirements for Senate confirmation, appointing people to positions which require confirmation when the Senate was not in recess by pretending it was...the list goes on and on.
What are the chances that this will blow up in the face of Holder and Obama before the Election in November? Realistically?
"Grenade-walking" part of "Gunwalker" scandal
And this...
Worse Than Gunwalker? State Dept. Allegedly Sold Guns to ZetasPhil Jordan, a former CIA operative and one-time leader of U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s El Paso Intelligence Center, claims that the Obama administration is running guns to the violent Zetas cartel through the direct commercial sale of military grade weapons:
Jordan, who served as director of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s El Paso Intelligence Center in 1995, said the Zetas have shipped large amounts of weapons purchased in the Dallas area through El Paso.

“They’ve found anti-aircraft weapons and hand grenades from the Vietnam War era,” Plumlee said. Other weapons found include grenade launchers, assault rifles, handguns and military gear including night-vision goggles and body armor.
More about State Department involvement...
— has sources claiming “Obama’s man in the State Department,” (former) Deputy Secretary of State Jim Steinberg, was the State Department operative who helped Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and the Department of Justice Deputy Attorney General David Ogden formulate the strategy that led to the tactics used in Operation Fast and Furious.Steinberg took office as Deputy Secretary of State on January 28, 2009
A little more than two years later, it was announced that Steinberg's time in the Obama State Department was over. From the New York Times, 30 March 2011:
Mrs. Clinton heaped praise on Mr. Steinberg, describing him as an “indispensable” partner. “On every foreign policy challenge, big and small, he has helped formulate our policy and oversee its execution,” she wrote. Mr. Steinberg, she said, played “Oscar to Jack Lew’s Felix,” referring to Jacob J. Lew, her other deputy, who left earlier this year to become Mr. Obama’s budget director.
