“Police records show the chief target of Operation Fast and Furious, a man pursued by ATF agents for 18 months, was actually arrested twice in 2010 for gun and drug violations, but released,” William La Jeunesse of Fox News reported yesterday, corroborating and adding new details regarding the arrest report posted in Gun Rights Examiner.
Left unsaid in that column is what happened to the suspects as a result of that bust. La Jeunesse solves that mystery:
The case was sent to prosecutors but never filed. The Maricopa County Attorney's Office said it sent the case back to police for further investigation. Phoenix Police say they completed the investigation and resubmitted the case. No charges were ever filed.
Left unsaid about that is why no charges were filed, albeit the Fox report acknowledges a motive advanced by “critics” that “federal agents purposely allowed Acosta and his associates to continue to buy and illegally traffic guns to the Mexican cartels, not just to build a bigger case, but to develop a reason to restrict gun sales in the Southwest.”
That accusation, contrary to administration apologists and latecomer media allies engaging in damage control by dismissing and ridiculing it as “right wing conspiracy theory,” was documented in this column on January 5, 2011, when an ATF source asserted guns were walked to “pad statistics.”
