Someone is worried that F&F will be a campaign issue.

I agree. Best I can tell it's from GUILTY to NOT GUILTY. Maybe.

Both men have pleaded guilty to charges that include conspiracy and dealing firearms without a license

I smell a deal, the question is with who, Holder or the senate?

>> Change from what to what?

“The men have pleaded guilty”, so, guilty to innocent.

>> Worst excerpt of the day!

Incredible as it may seem, the forum rules actually permit clicking on the linky thing to read more, if you aren’t happy with the excerpt.

I wouldn’t imagine the feds would be too happy about this - a simple guilty plea from the punks they allowed to ‘walk’ with ilegally bought weapons would be to their advantage if the goal was to keep things quiet.

I just read this story on AZstarnet, and the name of one of the perps jumped out at me because hubby had been telling me about a little girl who was abducted sometime Friday night/Saturday morning. The girl’s last name is the same as one of the Fast and Furious plea dealers. (Celis) Anywho, I have no idea if there is any relation whatsoever. Here is the link to the missing girl story:

“botched”

Only if getting caught means “botched”.

Otherwise everything went according to plan.
Flood the cartels with American weapons, to provide an excuse for outlawing weapons.

Had to be Holder telling them to change and he would help them out or their laywers told them to change because they know Holder is not going to let out anything that might help incriminate them.
