In Operation Fast and Furious and at least three earlier probes during the administration of President George W. Bush, agents in Arizona employed a risky tactic called gun-walking -- allowing low-level "straw" buyers in gun-trafficking networks to leave with loads of weapons purchased at gun shops.

Total BS! MSM LIES!

NO technically that is true. And it was risky but the diff is that the bush-era walking was less ambitious and did include efforts to include tracing.

In Obama era walking there was only one case of a tracking attempt when a street level officer went into a radiO shack and bought a gps tracker with his own funds and it went dark in mexico just 15 hours later.

Holder is going to run out the clock, get a pardon and walk. He will get a massive federal pension for murder.

Romney will let it happen without a quiver. Remember Bush letting all of Clinton's thugocracy walk away, including Sandy Burger raiding the Library of Congress to clean up any loose ends? Why should Romney be any different?

Technically?

In reality Fast & Furious was NOT a sting operation gone wrong. It was never intended to be that. It was clearly an excuse to expand gun restrictions in the US. And probably to help one set of Drug Lords in Mexico against another set of Drug Lords in Mexico

These are evil people we have running our government. They fully intend on destruction of the US and enslavement of the people.
