Another weapon from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agency's controversial Operation Fast and Furious was recently recovered at a Mexican crime scene, CBS News has learned. Congressional investigators say the crime scene was likely where a recent shootout took place between reported Sinaloa drug cartel members and the Mexican military, in which Sinaloa beauty queen Maria Susana Flores Gamez and four others were killed.
According to Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, the Justice Department did not notify Congress of the Fast and Furious firearm recovery in November, even though Grassley has requested an accounting of weapons that surface from the case.

No doubt the administration knew of this weapon before the election and decided to keep it quiet until they had more flexibility.
Where is the media, Obama & Holder’s call for gun control on Fast and Furious? Mexico has strict gun control laws.
This was an act by Obama and Holder to undermine the stability of the Mexican government by arming drug cartels. They also attempted to undermine the 2nd Amendment rights of U.S. citizens by jacking up illegal sales of guns.
The mod removed my pics!
Rush covered this story during the last hour. Maybe it will get legs. He also cited a report that Obama BFFs Vlad Putin and Hugo Chavez have agreed to start a manufacturing facility for AK-47s in Venezuela. Doe this mean AKs will be cool again?
(from the article) ~ : “According to Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, the Justice Department did not notify Congress of the Fast and Furious firearm recovery in November, even though Grassley has requested an accounting of weapons that surface from the case.”
and we are surprized that there has been NO cooperation.. Why ?
Considering “ Fast and Furious “ , the “ Just-Us “ dept. has been less than cooperative .
Nine people resign from the justice Dept. ( I know ~ an oxymoron) and justice is satisfied ? Not Hardly !!
Criminal conspiracy and coercion a few steps from the Communist-in-Chief , prosecutorial misconduct and nothing else .. ?
.. and they keep their pensions ?
That’s justice ? I think NOT !
Benghazi is just “ Fast and Furious Part Deux “ .. and still no answers ..
Heads should roll !!
We have Justice denying info to Congress, we have contempt citations issued, and we have an illegal alien sexual offender's presence being kept quiet until after the election.
All this from the most open administration in history
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list

Yes, the woman is dead, please show some respect. Now is not the time for those pictures.
My bad. I didn’t read the article, just the title with her name and beauty queen...sorry.
It only took two years to get any answers about “Fast and Furious “ ,.. and then we only got resignations ?
Arming foreign country terrorists in Mexico and Lybia by our administration ~ truely an international embarassment !
And no prosecution ?
The adminsitration should be brought up on RICO charges !
waiting for your phony tear apology ....I guess we will be waiting for a while
Obama is a murdering weasle coward armed with predator drones

No story here. The One and Only in Sodom on the Potomac is beyond harm. His propaganda ministry (formerly known as the MSM) will protect him.
Can anyone explain why the GOP house appropriates one thin dime to DOJ until they begin to show some freakin’ respect to congress?
They are in open contempt, and the GOP does absolutely nothing.
Part of the Justice Department guns-for-criminals program. But God forbid an American citizen should own an “assault rifle”.
I’m calling for gun control over our Govt and Holder to be charged over this and get obama on th stand about this and Libya, hell we still do not know where he was during the attacks, did he watch, did he go to sleep as Americans were waiting for help and what did obama do and why did he lie.
This was an act by Obama and Holder to undermine the stability of the Mexican government by arming drug cartels. .
According to the Geneva Convention of 1949, and the Protocols, that is an "act" of war.
They also attempted to undermine the 2nd Amendment rights of U.S. citizens by jacking up illegal sales of guns .
And none dared call it treason.
We are in for a bumpy ride...
5.56mm
fancy that - who’da thunk it
The above have the video of the shootout or part of it, no photos of blood and guts. .
OOps! Bammy murders one of the beautiful people.
and the hits just keep right on coming... i guess if this doesn't pizz off the mexkins, nothing will
Thank you for the ping. How sad that such a lovely woman was killed, however indirectly, by our TinC (Traitor).
And let’s not forget the 2+ billion hollow point bullets that Obama’s people have on order.
An Obamagun to complete the set of Obamafone and Obamacar.
A trace report shows the rifle was purchased by Uriel Patino, the Fast and Furious suspect who allegedly bought more than 700 weapons while under ATF's watch.
So, over two thousand + hundreds.
This one guy bought more than seven hundred. so how many "hundreds" plus the original "over two thousand"??
Are we talking several thousand "hundred" more?
What is the difference between owebama and a mass murderer?
Hah! You ain’t seen nothing yet.
I have long suspected this as a motive & posted such. To my knowledge, you are the first freeper to agree with me.
The Obama Adm always aims to kill as many birds with one stone as possible.
Thansk, but I believe I read that in an article somewhere yesterday. I hadn’t thought of it intentionally being done, but that’s what was being done in actuality.
Is it possible that you could relocate that article? Was it a FR thread?
Here’s part of my referenced source about the implied attack on the 2nd Amendment:
“Please, by all means, let’s have a discussion about how the Second Amendment can be used in a responsible way from a man who ran a gun candy store for Mexican drug lords.
The only thing that we need more than a serious discussion about race from the New Black Panther Party’s advocate who called us a “Nation of Cowards”, is for some “hard questions” about the right to bear arms from a man who killed thousands as a ploy to sabotage that right.”

I don’t remember the source for the mentioned undermining of the Mexican government. I think we can safely expect that arming Mexican drug gangs with a large number of weapons would serve to de-stabilize the government of Mexico.
