TREASON - in real-time, pre-meditated, in-your-face, unquestioned, abetted, unchecked, continuous, ongoing...

I suppose its too much to hope that they squeeze this b*st*rd until he squeals like a pig.

The corruption in this government is too endemic.

What became of Gillett? Promoted? Still drawing his federal pay?

” Grassley has sent a letter to the Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz asking for further investigation.

From the letter:

Documentation appears to indicate that during Operation Fast and Furious, Mr. Gillett made multiple firearm purchases at a Federal Firearm Licensee (FFL) in Phoenix. According to the forms, Mr. Gillett appears to have purchased weapons on December 15, 2009,[2] January 5, 2010,[3] and January 7, 2010.[4] Documents show the residence listed on the Firearms Transaction Record (Form 4473) for two of the gun purchases was the local Phoenix ATF office. For the third purchase, Gillett listed a commercial shopping center in Phoenix as his residence.[5] Clearly, the addresses on the forms do not accurately and truthfully reflect Gillett’s actual residence in Phoenix.

Lying on a Form 4473 is a felony and can be punished by up to five years in prison, in addition to fines. Many individuals who were arrested in Fast and Furious were charged for lying on the Form 4473. Jaime Avila, Jr. recently plead guilty to a variety of charges, including making false statements in connection with the acquisition of a firearm, and his initial arrest just after Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry’s murder was for giving a false address on Form 4473.

One of the most troubling aspects of this new information is that one of the weapons listed as having been purchased by Gillett was recently recovered in Sinaloa, Mexico, the same weekend and in the same area as a shootout between the Mexican military and drug cartel members in Sinaloa, Mexico.

The January 7, 2010, purchase included an FN Herstal 57 Caliber pistol. According to documents, this weapon was recently recovered in an attempted homicide in between Caitime and Mocorito in the Guamuchil area of Sinaloa, Mexico.[6] Mexico’s CENAPI requested the trace from ATF’s National Tracing Center on November 29, 2012, and an initial trace was completed on December 4, 2012.[7] Another trace on the weapon was completed on December 10, 2012, indicating that the purchaser of the weapon was the former ASAC of ATF’s office in Phoenix, George Gillett.[8]

During his OIG investigation of Operation Fast and Furious, Horowitz found Gillett’s judgement and management seriously deficient.”

December 14, 2012 ~ Newtown happened. December 19, 2012 the story about the ATF weapon killing the Mexican beauty queen happened.

Obviously ATF and White House aides knew long before 12/19 that the story was coming out.

Which certainly raises some questions about why the 12/14 event happened.

Certainly feeds the idea that the Obama Regime engineered all of it.

Although we covered this pretty thoroughly when we first found out, it's worth another look because THESE are the people who will be knocking on your door if obama/holder have their way.

Holder is obviously not going to charge him. Holder probably even ordered him to do it. I wonder if state authorities can arrest him?

Records show the gun was purchased in January 2010 by George Gillett, the former No. 2 in the ATF office in Phoenix. Gillett now works at ATF headquarters in Washington as a liaison to the federal Bureau of Prisons.

ATF Ignored Death Threats, Tried to Frame Whistleblower Agent to Cover Corruption

Katie Pavlich
News Editor, Townhall

Jay Dobyns is a father, husband and 25-year highly respected and highly decorated Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms Special Agent.

...”When Dobyns essentially “blew the whistle” on Newell, pointing out his failures to address violent death threats against a federal agent, he was retaliated against. Newell dismissed the threats and then covered up his blatant dismissal of those threats within the Phoenix Field Office.

.....”When Dobyns reported the incident to both ATF and Newell. He asked for an investigation into the case. Newell not only refused to investigate, calling the incident “just scorching,” but allowed his subordinates, including Gillett, to attempt to frame Dobyns, accusing him of purposely burning down his own home with his family inside, has named him as a suspect and is investigating him. Newell conspired to destroy and fabricate evidence to “prove” his case. Emails, witness testimony, phone conversations and other documentation show the ATF Phoenix Field Divisions’ intentions, led by Newell, were to frame Dobyns, yet Newell denied under oath any involvement in this activity. His subordinates Gillett and ATF Tucson Group Supervisor over Operation Wide Receiver Charles Higman, also denied any attempts to frame Dobyns under oath, despite evidence showing otherwise.”

It’s important to remember that we’re dealing with a man who likes the idea of leaving babies to die in a closet. Not that he did orchestrate Newtown, but we can’t just dismiss the idea either.

If we truly had a Free Press, during Obamas Gun Control rant the other day, the pictures of Eric Holder and Company GIVING GUNS to the Drug Cartels would be flashing on the screen when He talked about Straw Buyers selling guns to gangs. Pathetic
