The second of two reports examining who's to blame over the federal anti-gunrunning scheme known as Operation Fast and Furious exonerates top officials at the Department of Homeland Security, but paints a picture of ineptitude, ignorance and mismanagement at the DHS operations in Arizona.

A report by the Homeland Security inspector general, obtained Friday by Fox News, concluded many in the agency's Arizona operation knew for a long time the U.S. helped criminals smuggle guns to Mexico in violation of policy, but did nothing to stop it.

Further, the report said word of the gun-smuggling operation within DHS never traveled beyond Arizona -- and claimed Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director John Morton and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano were never informed of the role ICE played.

And I’m guessing all the people behind Napolitano are ‘in the dark’ as well.

Cover-up.

The whole thing started when Obama and the President of Mexico complained for the TV cameras about American gun sales to Mexico. And Hildabeast also did several photo ops, blaming American gun dealers for Mexican violence.

It was OBVIOUSLY deliberate. And OBVIOUSLY intended to lead to more gun control.

Obama, Hildabeast, and Holder were all in on it from the start.

If Washington knew about it, they broke the law. If they didn’t know about it (yeah, right) then they are too incompetent to hold those positions.

Now Napolitano gets to stand up in front of Congress and say, “What does it matter???”
