Eric Holder gave false info. to a Congressional Committee last May about ATF operations tied to the deaths of two U.S. Agents; we have the proof.
(SALEM, Ore.) - New information indicates that U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder's actions are squarely behind the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms) operation known as "Fast and Furious", which orchestrated the delivery of almost 2,000 weapons to Mexican drug cartels[1].
Holder openly proclaimed his connection to the operation in April 2009 during a publicized speech in Mexico, then told a Congressional Committee in May 2011, "I probably heard of Fast and Furious the first time in the last few weeks."[2]
The ATF weapons smuggling ring involved the arrest of several government officials with the city of Columbus, New Mexico including the mayor and police chief, but that is all[3].

Very informative. I was not really “up” on the “Fast and Furious” thing. Thanks.

From the article (found it interesting):
Also, as revealed in our recent reports, there are major stores in Mexico of what Robert Plumlee refers to as, ‘high impact weapons’ which include anti-aircraft guns, rocket propelled grenade launchers and mortars. These weapons are of U.S. origin, they are ample and they include the latest and most deadly, the same high tech weaponry currently deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. While not fully tallied, there are reported sites where thousands and thousands of these weapons exist, along with ‘knock-off’ Mexican army uniforms[11].
Clinton was impeached, and that really got him for his crimes, you bet.
This “Gunwalker “ thing is much bigger then Watergate or Iran Contra, but the Media is asleep at the wheel.
Obama is protected by the Media ——for what reason ?
Holder knew it all, he and Obama are behind it.
Frustrating. Operation gunrunner IS NOT the same as Operation Fast and Furious. This administration wants us to consider them synonomous but they were not.
The fact is that early on in this Regime, Hillary shot her mouth off accusing America of sending guns to Mexico. It was a crock and everyone knew it but the gurus of this administration said Hmmmmmm, what if???? With that they made her outlandish statements a reality with Gunrunner. She, Obammy and Holder were in “tinker” mode at the time. They were all intoxicated with passing Obamacare and thought themselves to be invincible. Gunrunner was launched to make the US population look like it was they who were suppliers. Now that they have been caught, it is the media’s job to downplay their antics. What a joke they are.
I remember when we had the Mexican President Felipe Calderón lecturing the Congress, he mentioned that Mexico got its illegal weapons from the USA on May 20, 2011. Could this be what he was talking about?
Remember Nixon was run out of office over the Watergate break in cover up and NO ONE DIED.
Wasn’t some ball player looking at time for less?
I’ve about given up out of the same frustration.

Fast and Furious and Gunrunner are not the same thing.
Honduras? Why would ATF walk guns to Honduras?
and this........
Obama Admin Lobbying Honduras To Allow Zelaya Back In? Are You Kidding?
What could possibly be the motive behind this lunacy?
On the last day of December last year, Manuel “Mel” Zelaya, the deposed Honduran president and self-described victim of high-frequency radiation attacks by Israeli mercenaries, vowed to the press that he would return to Honduras. Few outside of Honduras have paid much attention to Zelaya’s MacArthur-esque prediction, but it has become apparent there is more behind his declaration than his usual hyperbole and bombastic absurdities.
Behind the scenes in the Obama administration there appears to be a concerted effort to pressure the democratically elected government of President Porfirio Lobo to dismiss charges of misappropriation of government funds and falsifying documents that are pending against Zelaya. This would open the door for his return to the country, and would be certain to undermine the delicate process of reestablishing democracy and order that is currently taking place in this poor and beleaguered nation.
When Zelaya was removed from office in July of 2009, the Obama administration at first joined with leftist dictators Fidel Castro of Cuba, Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, and Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua in calling for his reinstatement. The Obama White House seemed oblivious to the Honduran constitution, as well as the threat Zelaya posed to the stability of the country and the region. When the courageous Honduran people held firm to their democratic constitution and refused to yield to the pressure exerted by the U.S., the Obama administration found no way of saving face other than reversing course and backing the democratic presidential elections called for by their constitution.
The Honduran Connection 7.7.11 Now we know why Hillary Clinton and Obama were falling all over themselves to support and prop-up the Honduran Marxist dictator-wannabe, Manuel Zelaya back in 2009. I never could figure out why they would create such blatantly unflattering, pro-Marxist optics for the Obama regime for a small country like Honduras. Now it all makes perfect sense. Zelaya attempted to overthrow the Honduran constitution and install himself as dictator for life, a la Hugo Chavez. The Honduran Congress AND Supreme Court followed their Constitutional Rule of Law to the letter and removed Zelaya. Within hours Obama and Clinton were threatening Honduras and demanding that the Marxist dictator Zelaya be re-installed. Now we know why. Obama and Clinton were arming Zelaya and were coordinating with Zelaya to run arms through Honduras. Presumably the deal was that some of the arms would stay with Zelaya and most would move into Mexico from the South. Then, Obama and Clinton could "find" U.S. guns in Southern Mexico and Central America, and thus use these optics to bolster their false contention that "90%" of Mexican guns were sourced directly from the U.S. "See? U.S. guns are all the way down in Chiapas State and Guatemala. U.S. guns are everywhere! The Second Amendment simply is not feasible any longer!"
Baby Doc's Back - will Obama Back Aristide?
US revokes visas to pressure Haiti on election
I have read this article and others and I am still not able to understand what Gunrunner or Fast and Furious was intended to accomplish. Yes, it they got guns into the hands of the cartels......... then what?
If stimulus money was used, doesn’t that mean Joe Biden knew about it since he’s in charge of that money?
