This story is getting confused and it’s decreasing our credibility.

Project Gunrunner is a legit operation funded by the Stimulus.

Fast and Furious is a rogue operation during which “gunwalking” took place.

Holder, and the stimulus funds, are referencing a legit operation.

When it was legitimate it was called gunrunner. When it was corrupt it was called fast and furious. (Gunwalker) Holder has spoken on fast and furious as this article mentions,then he appeared under oath and said he was not aware of operation fast and furious until 2 weeks before the hearing. See my last two posts.

Project Gunrunner-Bush

Fast and Furious-holder/obama

Gunwalker-nickname given to F&F by David Codrea and Mike Vanderboegh who broke the story.

F&F was done out of the Phoenix ATF office under the umbrella of Gunrunner. They’re not synonymous but they are related. The funding came from the same place.

ATF’s Fast and Furious Seems Colored With Shades of Iran/Contra Scandal

The operation that has put Melson in the hot seat before Congress is known as Fast and Furious, which was launched in October 2009 as an offshoot of Project Gunrunner — ATF’s larger effort to stem the flow of illegal weapons into Mexico

Fast and Furious was the original operation that was legit and ran its course under Bush. It was reconstituted under Obama and Gunwalker was the cock-up operation that was designed by Holder and Obama to justify more gun restrictions.
