Tell me again how federal employees are not profiting from the drug trade in many more ways than one.

Yup. An they ID’ed an American guy who was helping the cartels illegally convert empty DEWAT grenade hulls to the active BOOM type. And they arrested him trying to take a huge load over the border, and then they simply permitted him to proceed.

In fact grenades have been a cartel favorite for about 3 years now, and it’s well-known down there, apparently.

SO:

1. there were thousands of guns
2. the FBI background check system was subverted
3. they made no attempt to track guns, indeed the budget did not permit for it
4. US officers were directly involved, cash was paid for the guns, no export licenses were sought
5. 200 Mexicans were killed with these guns, to include a helicopter taken down with a .50
6. multiple people at the WH did know, it turns out
7. the investigation might now include grenades also

WORST SCANDAL IN US HISTORY

Modern Fragmentation Grenades in our arsenal have a smooth shell of metal and coiled brittle wire inside and and explosive charge. The charge fractures the brittle metal and sends out fragments.

Can any army types out there tell us what happens to the shell on the outside and its markings? It will certainly be mangled but will it be relatively intact? In the oil field I have seen down hole explosives used and parts of the device would come back and be recognizable.

Also it was said that three grenades were used in the attack on the Casino in Monterrey, Mexico. Most of the deaths (60+) were a result of fire and smoke inhalation. I wonder what type of grenades our “good friends” at BATF sold the criminals? Perhaps one or more could have been incendiary? Could a legal type out there define at what point is the BATF legally an accessory to murder?

We are heading into government employee terrorist territory now. This is too much. And not a peep out of Republicans beyond Grassley and Issa. This is an outrage. Such deep betrayal!
