In that letter Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich said: "ATF makes every effort to interdict weapons that have been purchased illegally and prevent their transportation to Mexico."

Some ATF agents -- and perhaps other whistleblowers whose identities remain unknown to us at this time -- established to Congress that that statement was in direct conflict with the truth.

Yes, several MONTHS ago. Holder is whizzing in the wind trying to stall the inevitable.

After the press conference, Chait emailed Newell that in "light of our request for Demand Letter 3, this case could be a strong supporting factor if we can determine how many multiple sales of long guns occurred during the course of the case."

I see what Holder is up to.

He isn't investigating what the DOJ, FBI, ATF and DEA have done wrong. He has his men scouring gun sales records trying to find some guns recovered at scenes of drug cartel shootouts that were sold to people who were not under ATF, FBI and/or DEA surveillance.

Apparently he hasn't found any (or not enough) yet to make his counter-case that guns do flow from American gun shops other than the ones the ATF, FBI and DEA arranged to let "walk."

I expect we will hear an announcement about the finding of non-F&F guns soon.
