did he blow his nose on potus shirt sleeve?

[moovova]

I like him...specially considering he’ll go after either side.

[Starstruck]

If I buy a gun for someone I know to be a felon and he goes out and kills someone with it am I in anyway resposible?

[Hotlanta Mike]

How does one resolve this vis-a-vis “Guns don’t kill people. People kill people.”.............

[tennmountainman]

May I kindly remind folks. Bonehead took a hard stand on
the debt ceiling and continuing resolution...initially,

Then promptly folded like a cheap suit.

He will do what he does best, beside crying
And work some deal that will give cover to Holder.

[cotton1706]

Of course he’ll fold. He’s in cahoots with the whole crowd.

[Tau Food]

Impeach Holder’s boss.

Rover, rover, let Biden take over.

There is reason to believe that Agent Terry's BORTAC team knew nothing about the rip crew and the rip crew knew nothing in advance about Agent Terry's team.

FBI Criminal Informant Complicit in Brian Terry’s Death (PJM Exclusive)

Previously, Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry’s death in Peck Canyon, Arizona was described as a chance meeting that led to a firefight: an illegal alien “rip crew” working for the Sinaloa cartel was hoping to find other illegal aliens and to rob them at gunpoint. Instead, they stumbled across a Border Patrol unit and murdered Agent Terry.

Last week, the Washington Times offered a new version of the encounter: they reported that the rip crew was not hunting illegals, but Border Patrol teams — with the intention of engaging them in combat.

Sources now tell PJ Media that neither version of events is accurate: the rip crew was not waiting for a chance encounter with other illegals, nor did the members intend to engage American law enforcement agents.

The rip crew was in Peck Canyon that evening with the intention of stealing money and drugs from a specific shipment of which they had prior knowledge.

(snip)

The rip crew knew to be in Peck Canyon that December evening because a CI working for the FBI found out about a smuggling run — from the FBI.

(snip)

A source tells PJM that the FBI knew from wiretaps that the CI was using their information to set up an ambush. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) — through its own CIs and communications intercepts — was also aware of the planned assault. Neither the DEA nor FBI warned Border Patrol about the expected criminal activity.

(snip)

Multiple sources tell PJM that this third weapon “disappeared” because it was the weapon carried by the FBI CI who ran the rip crew. When it was recovered near the scene of the murder and subsequently traced by the ATF, it traced back to the FBI CI via the gun shop in Texas where it was purchased.

(snip)

Neither agency bothered to warn Border Patrol to keep their BORTAC teams out of Peck Canyon that evening. As a direct result of this FBI and DEA failure — combined with Homeland Security forcing BORTAC units to carry less-lethal beanbag rounds in some of their primary weapons — Brian Terry’s under-armed four-man unit walked into an ambush against a heavily armed rip crew, at least five of whom were carrying rifles.

Brian Terry’s murder was entirely preventable. The incompetence of the DEA and FBI let his Border Patrol unit walk into an ambush. After the ambush, it appears the FBI tampered with evidence to cover up that one of their informants was involved with the murder of a federal agent.

No doubt, had the guns not ‘walked’, the cartels would still be acquiring guns elsewhere, and poor Agent Terry might still be dead. Nevertheless, the FACT is that the murder weapon came from the US government, and that is a heinous thing to have happen, and it needs to be thoroughly investigated because it represents either immense incompetence, or disregard for the law, or both.

They might have got guns from elsewhere, but they might never have been in that location. It has been alleged (rather convincingly) that many guns were bought with FBI money given to a confidential informant, that the confidential informant was given information that led to the "rip crew" going to the canyon that night, and that there was a third gun at the scene, that was tied to the confidential informant, but it was removed from the scene by the FBI, who did not want their confidential informant implicated.

[Lurker]

The Court does not “work for “ the Attorney General.

[TigersEye]

No one can reasonably deny that the cartels can find numerous sources for guns. But they snapped up at least 2,500 "walked" guns from American gun shops at American prices. That clearly says that they will take whatever they can get and will pay whatever price is asked. Why not? They have loads of money.

It should also be kept in mind that there are several drug cartels in Mexico and they are in competition with each other to buy arms and equipment as much as they are to sell drugs. Some cartels have more ex-military in them than others so those outfits would have a leg up on arms stolen from armories. They no doubt compete fiercely for foreign sourced arms too. The key word being fiercely as in "your head's on a bridge and your body is five miles away in a ditch for stepping on our turf."

“Boehner took a hard line to avoid a Constitutional Crisis.”

Boneheadner took a hard line to save his own ass. He is slowly beginning to see the hand writing on the wall? Let us hope...and maybe for the short term this POS from Ohio will change.
