One of the guns used in the November 13, 2015 Paris terrorist attacks came from Phoenix, Arizona where the Obama administration allowed criminals to buy thousands of weapons illegally in a deadly and futile “gun-walking” operation known as “Fast and Furious.”
A Report of Investigation (ROI) filed by a case agent in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives (ATF) tracked the gun used in the Paris attacks to a Phoenix gun owner who sold it illegally, “off book,” Judicial Watch’s law enforcement sources confirm. Federal agents tracing the firearm also found the Phoenix gun owner to be in possession of an unregistered fully automatic weapon, according to law enforcement officials with firsthand knowledge of the investigation.
The investigative follow up of the Paris weapon consisted of tracking a paper trail using a 4473 form, which documents a gun’s ownership history by, among other things, using serial numbers. The Phoenix gun owner that the weapon was traced back to was found to have at least two federal firearms violations—for selling one weapon illegally and possessing an unregistered automatic—but no enforcement or prosecutorial action was taken against the individual. Instead, ATF leaders went out of their way to keep the information under the radar and ensure that the gun owner’s identity was “kept quiet,” according to law enforcement sources involved with the case. “Agents were told, in the process of taking the fully auto, not to anger the seller to prevent him from going public,” a veteran law enforcement official told Judicial Watch.

Great post and quite fitting!!
I can see the movie now: Judgment at Nairobi. Staring Denzel Washington on Obama; Al Sharpton as Holder; and Ted Cruz as the prosecuting attorney. Also staring Jack Nicholson as the lead Judge so he can recreate his famous truth soliloquy.
Bump!
Someone had to arm the Sunni jihadis to overthrow Assad. Money to buy the weapons from the Gulf States?
[excerpt] The SVP backs its claim by citing a famous remark by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who once implied that the construction of mosques and minarets is part of a strategy for the Islamization of Europe. The pro-Islamist Erdogan said: “The minarets are our bayonets, the domes our helmets, the mosques our barracks and the faithful our army.”

J&G or Lone Wolf I believe.
The DOJ was going to prosecute this evil gun store for illegally selling this evil "assault weapon" to a cartel member until the store let Holder know that they had recorded all of their conversations with the batfe.
My money is on that this was a F&F weapon.
Bttt.

Thank you.
0bama, his administration, indeed the whole democrat party are spattered with the blood of the innocent. They reek of death. They are surrounded by the detritus of their murderous ideology: blood and mud, rotting corpses and bleached bones. Look at their campaign rhetoric. What is best in life, to them? It is to slaughter the unborn and to oppress those who survive the slaughter.
The filth will never wash off.
They know it. Some even revel in it.
Yeah, ‘cause he knows too much about the illegal shiite we’ve been doing.
Doesn't say this fellow is an FFL (or I missed it) so a personal sale on his part is not illegal.

” a Phoenix gun owner who sold it illegally, “off book,”
That’s my question as well. How was a private sale “illegal” because it was “off book”?
And it would be good to know how this guy got out of being charged with owning a select-fire firearm without jumping through all the feds’ hoops.
Everything about this stinks.
Fo sho.
Apparently by having a bad temper.
and this is just the tip of the iceberg
From the link:
It’s not clear if the agency, which is responsible for cracking down on the illegal use and trafficking of firearms, did this because the individual was involved in the Fast and Furious gun-running scheme. An ATF spokesman, Corey Ray, at the agency’s Washington D.C. headquarters told Judicial Watch that “no firearms used in the Paris attacks have been traced” by the agency. When asked about the ROI report linking the weapon used in Paris to Phoenix, Ray said “I’m not familiar with the report you’re referencing.” Judicial Watch also tried contacting the Phoenix ATF office, but multiple calls were not returned.
