The “other” Fast & Furious, headed to a theatre near you
Sharyl Attkisson ^ | October 23, 2015 | Sharyl Attkisson

Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) Special Agent John Dodson blew the whistle on the Department of Justice (DOJ) ill-fated “Fast and Furious” operation in an interview with me in 2011. Dodson explained that the U.S. government had been instructing federal agents like him to encourage gun dealers to sell thousands of assault rifles and other weapons to traffickers for Mexican drug cartels.

...

Beyond Fast and Furious, similar “gunwalking” cases by the government were reported in numerous cities: Phoenix, Tucson and Houston to name a few.

“Walked” guns were used by illegal Mexican bandits in an Arizona shootout that killed Border Patrol agent Brian Terry. Other walked guns were used by drug cartel members in Mexico who ambushed ICE agents, murdering one of them. Countless other Mexicans were killed with the U.S. government-walked guns. To this day, the federal government refuses to provide a full accounting of crime scenes in the U.S. and Mexico in which the Fast and Furious weapons have turned up.

...

Tens of thousands of pages are still being kept secret.

Sharyl Attkisson is one of the few TRUE journalists remaining in the media IMHO.

Where does F&F stand now? Last I heard we were waiting for a ruling on Commander Zero's executive privlege claim.

I expect Gowdey's Benghazi hearings to have the same conclusion as Issa's F&F investigation. Nothing resolved, no justice.
