"Fast And Furious/Gunwalker" mega-thread... was: ATF director expected to resign...

They trained Los Zetas and gave them guns, what fools. ATF is a horrible agency, especially since Waco. This just confirms it.

Add them to the list of government agencies that should go:

DHS
ATF
DEA
 
Get this back on track.

More news on this today, thankfully Fox News is not ignoring this story.
Authorities confirm a weapon from the failed ATF program 'Operation Fast and Furious' was found at a violent crime scene in Maricopa, Ariz. in 2010. This is the latest in a series of cases where Fast and Furious guns have been linked to violent crimes across the U.S. and Mexico.

The two guns found at the scene were an AK-47 and a Beretta pistol, according to the Arizona Department of Public Safety. The AK-47 is linked to Fast and Furious, according to ATF. The weapons were found inside a stolen truck in March 2010 after the driver slammed into two DPS vehicles while trying to evade members of the Arizona Vehicle Theft Task Force, ABC 15 reports.

Also, from the ABC affiliate in AZ

The ABC15 Investigators have learned a weapon connected to the controversial Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives Fast and Furious case was found at the scene of a 2010 violent crime in Maricopa, AZ.

Bart Graves, a spokesperson for the Arizona Department of Public Safety, confirms officers found two weapons, an AK-47 and a Beretta pistol, inside a stolen truck in March 2010 after a driver trying to evade members of the Arizona Vehicle Theft Task Force slammed the stolen vehicle into two DPS vehicles.

From the above article:

"the man who headed ATF in the midst of it, Ken Melson, was reassigned, and U.S. attorney Dennis Burke, who oversaw the prosecution of cases coming out of the operation, abruptly resigned.

At least three men have been charged in connection with the murder of agent Terry, though only one is in U.S. custody. The Justice Department recently informed lawmakers that cases coming out of Operation Fast and Furious will now be led by prosecutors from outside Arizona."

Resigned? RESIGNED? Why are they not behind bars?

Looks like there is yet another step closer the the WH,Holder and President "Zero"

A third gun,that the FBI made disappear, was at the Agent Terry crime scene.That gun was purchased with "seed money' (70 k of taxpayer funds) provided by the FBI to an informant to arm the cartel !

PJM is great, read it every day first thing after Drudge and before WSJ !
Another good read on the F&F has been Sipsey Street Irregulars
http://sipseystreetirregulars.blogspot.com/2011/09/our-department-of-obstructing-justice.html

To cekim's point,which is a good one,"Watergate II" and treason.
"Definition of treason;
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States."
 
Just to keep this up to date,both PJM and America watchtower have some new info.
Looks like they,Issa and Grassely are calling for a Special Prosecutor they just want to be sure they have all the evidence. As we all knew this had nothing to do with tracing guns back to cartel members and all to do with cooking the books on gun control-"under the radar" .Looks like Issa has the same feeling.

Nothing in his response could be construed to mean that Rep. Issa thought Operation Fast and Furious was a legitimate law enforcement operation. And if it does not appear to have been implemented as a legitimate law enforcement operation, then we are left with the possible alternative that the goal of the operation was both illegitimate and unlawful.

Issa put it rather bluntly: “The administration wanted to show that guns found in Mexico came from the United States.”

This is indeed Obama's Reichstag fire

Senator Grassley spoke to the special prosecutor issue yesterday with NRA Radio. Next hearing won't be until October

I would like to see an actual honest number, based on statistical samples, though we never ever will, of what percentage of guns in Mexico during the year were actually supplied by this operation. It would be humorous if the ATF had supplied 50% of the guns to Mexico, in order to prove their point that all Americans must be disarmed.
 
More fun with "Fast and Furious".....

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/09/21/audio-tapes-reveal-more-details-in-fast-and-furious-gunrunner-scandal/
The inspector general of the Department of Justice undermined and obstructed a congressional investigation by releasing secret tape recordings that corroborate allegations of misconduct in "Operation Fast and Furious," according to a letter written by Rep. Darrell Issa and Sen. Charles Grassley.The two lawmakers leading the probe into the Obama administration scandal claim Justice Inspector General Cynthia Schnedar compromised their investigators' ability to get to the truth and potentially prosecute those responsible for selling thousands of weapons to the Mexican drug cartels.
Schnedar failed to even listen to the recordings before handing them over to the actual targets of the investigation, the letter alleges.

Once again this "most open" administration is blocking/covering all attempts to investigate Fast and Furious (and Solyndra and Light Squared) with a crooked IG. Chicago politics at the federal level !
 
Sh*t, meet fan.

Not only did U.S. officials approve, allow and assist in the sale of more than 2,000 guns to the Sinaloa cartel -- the federal government used taxpayer money to buy semi-automatic weapons, sold them to criminals and then watched as the guns disappeared.

This disclosure, revealed in documents obtained by Fox News, could undermine the Department of Justice's previous defense that Operation Fast and Furious was a "botched" operation where agents simply "lost track" of weapons as they were transferred from one illegal buyer to another. Instead, it heightens the culpability of the federal government as Mexico, according to sources, has opened two criminal investigations into the operation that flooded their country with illegal weapons.

OK, so FEMA is out of money for the tornado and hurricane victims, but we still have funding for this? FOR THIS?

WHY?
