Operation Gunrunner supervisors promoted

[dmancornell]

What was their real goal in this operation anyhow?

Isn't it obvious? The ATF's goal is the alienation of the gun community by blaming drug war violence on gun stores, thereby allowing the government to seize yet more power despite a decline in public support for gun control.

If this was the previous presidents administration this would be so over played on the news we would be so tired of hearing about it ,But you very very seldom here anything about It I wounder why.

 

[Cougfan2]

The thing that just disgusts me about this is that if we were private citizens involved in this operation we would be in jail right now. These Govt stooges just get promoted or moved to another cushy position and keep their lifetime pensions. :angry:

It's past time to bring this federal beast thing down. Do we have the cajones?

An interview with "Fast and Furious' whistleblower, done by the great Democracy Now's Amy Goodman, best journalist in America:

That's absolutely hilarious Mike!

ATF Whistleblower: U.S. Gun Sting "Fast & Furious" Has Left Trail of "Crime Scenes and Dead Bodies"

So your great "investigative" journalist waited until Aug 31 to "expose" this? When the "conservative" and "fair and balanced" news organizations were all over it months ago?

And even when she decides to take a step in the right direction on the story, she makes a false/misleading statement in the opening, claiming agents "lost track" of the guns. Later Cefalu does get to the point of the agents being ordered to let the guns go without tracking, but it's mired in the article.

That article is a day late and a dollar short.
But if she's "the best" you've got, I can see why you might be dismayed.

Bellevue’s Gottlieb calls for Holder’s resignation

A Texas senator is calling for personnel dismissals from Attorney General Eric Holder in relation to Operation Fast and Furious, and members of Congress say the investigation should continue, but Alan Gottlieb, chairman of the Bellevue-based Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms has a more direct perspective.

Newly-revealed documents suggest there was a fast and furious cover-up by the Phoenix U.S. Attorney’s office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives when guns recovered from the crime scene of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry’s murder were quickly linked to the ATF’s gun trafficking sting operation.

"The Justice Department has been less than forthcoming since day one..."

Justice...yeah right.

 

[Father of four]

I wonder if the the fall guys they choose will end up in the White House?

White House received emails about Fast and Furious gun-trafficking operation

White House received emails about Fast and Furious gun operation - latimes.com

"The emails validate what has been said previously, which is no one at the White House knew about the investigative tactics being used in the operation, let alone any decision to let guns walk," said the official, who was not authorized to speak about it publicly."

Bull. They knew.

Firing the "trio" reminds me of the old quote by Thoreau

For every man hacking at the roots of evil there are one thousand hacking at the leaves and branches

Eliminate BATF (and Expletives) 110% :angry:

Bull. They knew.

Yes, it is, and yes, they did.
Now all I need to do is prove it.

 

[Gunner3456]

Yes, it is, and yes, they did.

Go get them, big guy. Bury them.

Go get them, big guy. Bury them.

Well, if you insist!

[Jamie6.5]

Can anyone defend this administration's, (and their various divisions of the justice department) actions, with regard to operation fast and furious, gunrunner/gunwalking etc?
Is there a legal and/or moral justification for what the BATFE, CIA, DEA, FBI, DHS did allowing these guns out of the country and into the hands of drug smugglers and thugs?
We know the actions of the supervisors involved were not "honest mistakes," their actions are documented as part of a purposeful plan.
Is anyone privy to that plan?
Does that plan have an ethical, constitutionally legal outline?
Is/was the intended outcome of the plan compatible with state department policies towards the Mexican government and citizens?
Was the intended outcome compatible with the constitutional values of Americans? Especially the Americans that reside in our southern border region?
