Implying a government-run investigation will ever blame the government for wrongdoings. Normal people know the government can never be trusted.

And in your "sane" world, cops killing civilians is always justified, Wall Street is responsible for the 08 financial meltdown, and lack of gun control was responsible for every spree killing in the past 3 decades. Because government investigations said so.
Yep, let's all trust the government because the evidence and their exemplary track record.
Perhaps you could provide some links to the mentioned reports ?
That's called paranoid schizophrenia, and it is hardly normal.
cheap government money was the primary reason the financial firms allowed themselves to take unusually risky investments
Cops killing civilians, just go look at the Jose Guerena and John Williams cases, or this video: Utah SWAT team shoot and kill unarmed man during 2010 drug raid - YouTube, all of which was somehow ruled justified.
In regards to the M16A1 rifle and the government's role in possibly hundreds of soldier deaths in Vietnam, this book talks extensively about the government's continuous stonewalling and eventual blaming of Colt (in a report, of course), for its own malfeasance: http://www.amazon.com/Gun-C-J-Chivers/dp/0743271734/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1325715639&sr=8-1
If you want to talk specifically about Gunrunner, your first post says Holder testifying is "normal". Indeed it is, but you seem to expect him to actually speak honestly about the topic at hand. I'm saying he won't and he will continue to lie and stonewall because that is the nature of government. Feel free to post your reasons why you still trust a word that man says.
Actually, I think what he's saying, and I would agree, is that government accountability is not treated with the same discretion of accountability that the public citizen is. Take the current topic at hand, where government employees were responsible for a few thousand counts of illegal firearms acquisition and illegal trafficking. If I or anybody else here did that with one firearm we would be kissing our freedom goodbye once convicted. Granted, Holder and his minions are still presumed innocent until proven guilty, but how much do you want to bet that if he and/or anyone else is found guilty of those charges, will not be put in prison, but rather, will probably be asked to resign, or be reassigned to another government office? Take your time - the current administration will stonewall this as long as they can.
Do you blame God for Adam taking the Apple ? Or perhaps cheap government money forced Goldman to sell securities to its clients while also betting against them ?
So you bring up a few controversial cases to establish a pattern ? I thought there was a government investigation (I assumed feds) that analyzed majority of cases and came to such conclusion. Do you imply there is a conspiracy between municipal, state and federal governments ?
It is a human nature to lie to protect one's ***, so no, if he is responsible, he is not likely to tell the truth. However it is the purpose of investigation to establish the truth regardless of the obstacles created by the party being investigated.
The man is the Attorney General of the United States of America. The ultimate "law of the land" enforcer.It is a human nature to lie to protect one's ***, so no, if he is responsible, he is not likely to tell the truth.

Bush's operation didn't involve thousands of gun, and people were actually arrested for their crimes under "Wide receiver."But also I don't agree with you on current administration being somehow different from any other. I have mentioned before - previous administration also ran guns to Mexico, and it should be easier to prosecute them now since they're not in office. <snip>
