ATF speaks out on "Fast and Furious"


Posted: Jun 27, 2012

An investigation by Fortune magazine reveals that the ATF never intentionally allowed the “Fast and Furious” guns to fall in the hands of a Mexican cartel, and it questions the credibility of the original whistleblower. “Nobody disputes that suspected straw purchasers under surveillance by the ATF repeatedly bought guns that eventually fell into criminal hands. Issa and others charge that the ATF intentionally allowed guns to walk as an operational tactic. But five law-enforcement agents directly involved in Fast and Furious tell Fortune that the ATF had no such tactic. They insist they never purposefully allowed guns to be illegally trafficked. Just the opposite: They say they seized weapons whenever they could but were hamstrung by prosecutors and weak laws, which stymied them at every turn. Indeed, a six-month Fortune investigation reveals that the public case alleging that Voth and his colleagues walked guns is replete with distortions, errors, partial truths, and even some outright lies.”

Come on, get out of fairy tale land. If that's the case, why didn't Holder hand over the documents that Congress wants to review? Why did Obama try executive privilege if nothing is suspect? This administration's "transparency" is a crock of you know what - the only thing transparent is that Obama and his cronies are destroying our country bit by bit. Does Fortune magazine have all the gazillion documents to make their claim? I don't think so. Nobody has all the pieces to this puzzle except those involved in it - and that includes Holder and Obama.

Maybe there is an ongoing operation where security - is important? nm

Fast And Furious Report:Sep 19, 2012
How can a report be neutral if the IG works for the DOJ? They state the reason, but we will just have to wait until others read the 500-page report and report the details. I downloaded the report but won't have time to dig into it today. There is no evidence that Attorney General Eric Holder and high-ranking officials at the Justice Department knew that guns were allowed to “walk” during an ATF operation known as Fast and Furious, according to a report released on Wednesda ...

Eric Holder/fast And FuriousOct 04, 2011
Documents obtained by CBS News prove that Holder had been receiving regular briefings on the botched sting operation as early as July, 2010. This revelation runs directly counter to testimony that Holder gave before a Congressional committee in which he claimed that he had no knowledge of the scandal before the press broke it.  Seems to me like Eric Holder may have bitten off more than he can chew on this one.  Curious to see how this plays out. ...

Judge Seeks Middle Ground In Fast And Furious LawsuitJul 08, 2014
5/5/14: A federal judge said Thursday she’s inclined to split the difference between Congress and the White House in a lawsuit stemming from President Barack Obama’s decision to shield some Justice Department records from a House probe into the flawed gunrunning investigation known as Operation Fast and Furious. Last year, the Obama administration asked Jackson to throw out the lawsuit, arguing that the dispute was not an appropriate one to be resolved by the courts. She ruled to t ...

Justice Dept. Turns Over More Than 64,000 Pages Related To Fast And FuriousNov 05, 2014
This caught my eye last night, but there was too much good stuff going on to post this. To me, the most telling sentence is: "In total, 64,280 pages arrived on Capitol Hill — all material that had been withheld from Congress by President Obama, who used executive privilege to keep the information from lawmakers." Now that the obstructionist Democrats are no longer in power in the Senate, maybe we can get some closure to all these scandals and hold people accountable for this, for Be ...
