Operations Fast & Furious

(CBS News) The Inspector General (IG) draft report on Fast and Furious heaps blame on the Phoenix-based staff of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) according to those familiar with the document.

A year and a half in the making, the report examines Operation Fast and Furious, which began under the Obama administration, and the smaller Operation Wide Receiver which started under the Bush administration and was prosecuted under the Obama administration. In both cases, ATF agents allowed guns to "walk" or fall into the hands of Mexican drug cartels. The idea was to see where the guns ended up and catch a "big fish" of a cartel.

DOJ report released just now...breaking...

First impressions of the CNN correspondent:

It's big.

It's "scathing in some ways" toward BATF and DOJ.

14 referrals for discipline, no criminal charges. Both agencies.

Did not extend to Holder until February 2011.

Two high rankers at DOJ to be disciplined. Brew and Weinstein.

They failed to send info up the chain or they failed to ask more questions.

It was allowed to continue because people on the ground in AZ thought it would work well. Couple people were trying to make careers out of it.

Holder to hold news conference today.

OIG found "no evidence" that Holder knew about the operation before Feb 2011. Investigator finds it "troubling" that he wasn't told, especially because it affected Mexico.
 
How/why would a field agent/office think they could run an internatiinal operation without involving superiors. This report stinks like fish. Maybe because they are investigating themselves and trying to extinguish this issue before the debates begin.
 
'Fast and Furious' guns ended up in Colombia

U.S. weapons that were exported to Mexico as part of the controversial "Fast and Furious" program ended up in the hands of Colombia crime syndicate Oficina de Envigado, reported newspaper El Tiempo Monday.

According to the newspaper, investigations by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) have established that some of the weapons found during the arrest of Oficina boss "Sebastian" were part of the thousands of arms lost in the Fast and Furious program.

"Two rifles that were seized in February with 'Frank', the brother of Sebastian also are part of the tracking operations of the ATF, the same with 14 Five-seven guns we have found in several raids," an anonymous high-ranking source within Colombia's National Police was quoted as saying by El Tiempo.

The source added that ATF agents are in Medellin where the Oficina operates and inspect every seized firearm found in raids in Colombia's second largest city.

In the U.S., a House Judiciary Committee and the Department of Homeland Security have been investigating the Fast and Furious scandal which is held responsible for the export of at least 2,000 firearms.

Univision will bring a fresh set of eyes to the Fast and Furious gun walking operation put in place by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in 2009.

Perhaps the Spanish-language television network's move to air an exclusive, in-depth investigation of the scandal on Sunday night, September 30 at 7:00 p.m. ET/PT (6 p.m. Central) will counteract allegations from the White House that the congressional investigation into the operation was politically motivated.

The deadly consequences of Fast and Furious will be presented in a special edition of Univision Network's newsmagazine "Aquí y Ahora."

Univision's award-winning Investigative Unit, Univision Investiga, released a video clip to news media on Friday showing the massacred bodies of Mexicans killed with guns trafficked to drug cartels through the Fast and Furious program.

We investigated us and guess what! We're clean up here at the top...

Now down below, we rather suspect some Republican activities, something in the Bushes, those weren't our guys, it was ARIZONA (and everyone knows Arizona is code for RACISM).
 
*Yawn* Day 296 - still no outrage from the general public.

....and this nontroversy had such promise! :(
 
Sharyl Attkisson at CBS News reminds us that the Obama administration is still hiding Kevin O’Reilly, a key figure in Operation Fast and Furious:

O’Reilly, then a White House National Security staffer, had phone and email exchanges about Fast and Furious from July 2010 to Feb. 2011 with the lead ATF official on the case: ATF Special Agent in Charge Bill Newell. Just days after Newell testified to Congress on July 26, 2011 that he’d shared information with O’Reilly, whom he described as a long time friend, O’Reilly was transferred to Iraq and not available for questioning. Thereafter, he declined interviews with congressional investigators and the IG.

In a letter sent to O’Reilly’s attorney Thursday, Issa and Grassley state that O’Reilly’s “sudden transfer” to Iraq took him out of pocket in their investigation, and placed him in a position that had already been given to somebody else, raising “serious questions about O’Reilly’s assignment in Baghdad (and) the motivation for his transfer there.” …

“Given that O’Reilly was the link connecting the White House to the scandal, and that the President subsequently asserted executive privilege over the documents pertaining to Fast and Furious, it is imperative that the American people get to the bottom of O’Reilly’s involvement with Fast and Furious,” says the letter to O’Reilly’s attorney.

It goes on to say that if O’Reilly does not agree to an interview within 30 days, congressional Republicans will have no choice but to “use compulsory process” or subpoena power to require his testimony.

The Obama administration clearly hoped that the Department of Justice’s Inspector General report on Operation Fast and Furious would be the last word on the scandal.

What makes you imagine that's the case?
 
Seems the liberal white press in not nearly concerned with what Holder did to Mexico as is the Hispanic press...


Are Latinos second-class citizens to the Administration?


Were they not promised movement on amnesty?
