Not sure what previous gun walking operations has to do with Obozo's Fast & Furious....oh yeah deflection. Should have expected as much. How many US FBI agents were killed by guns allowed to walk under Bush's Operation Wide Receiver? How many other US attorney generals were found in contempt of congress for withholding gun walking documents under subpoena?
You don't seem to have the basics down here. Well except Obama bad. No FBI agents were killed, it was Border Patrol.
Fast and Furious was one of the operations under Project Gunrunner, part of the Department of Justice's broader National Southwest Border Counternarcotics Strategy.
Operation Fast and Furious was not the ATF's first "gun walking" investigation, which allowed illegally purchased firearms to "walk" out of gun shops. It was preceded by Operation Wide Receiver, which began in 2006.
During the Fast and Furious investigation, nearly 2,000 firearms were illegally purchased for $1.5 million, according to a DOJ inspector General report. Hundreds of guns were later recovered in the United States and Mexico.
In 2010, two of the weapons linked to Fast and Furious turned up near the scene of the ******* of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry in the Arizona desert. The scene is where ATF and Border Patrol had a shootout with four individuals after a gun shop owner tipped off the ATF to a suspicious assault rifle purchases.
Any cop will tell you, there is a danger to undercover work. However, it doesn't make the loss of life of law enforcement any less tragic. Unless you politicize it.
How is this the President of the United States fault??? Was he in the desert? You're right, no other agents were killed under the other gunrunner operations. Maybe we should have built a wall instead. That would have stopped the illegal guns, ******* and murderers from coming here.
Bullshit. Holder wasn't held in contempt until a year and a half after fast & furious was ended. Obozo even claimed executive privilege over the documents trying to hide them from congress. Funny how withholding documents requires impeachment for Trump, but not for Obozo.
What do you consider after F&F ended? When the agent was murdered? Or when the gunrunners were arrested?
June 20, 2012 - Republicans on the House Oversight Committee recommend that Holder be cited for contempt of Congress for failing to turn over documents relating to Fast and Furious. They make the recommendation after President Barack Obama asserts executive privilege over some documents sought by the committee.
June 28, 2012 - The House of Representatives votes 255-67 to hold Holder in criminal contempt of Congress. This is the first time in American history that the head of the Justice Department has been held in contempt by Congress.
Holder maintained that he was unaware of the program. He tried to get Congress to wait for the investigation to conclude, but with Obama being scandal, an election coming up, they needed something. As the summer went out, Holder was proven correct:
July 31, 2012 - The first of a three-part joint Congressional report is released. The report prompts the resignation of William Hoover, the deputy director of the ATF.
September 19, 2012 - The DOJ Inspector General releases a report on the operation, concluding that Holder was not informed of Fast and Furious until 2011. The inspector general finds 14 employees of the ATF and the DOJ responsible for management failures. After the report is released, Melson retires and a deputy assistant attorney general resigns.
60,000 pages were released. Obama's executive Privilege documents stood. The House of Representatives and DOJ settled the case last year. When DOJ was protecting tRump's right to Executive Privilege. Funny.
If you'd pop over here into reality land, you'd know the documents were NOT even fully turned over until two years AFTER Obozo left office. Hell the court case over the documents just ended last year.
Like Benghazi, the question is, what are you looking for? What conspiracy can be tied to an agency operation with ******* lords and gunrunners - where arrests were made- nobody got away with anything, to the President of the United States? There are hundreds of military and federal operations going on every single day. I know tRump says only he can fix things, but normal leaders appoint experts and professionals.
That would be the pallets of cash Obozo chose to fly to Iran....of course it was just a complete coincidence the pallets arrived as Iran was freeing our hostages....yeah....that's it.
No it wasn't I'm afraid this may be over your head. However, I will try. That money, was already slated to be returned to Iran. I'm sure you're familiar with the Hague Tribunals. That was not taxpayers dollars. After agreeing to the nuclear deal, we said we would release the funds, Obama decided to wait until the hostages were in a plane and in the air, just to be sure nothing funny happened. It's called leverage and Obama played it perfect. We got our people back, Iran allowed inspectors in their country to check on their nuclear weapon capability, and we had a dialogue.
Oh yeah that's just a cigarette...right! I wouldn't do this for just anyone, but given what I've seen in your posts here I'll make you a deal....I have some wonderful oceanfront property here in Kansas I'll be happy to sell you. You''ll love the view of the unicorn dolphins as they frolic in the waves!
The cigarette has a filter. Still, he looks cooler than you. I'm sure you did buy "oceanfront" property in that shitty state. You keep it. I'm not as dumb as you. That's not saying much though.
