Keeps Getting Worse

Every new development in the “Fast and Furious” ATF/DoJ fuckup is even more damning than the last. Pajamas Media:

Just days after Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Acting Director Ken Melson was forced into a make-work job at the Justice Department and long-time Janet Napolitano confidant U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke abruptly resigned, the investigation into Operation Fast and Furious rapidly gained momentum with evidence of a coverup instigated within hours of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry’s death.

Also, the Justice Department begrudgingly revealed that Fast and Furious guns were recovered at the scene of more than twice as many violent crimes as they has originally told congressional investigators.

And in the latest bombshell, emails reveal that the White House had indeed been briefed directly about Operation Fast and Furious while the operation was still walking thousands of guns to the Sinaloa cartel.

The actual evidence, obtained by CBS News, is about as fucked up as one could possibly imagine, with emails directly noting the willingness to avoid charging an individual with a crime so that they wouldn’t have to divulge the fact that the guns used to kill a border patrol agent were a result of federal agents purposefully allowing guns to walk in to the hands of cartels. They CLEARLY tried to cover their tracks and avoid any “complications” that may occur as a result if the news got out.

If there is any justice in the world, charges will be filed, though I wouldn’t bet on it.
