Thanks to Cheryl Attkisson for covering this. She'll probably suffer more for leaving the rez than the these crooks in the Obama Admin.

I called my congressperson and asked what her opinion was on F&F. The receptionist had no clue what I was talking about. Since my Congressperson is Loretta Sanchez, nee Bixley, I don't expect any support on this matter.

Usually gun runners wind up dead or in prison - so why are these bureaucrats breathing free air? Mr Obama, fire Mr Holder today.

This is the administration's attempt to stop the hemorrhage at the lowest level. They hope that they can stop it from spreading any higher. Any fool should know that these type of operations are initiated at the highest levels. This one was supposed to put gun ownership in a bad light thereby giving this administration the ammunition necessary for more prohibitive legislation on gun ownership. It was planned and executed with that purpose in mind. They just didn't bank on honest committed ATF Agents blowing the lid off the scam.

The powers that be - Holder and Obama - can't fire them - they have to protect them so they won't tie them(Holder & Obama) to the program. We all know that Holder had to know about this program if not sponsor it and he does nothing without Obama's approval.

So, a bunch of "lateral transfers", but not a single head rolling. How is it that any of these morons are allowed to continue to parasitize the taxpayers after this?

Talk about job security, you screw up in a government job you get transfered to new depatment, you screw up in non goverment job you get FIRED! I do not know what IDIOT thought up this scheme but selling guns to your enemey and lose track of them because you sold too many. Obiously the job was more then one district attorney could handle and violence in MEXICO still goes on. Leagalize drugs and the problem goes away.

We have the FBI the DEA and the ATF involved in this disaster. Now we play shuffle the PLayers? Who oversees all of these agencies and why does he still have a Job? Time for Mr. Holder to Resign and be Indicted

"This is what is so funny and hypocritical of the left. The run a guy on Hope and Change, and then when it is more of the same $hit, they simply say well what about the last guy."

As soon as you posted this factual comment, look what followed:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is what is so funny and hypocritical of the left. The run a guy on Hope and Change, and then when it is more of the same $hit, they simply say well what about the last guy.

How sad, that is their only defense.

Ousted director, Kenneth Melson, has openly admitted (confessed) that the Department of Justice is engaged in juggling the information to protect democrat political appointees.

Now we do not have to wonder why Melson was not completely thrown into lion's den; he (now) knows too much about the facts, the ensuing cover-ups, and how high the the guilt goes.
