Burke does not appear to be a " stand up " guy as his lawyer claims. The stand up guys are Dodson, Gil, Casa, Forcelli, Alt, Canino, Wall, and 2 dead agents, Jaime Zapata and Brian Terry. Now contrast these men with Burke, Voth, Newell, McMahan, Weinstein, Rasnake, Melson, Hoover, Cole, Breuer, and Holder.

First to remind everyone that it was ATF agents on the ground that broke this story. Because they did they have been sentenced to a Purgatory of sorts transferred with no moving expenses. Their careers crushed and left out to dry. While at the same time the people who approved this nightmare have been promoted and transferred at tax payers expense. I am one of the millions of Americans that find it suspicious that Eric Holder told, told the Gun Control Lobby that they were "Working Under the Radar" To build support for more Gun Laws only to find out later that Candidate Obama's Statement "We can protect the Second Amendment without sell AK47's to Drug Dealers" Was clearly of no value to President Obama's Administration. His Department of Justice sold 1800 plus guns to Drug Cartels. Mr Holder says he didn't know, if that is true he is Incompetent and needs to be removed from office. If it is not true he is criminally liable and needs to be prosecuted First in Mexico then here in the US.

Tin foilhat wearer here...
Lets see, Guns are strictly controled in Mejico, A two year wiat to get your hands on a gun is common.
So, How does this gun walking scandal fit in the latest internet rumour?
Several years back The dept of the treasury commisioned an artist to design a new currency, so they let him buy a used Gov mint press.
He buys it, moves it, rebuilts it. How much would it cost us to do this same thing? The currecy he designs is called the Amero. A new currency for the supposed new commercial alliance between Canada, America and Mejico.
However Mejicanos are fierce nationalists, they want nothing to do with the Amero.
Hence the Gun walking scandal to start the total destabilization of Mexico.
Like I said I wear a tinfoil. But the above fits doesn't it?

Everyone should realize most of our problems start with govt, fast and furious is just another problem created by the endless govt of control. Our Constitution was designed from the start to protect the people from the government, not the other way around the govt would like us all to believe. Corrupt crooked and bought off is our federal govt these days. Elections are nothing more then a contest to see who gets to shaft the taxpayer for their cause whatever it may be.

coucou,
it is more and more clear that the Justice Department is aware, even they try to ward off suspicion, however they continue to deny, why?
scandal "gunwalking" looks like a case of smuggling , in other words "money"

"au revoir"

The ATF. These are the same guys who have come down hard on regular people who just want to get an FFL at home. They have taken away the freedom of someone having a shop away in their garage and are forcing everyone to have a brick and mortar store because it doesn't meet their long list of BS designed to screw people out of their freedom. All created because the regular guy can't be trusted with firearms. What a load of SH@T. These are the guys that can't be trusted with firearms! They should be under a microscope, not hardworking everyday people.

Its pretty obvious how naive, especially when it comes to committee investigations, a lot of you are. The Obama admin has to get it clear, this isn't government Chicago style. This committee is focused on one thing, an injustice was committed. The truth; who new what, when, who's ultimately responsible. This shouldn't have happened, what has to happen to keep this and similar cover up situations from reoccurring

This really is one of the most disgusting things this country has ever allowed to happen, and for it to have come out of the DOJ, is just incomprehensible.

We have idiots running the DOJ.

Nothing like the CIA loading tons of dope on Air Force cargo planes destined for the streets of America, during Vietnam. That's how they get their funding without anyone knowing about it. No Email to trace back then, and the vets that know about it are fading fast. If we ever get to the bottom of Fast and Furious I'll be very surprised.
