Two senior federal law enforcement sources say acting ATF director Kenneth Melson is expected to resign under pressure, perhaps in the next day or two, amid the ongoing controversy over the "Fast and Furious" operation in which straw buyers were allowed to illegally purchase large numbers of weapons, some of which ended up in the hands of cartels in Mexico.CNN Headline News email
From what I have put together, also called "Project Gun Runner" the U. S. government let a bunch of drug traffickers buy small arms (assault rifles) from the U. S. and told the sellers to shut up about it. These guys were never supposed to get in to the hands of people who would use them. Apparently, the U. S. authorities expected the full shipments to stay together and not get broken up the moment the opportunity presented itself. Huge mistake.
This is a criminal level cluster fuck. It has been called "felony stupid". I hear that a border agent has been killed with one of these guns. Why would the powers that be let U. S. guns travel across the border? Because they want guns baned in the U. S.. Think I'm kidding? Goggle the story above, go past the first couple links. Did they think it was a good idea to let the guns be used in killings so they could then make a case more easily? Isn't that worse? Sounds like someone in charge at the moment.
Can you imagine if the media had a Republican president to yell at about this? There would be a mob with pitchforks and torches circling the White House.
Speaking of White Hose, how high did this conspiracy go? Is Kenneth falling on his sword for the president? No one admits how high. People, when asked "Why told you to do this?", keep responding with "I don't know."
