In what appears to be the latest of many crimes resulting from the Obama Administration’s disastrous Mexican gun-running operation, a federal agent has been indicted for trying to smuggle high-powered weapons and large amounts of ammo south of the border.
The U.S. Border Patrol agent undoubtedly got his idea from a failed government project, dubbed Fast and Furious, that put U.S.-sold weapons in the hands of Mexican drug traffickers. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives (ATF) ran the once-secret program that allowed guns from the U.S. to be smuggled into Mexico so they could eventually be traced to drug cartels. Instead, federal law enforcement officers lost track of hundreds of weapons which have been used in an unknown number of crimes.
The lost guns have been linked to violence on both sides of the border, including the murder of a U.S. Border Patrol agent (Brian Terry) in Peck Canyon Arizona. In that case, the guns—assault weapons known as AK-47s—were traced through their serial numbers to a Glendale, Arizona dealer that led to a Phoenix man the feds repeatedly allowed to smuggle firearms into Mexico.
Judicial Watch has sued the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the ATF for Fast and Furious records and has already obtained internal government documents exposing a high number of crimes connected to the experiment. For instance, a Fast and Furious firearm (7.62mm Romarm/Cugir) was involved in aggravated assault against a police officer in Arizona and in Mexico the weapons have been used in a number of violent crimes.
This week’s news of a Homeland Security agent getting busted only adds insult to injury. The Border Patrol officer (Ricardo Montalvo) from El Paso was arrested and charged for buying ammunition and firearms, such as AK-47 pistols, favored by Mexican drug cartels. The idea, according to a federal indictment cited in a news report, was to smuggle the goods to Mexico.

Put him on trial WITH Holder and give them BOTH the same Sentence!
Looks like its time to Hang Holder also, There is so much corruption in this administration and to date nothing has happened. This would have never happened before in any administration. I am getting so sick and tired of the situation now that unless something happens soon it is time for this country to stand up and say, IMPEACH HOLDER AND OBAMA, THEY ARE BOTH RACISTS WHO ARE BREAKING THE LAW.
I JUST LEARNED THAT A TREATY SIGNED WITH THE U.N. LIKE THE ONE THAT HILLARY CLINTON JUST SIGNED TO TAKE OUR GUNS ARE LEGAL
AND WILL TRUMP OUR CONSTITUTION. SO THEY WILL TAKE OUR GUNS LEGALLY AND I AM SURE THAT OUR SENATORS AND CONGRESSMEN HAVE
TO KNOW THIS.. BUT, WHY THEY ARENT TELLING ANYONE I DONT KNOW, ESPECIALLY THE REPUBLICANS. SO , THIS IS WHY THEY ARE BUYING
ALL THE HOLLOW POINT BULLETS AND ARE PREPARING FOR RIOTS.. THEY ARE GONNA TAKE OUR GUNS SO GET READY BECAUSE IT IS COMING.
EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW THAT PEOPLE WILL DIE OVER THIS… THEY DONT CARE.. ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS TAKING OUR RIGHTS AND OUR
CONSTITUTION. NEXT IS OUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH.. HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE PRESIDENT OF EGYPT, SAYING THAT HE WANTS OUR FREEDOM OF
SPEECH TAKEN AWAY SO WE CANNOT HURT THE FEELINGS OF MUSLIMS.. AND HOW THEY WOULD LIKE TO GO THROUGH THE U.N. TO DO THAT?
WELL, THAT IS THE PLAN… AND I GUESS NEXT IS FREEDOM OF RELIGION AND SO ON AND ON… PLEASE PASS THIS ON AND SHARE WITH
EVERYONE YOU KNOW… THEY KNOW THAT THE PUBLIC DOESNT KNOW HOW A U.N. TREATY TRUMPS OUR CONSTITUTION… WE NEED TO TELL
EVERYONE IN THE UNITED STATES .. SO WE CAN SPEAK OUT THAT WE KNOW ABOUT THIS AND NO MORE TREATIES WITH THE U.N. WILL BE SIGNED
WITH THE U.N. AND PUT A STOP TO THIS BEFORE THEY TAKE ALL OF OUR RIGHTS AWAY… THIS IS THE TRICK THEY HOPE TO PLAY ON US
AS LONG AS POSSIBLE… PLEASE SHARE.
THIS IS HOW OBAMA SENT OUR TROOPS TO A FOREIGN LAND WITHOUT THE APPROVAL OF CONGRESS… EVER WONDER WHY YOU HAVENT HEARD ANYMORE ON THIS…? OBAMA CAN DO WHATEVER HE WANTS WITH OUR MILITARY.. HE GETS PERMISSION FROM THE U.N. NOW
