On Tuesday, Aug. 30, Kenneth Melson, then-acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), was reassigned because of his involvement in the gunrunning operation known as Fast and Furious. At the same time, it was announced that Dennis Burke, the U.S. attorney in Phoenix, was resigning his post due to his involvement in Fast and Furious, and that federal prosecutor Emory Hurley would be moved from “the criminal division in the U.S. attorney’s office in Phoenix” to the civil division.
In other words, after 2,500 guns were bought with illegal intent, transferred to various criminals of one type or another, and used to kill well over 1,100 people to date, the Department of Justice announces that they’re going to deal firmly with three people who were involved in the operation by reassigning them and/or accepting their resignations.
Wow. There are huge problems here.
For starters, it looks like these three are taking the fall for bigger fish higher up the administration food chain.
We know that ATF supervisors William McMahon and William Newell knew about Fast and Furious and were directly involved in it. And we also know beyond a shadow of a doubt that Attorney General Eric Holder knew about Operation Gunrunner, which ultimately morphed into Fast and Furious. He bragged about his involvement in Gunrunner during a speech in Mexico on April 2, 2009.

Help make this an issue. Please submit one or both of the following questions at; http://www.politico.com/2012-election/reagan-repu…
“Immigration will add 130 million people by 2050. Will this affect our green space and food production?”
“Would you enforce current law on sanctuary cities and instate tuition for illegal immigrants?”
The most interesting part of this is the fall guys punishment is to be reassigned so they don't lose anything. If they really acted without Holder and obamas knowledge, they would have been kicked to the street not rewarded to another post. This administration really think citizens are too stupid to see this game, but as Sherlock would say, " elementary, my dear Watson".
Even the guys that actually took the guns across the border, they ALL got a promotion and more money…some "Justice"!! kind of like the Erick Holder type!! He and Obozo, our Liar in Chief had a big hand in it!! Obozo said he was working "under the radar" on Gun control!! They cannot enslave us as long as we are armed….they MUST dis arm us!!
So, when does prosicution begin? When do the arrests Start? Where is the grand Jury? when does the Provose Marshall round up these criminals? When does Holder get put on leave until the investigation is over? When will legal action be taken for non compliance with subpoenas?
Ever wonder where all that stimulus money is going? How much does it cost to pay people off so that they will take the fall for something like 'Fast & Furious'? And how much went to the state of Hawaii to stonewall and refuse to produce Obama's birth certificate? Or the many judges who keep throwing out all cases dealing with Obama's birth certificate, SS#s and his aliases?
Hello,
How about something happening to the real criminal in this circus—the leader of the D.O.J., HOLDER, and his BOSS Barackey Obammy. We all know the buck does not stop with this so-called President. It stops wherever he can literally get it stirred to, as long as he does not take the fall for his own actions, and lies.
