Fast and Furious and our Department of Obstructing Justice.
Mr. Honesty himself
Fast and Furious weapons were found at yet another violent crime scene…this time in the US.
(CBS) Arizona state police revealed yesterday that two guns from Fast and Furious were found in an arrest involving two Mexican men who assaulted detectives outside Phoenix in 2010. Nobody was seriously hurt.
Fast and furious is the operation in which ATF allowed thousands of weapons to “walk” into the hands of suspected traffickers for Mexican drug cartels.
It’s unclear why the year-old case and its link to Fast and Furious were revealed now, with the apparent blessing of ATF headquarters.
News of this case set off a wave of confusion among Congressional investigators who have tried unsuccessfully to identify additional violent crimes in the U.S. linked to which Fast and Furious. They say the Justice Department still hasn’t told them about the 2010 Phoenix case, despite their ongoing written requests for such information
These guns are going to continue to pop up all over Mexico and the Southwest US because there are still at least a thousand or so assault weapons unaccounted for and NO ONE in the DOJ is talking. Suddenly the ATF is admitting that this last episode in Arizona did involve F&F weapons. Why would they suddenly be open about that piece of information? Perhaps Rep. Issa and Sen. Grassley are getting perilously close to opening Pandora’s box and the ATF wants to be on the right side of the fence when the whole story breaks? Maybe an official in the ATF will be offered immunity if they fork over info implicating high ranking officials within the Justice Department? Would the ATF do that if they are a branch of the DOJ?
Can someone answer these questions for me……
Isn’t it obstruction of justice to withhold information about a crime?
Wouldn’t you or I go to jail if we withheld information from investigators?
Why isn’t Eric Holder in jail?
In the words of Sir Walter Scott….
Oh what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practise to deceive!

Not just Mexico and the Southwest US… How about Indiana?? For gangbangers instead of Mexican drug cartels? http://www.maggiesnotebook.com/2011/09/fast-and-f…
“U.S. law enforcement operation intended to crack down on major weapons traffickers”
No one has yet to explain the above sentence. How was this supposed to crack down on major weapons traffickers? There was no tracking system. This sentence makes no sense at all if you have been keeping up with this story, and it came from Fox News, no less. The brainwashing continues.

Ya know we as a nation have put up with allot of bad politicos. Personally I think it's past time to end their rein as they surface. No such will not be nice, but will be final, and will send a very strong message to the rest that they fuckin work FOR US, and not the other way around.
They are getting away with cobvering up "Obama"'s ineligibility and criminal usurpation.
Why couldn't they get away with obstruction of justice in that operation?
