A Reminder: Do Not Forget Operation Fast and Furious

Here's the last post for today. At Ammoland David Codrea has a piece on the Calculated Destruction of 'Gunwalker' Evidence Shows ATF Cover-up Ongoing. The Gunwalker evidence he is referring to was the result of a scheme by Eric Holder as the Obama administration Attorney General, and the Bureau of Alchol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to illegally sell guns to Mexican drug cartels with, one surmises, the hope that these would show up in crimes and be traced back to the United States to raise cries for more gun control. The operation was called Fast and Furious, and despite the death of border patrol agent Brian Terry, no one has been prosecuted for these crimes.

“Yesterday, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) notified us that it intends to destroy the firearms associated with the botched Operation Fast and Furious,” Rep. Jim Jordan, ranking member of the House Committee on the Judiciary, wrote to ATF Director Steven Dettelbach on Dec. 6. “I strongly urge you to reconsider this decision and request that you preserve this evidence.”

The reasons for Jordan’s letter should be self-evident, but he nonetheless spells them out—not so much for Dettelbach, who knows and is plotting this move because of them – but for the benefit of interested gun owners and for other Americans with open minds still interested in holding accountable those government actors responsible for overseeing a criminally negligent (at best) operation that has resulted in untold deaths to date.

That ongoing legal actions require evidence to be preserved and that ATF, the agency that stonewalled investigations and retaliated against whistleblowers now seeks to be the agent of its destruction, is a good circumstantial indicator that its priority remains one of covering up.

Please to read Codrea's article. We have not forgotten the crimes performed by our supposed law enforcement officers. Indeed, they have simply become ever more blatant and obvious in their criminal activity because they think they are immune. So far they are right.
