A staffer on Obama’s National Security Council, was told about Operation Fast and Furious in September 2010 by former ATF agent William Newell in an email. Newell, the former ATF special agent in charge of the Phoenix field office, told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee investigating the scandal that he communicated with Kevin O’Reilly. Both Obama and Eric Holder have denied knowing about the operation that let gunnrunners take weapons to Mexican drug cartels in an operation “called Fast and Furious” resulting in the murder of a US border patrol agent and untold number of Mexicans.

Rep. Dan Burton (R-IN) questions ATF Special Agents about the deadly Operation Fast and Furious.

Commenting on the ATF gunrunner scandal, chairman of the House oversight and reform committee Darrell Issa said Attorney General Eric Holder either knew about operation fast and furious and lied to congress or he is letting his department do such things without any leadership and in either case implied Obama should fire Holder.

Chicago’s ordinance first mandates that would-be gun owners receive training at a firing range but then prohibits firing ranges from operating in the city.

Project Gun Runner (Fast and Furious) was launched under the orders of Obama with the knowledge of Attorney General Eric Holder.

Even though the administration is in trouble for getting a border patrol agent murdered with the DOJ Operation Fast and Furious fiasco, team Obama is moving ahead with executive order gun bans to shore up his left wing base in the approaching election.

And during that same year, Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder bragged about Project Gunrunner at the arms trafficking conference in Cuernavaca, Mexico – as documented on the Department of Justice website”

Obama’s clueless AG says he only heard about the gun scandal in the last few weeks. Is he incompetent and inept as West says?

The scope of Eric Holder’s disastrous ‘Fast and Furious” ATF operation just keeps expanding. Now a single traffic stop in Phoenix has revealed 43 automatic weapons with serial numbers traceable to the the ATF scandal – taken from 4 illegal aliens arrested in the stop. How many AK-47s has this Administration put in the hands of gangs throughout the U.S. How many children will die in drive-bys using weapons Holder GAVE to criminals? And with the ATF Director now saying the DoJ obstructing the investigation, the House GOP must not stop until all responsible are rotting in jail. And what did Obama know and when did he know it? – by StandWithAZ

“To prevent the next Tucson, we need a comprehensive background check system, which is what the president called for in April,” said the director of the mayors’ group, Mark Glaze. “That said, there are many steps the president can take on his own authority, without new laws, that could make a very real difference.”
