Katie Pavlich’s new book Fast and Furious chronicles the gun scandal set up by the Obama administration as political cover for bypassing congress with executive orders to establish gun control. The disastrous scheme turned bloody when the guns allowed to be smuggled by the DOJ turned up at the murder scene of a U.S. border agent and in the deaths of hundreds of Mexican citizens.

The White House continues to block testimony of a key witness in the gun scandal known as Fast and Furious that contributed to the death of a US border agent and hundreds of Mexican citizens. The operation was conceived as apolitical stunt to actually increase the American guns used in Mexican drug cartel violence so that the Obama administration could have cover for using executive orders to impose gun restrictions without congress.

Obama’s White House continues to prevent a key witness from testifying about the ATF gun scandal. A former ATF agent with ties to the White House has been told not to testify before the House committee investigating the gun smuggling scandal in which the Justice Department allowed guns to be sold to straw buyers and then to Mexican drug cartels resulting in the death of a US border agent and hundreds of Mexican citizens.

So, who should we believe? Corrupt ATF managers who have denied gunwalking since day one of the Fast and Furious investigation, or brave whistleblowers who have put their personal lives and careers on the line to get the truth to the American people? – Townhall

Three U.S. senators — Johnny Isakson of Georgia, Jim DeMint of South Carolina and James Inhofe of Oklahoma — have also called for Holder to resign. So have two sitting governors, Rick Perry of Texas and Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, and all major Republican presidential candidates. – The Daily Caller

Rep. Darrell Issa discusses a second American murder victim from Operation Fast and Furious. “You don’t have the right to get two hundred Mexicans and at least two Americans murdered in the name of quote following the guns loosely to the scene of the crime. … Each time we get a little additional information we begin to realize this problem goes much higher with much greater approvals than the Attorney General would have us believe.”

Fourteen months since Border Patrol agent Brian Terry was killed by weapons from the ATF gun scandal. The Justice Department has provided only 8% of the documents requested by the Congressional Oversight committee investigating the scandal. Many of the documents they have provided are so redacted that they provide nothing.

Eric Holder is threatened with contempt of congress as he continues to withhold documents pertaining to the Mexican gun smuggling scandal known as Fast and Furious which has led to the death of one American and many Mexicans.

It made no sense from a legal, law-enforcement or national security point of view. It bore all the marks of a White House political operation to sway U.S. public opinion in favor of gun control as the bodies piled up.

Issa wrote that Holder and the DOJ are “actively engaged in a cover-up” of activities related to Operation Fast and Furious, a scandal-plagued and ill-fated “gunwalking” program designed to track firearms from U.S. gun shops to drug cartels in Mexico. The operation used “straw purchasers” who purposely — and with government permission — bought guns with the unlawful intention of moving them across the border. – The Daily Caller
