Fast and Furious –

Katie Pavlich wrote the book, literally, on Fast & Furious. If you are not spitting mad by the end of this, you have a screw loose. The plan was to sell the guns through straw purchasers, and then follow them. Except they forgot the “follow them” part. No Fortune Magazine article can dispute the incompetence shown here.

Listen to her interview on Afterwords here:

The contributing editor of Townhall Magazine explores the controversial gun supply operation, initially run by the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms, that’s currently under congressional investigation. She discusses her findings with National Journal’s White House correspondent Major Garrett.

    QUESTIONS:

    1. When was this program started?

    2. How did the guns get to Mexico?

    3. Did BATF attempt to track the guns? How?

    4. Was Mexican law enforcement involved in the operation?

    5. Who was in charge of this operation? Indeed, who planned and ordered it?

    6. When did BATF realize that they were losing track of large numbers of the guns? What action did they take?

    7. When did the program stop?

    8. Of the documents requested by the Congress, how many have been handed over?

    9. Why have documents been redacted?

    10. If Barry claims that neither he nor Holder knew anything about F&F until (apparently) they saw it on the news, then what communications could he possibly hold under executive priviledge?

    I think that no democrat wants to answer many – if any – of these questions. They MUCH prefer to tell us that anybody who asks is a racist.

    Makes you wonder, doesn’t it?

      Testimony before Congress said that when ATF officials in DC heard that F&F guns were showing up at crime scenes (ie murder scenes) that the officials were “Delighted”. These scumbags were celebrating that they had facilitated murder.

      WHat was the purpose of the operation? It appears that when the guns showed up at crime scenes that purpose was fulfilled.

      Those were the types of questions Major Garrett, the interviewer of Katie Pavlich asked in the podcast. And one wonders why no one else is asking them.

    Pavlich’s book is well researched and her references documented. The initial Congressional inquiry was ‘WHO thought this up and WHO was in charge of this program?’

    DOJ’s response was “there was NO such program”. That statement was retracted 8 months later. And the lying and coverup began.

    You know there isn’t a defence when the dem’s in congress have to rely on theatric’s instead of debate to try to disuade. What a spectical. Pelosi couldn’t even get the border control agents name correct. ww
