The biased old media tried to suppress the story but their efforts brought the same fruit as the union recall of Scott Walker. FAIL!

It has the classic earmarks of Watergate. The cover-up, the trail to the White House. Obama as the latter-day Nixon.

Let 'er rip. The People should NOT be happy with this criminal organization known as the Obama Administration.

I'll be happy when it's put to a stop and everyone responsible is axed.

Of course...that also requires going after former President Bush and his administration, since it started there.

If that's the case then others will go down too. However Bush is like the gun shop owner that sold a gun to someone (Obama) and the buyer shot someone. The gun shop owner is not responsible for the others actions. So Bush will remain safe unless something else pops up, which is doubtful.

Obama is famous for throwing his supporters under the bus, but he is VERY loyal to Holder.

Does Holder have something on Obama?

The entire scandal started under Bush. The only thing different is Holder was too stupid to not get caught.

Fast And Furious Did Not Begin Under President Bush:

Scandal: The president's spokesman confuses a "controlled delivery" operation known as Wide Receiver with the quite different Fast and Furious and couldn't even remember the name of the Border Patrol agent killed by it.

When a Border Patrol agent is murdered in the service of his country as a result of a program run by his own government, one would think the White House press secretary would know his name. Jay Carney, his name was Brian Terry.

During a contentious press conference where even the White House press corps seemed to have had enough with the administration's tap dancing about an operation that began on its watch and got two federal agents killed, ABC's Jake Tapper had to feed a stumbling Carney the name of the Border Patrol agent killed by it.

To refresh Mr. Carney's memory, and perhaps that of the president, who never called the family, Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was killed in December 2010 at the hands of an illegal immigrant working for the Sinaloa Cartel just 10 miles from the Mexico border near Nogales, Ariz. Two AK-47 assault rifles found at the site of the Terry shooting were traced back to a straw buyer allowed to smuggle guns into Mexico with the blessing of the ATF and Eric Holder's Department of Justice.

In addition to Agent Terry, Immigration Customs Enforcement Agent Jaime Zapata was also killed in a separate incident by a weapon allowed to "walk" into Mexico from the U.S. as part of the administration's third-rate alleged attempt to track and catch gun traffickers. Let us not forget the hundreds of Mexican nationals who have been killed by Fast and Furious weapons.

Like the administration he serves, Carney was perhaps too focused on the party line that gun-walking into Mexico was something begun under President George W. Bush and Fast and Furious was merely an extension of this policy.

Dubbed "Operation Wide Receiver," the Bush-era operation was run out of Tucson between 2006 and 2007, ending before Bush left office and before Fast and Furious began under Obama in 2009. The differences between it and Fast and Furious are vast, starting with the fact that Wide Receiver produced no dead bodies.

Operation Wide Receiver used the common law enforcement tactic of "controlled delivery" in which the illegal sales of weapons were allowed to take place, the movements of the weapons were closely monitored and the end purchasers were then apprehended. It involved gun-tracing, not gun-walking.
