More details about tomorrow’s Univision expose of Operation Fast & Furious.

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  September 29th at 02:01 PM  | 

I’ve looked at that second paragraph three times and I don’t know which is the worst revelation. That the Obama administration enabled the murder of innocent children? That it indirectly participated in a targeted assassination of the family of a Mexican law enforcement official? That it’s going to be pointed out that the Obama administration was in full Ugly American mode when it came to the Mexican government? Or that our actions emboldened Mexican narco-terrorists to continue their destabilization campaign against our southern neighbor? Any one of those would be a scandal; taken collectively, and you have to wonder just how many more people have to die before Barack Obama and Eric Holder will take any kind of accountability for their actions.

Breaking: DOJ’s Inspector General’s office insulates Attorney General Holder from Operation Fast & Furious.

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  September 19th at 03:10 PM  | 

Executive summary: the Inspector General for the Department of Justice did an independent – no, let’s be honest; it was an “internal” – investigation into the horrifically botched multi-agency program known as Operation Fast & Furious (OF&F).  For those who don’t remember, OF&F was that program where we let Mexican drug gangs illegally buy guns, didn’t keep track of the guns, and pretty much watched | Read More »

Two New Updates on Fast and Furious

By: Jake (Diary)  |  August 13th at 06:00 AM  | 

Over this past weekend, two new news stories on Fast and Furious have surfaced that are worth mentioning (then again, most, if not all, stories on Fast and Furious are worth covering). First of all, it’s been reported that Darrell Issa is going to sue Eric Holder for civil contempt in the federal circuit court for the District of Columbia, according to Rollcall. However, the | Read More »

Jay Carney pretty much flubs everything about Operation Fast & Furious.

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  June 21st at 04:30 PM  | 

This is going to be a very visual post, and, as usual, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney provides little if any actual semantic content, so I will simply summarize each video. First off, we have the standard obfuscation:

Meet Ronald C Machen, US Attorney for the District of Columbia.

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  June 20th at 10:00 AM  | 

He hates his life – or at least, he’s about to hate his life. You see, if Congress votes today to hold US Attorney General Eric Holder in criminal contempt of Congress today for Holder’s stonewalling on providing documents on the botched Operation Fast & Furious botched gunrunning scandal* then Mr. Machen is apparently the lucky individual who gets to bring charges up for a | Read More »

Is the Department of Justice sanitizing its connection to Media Matters for America?

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  April 21st at 04:23 PM  | 

OK, here’s the background.  CJ Ciaramella is a reporter at the Washington Free Beacon, and he emailed the Department of Justice to find out if they had any response to the allegations being featured in Kate Pavlich’s latest book on the Operation Fast & Furious scandal (Fast and Furious: Barack Obama’s Bloodiest Scandal and the Shameless Cover-Up).  Specifically, the allegation that there was a third | Read More »

Comparing the Colombian Prostitute Scandal to Operation Fast & Furious.

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  April 19th at 09:30 AM  | 

So, we now what the priorities are when it comes to American law enforcement officials acting badly. Secret Service agents who patronize, then refuse to pay, Colombian prostitutes? People end up getting fired, investigated, and generally have their careers blighted, within days. DEA/DOJ officials who put cop-killing (and Mexican-civilian-killing) guns into the hands of Mexican narco-terrorist gangs? No firings. The bare minimum of non-Congressional investigations. | Read More »

A question for ANY GOP Presidential campaign out there…

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  February 5th at 11:54 AM  | 

…why are none of them talking about Operation Fast & Furious? And when I say ‘talk’ I mean ‘bringing it up at every opportunity, complete with raised voices and angry tones.’ Seriously. This is an easy issue to be on the right side of: everyone agrees – now – that it’s bad to create a sting operation where you facilitate the running of guns to | Read More »
