Sounds like damage control has worked as it usually does.

Blame falls on people at the middle or lower levels. And far away from D.C.

I guess this proves that there was no anti-2nd amendment forces at work here, Eric and Company are innocent, truth,justice and the American way still prevail and Brian Terry isn´t really dead.

Who authorized "Fast & Furious?"

When was Eric Holder informed?

When was Obama informed?

When will Holder turn over the 70,000+ documents responsive to a Congressional subpoena?

Takes action, golden parachutes for the guilty and no charges. Oh to be on the gov´t payroll.

Okay, so the guys following orders got fired and demoted ... What are they gonna do to the guys who gave the orders ... Shoot them?

And when do they arrest Holder and 0bama?

I hope they come out and start giving the facts.

The looming question should be, "why was it necessary to exert Executive Privilege if Holder and Obama were NOT involved?"

Exactly!

Little fish.

I will beln the system when I see Holder and Bam Bam are gone,

Darrell Issa is a DOG for not getting yo the bottom of this.
What a waste product.

to not yo!!

Good thing Obama got hissef that mighty fine big black bus, ain´t it? Room fo all kinds of unlucky suckers under it.

Yeah take it out on all the little guys who were just following orders and probably had no idea what the whole plan was about. In the meantime the corrupt in charge who were sending out the orders are untouched. Sickening. We need to clean up this corrupt government of ours.

Some posters appear comically naive about what´s involved in opposing the Federal government...

Exactly, #10. These aren´t the ones to blame for anything.

Those who concocted and implemented the plan are to blame, are at a very high level, and probably won´t ever be touched.

If you want to keep up with what´s going on, visit David Codrea´s Gun Rights Examiner site and Mike Vanderboegh´s Sipsey Street Irregulars site. Those two seemingly-insignificant bloggers broke the story after doing yeoman´s work talking with informants in the ATF and digging for information.

It´s never smart to take a job working for evil people. If government employees had been smart, they would have quit the day they found out the Geitner is a criminal and Holder is a racist.

One thing about the federal government : bad stuff ALWAYS rolls downhill catching the little guy. While the big boys at the top remain clean and pristine.

Good start, now go after the top man at DOJ and WH. Impeachment at least for Mr. Obama, firing and legal prosecution for everyone else. Are these people being tried as accessories to murder? Are they being sued in civil courts for such, since they set up a program whereby hundreds of Mexican citizens and Officer Brian Terry were murdered. Should they not have known that this "program" was an invitation to murdering the innocent? Is there a claim of "sovereign immunity" that protects these people? Why?

Bada Bing! Now these guys can produce evidence of how deeply involved Obozo & Holder were. Payback is a b.

I don´t think any evidence will ever be ´´produced´´ nor do I believe any books will be written or interviews given. These people all have gotten their pensions, benefits, parachutes; the payment thereof likely has a lot to do with their keeping quiet. I´d bet a buck that the ´´firing´´ was for public consumption and that they´re being otherwise compensated...

#22, YOU NAIED IT. The real guilty parties are in the dept. of justice and the white house. All the other crap is just window dressing so that the democRAT propaganda corps(the media) can lie to the American People with immunity.

EXCUSE ME!!!!!

Colson, Magruder, et al got as much as 7 years................NOBODY DIED and NIXON RESIGNED!!!


Where´s the BALLS in this government???

Oh, that´s right.......it´s a GAY - VARMINT!!

I am still so mad, I´m sorry for the second post but Fast & Furious is the domestic failure equal to Benghazi

ARMING ENEMIES OF THE STATE IS TREASON!!!


Gun running to Mexican drug cartels, enemies of the United States, in Fast & Furious was treason!!!

Weapons transfers to AQ Libyans was treason!!!

Both foreign and domestically this administration should face trial for its treason to this country!!!!!


HELLO?!

I totally agree with everything you stated

This is a WAY big article... but WAY too short. I hope reporter Mary Chastain gives us more follow-up.

Plus, I agree with the OP in that I haven´t heard this mentioned any where else.

It burns me up that (fta) "Despite these developments, the agents will receive full retirement benefits."

Rep. Issa: Where are you??

When is ATF going to take action against management for their part in the cover up. Seems that no one ever takes responsibility for anything in this administration, at least not above a certain lever. Zippy is always looking to blame someone else, Bush, Chaney, Rove, Eisenhower, Nixon, Bush H.W. etc. Nothing is ever his fault, according to him. This is the new America, no one is responsible for anything if they have a D after their name.

"certain Level".
