GUN WALKING STARTED UNDER BUSH
Gun walking started un Bush under the name operation wide receiver;
Fast And Furious-Like 'Gun-Walking'
Probe Mentioned In 2007 Bush Administration Memo
WASHINGTON A briefing paper prepared for Attorney General Michael Mukasey during the Bush administration in 2007 outlined failed attempts by federal agents to track illicitly purchased guns across the border into Mexico and stressed the need for U.S. and Mexican law enforcement officials to work together on such efforts using a tactic that now is generating controversy.
Carroll's email did not elaborate, but a month ago, Justice Department documents released in the probe of Fast and Furious disclosed the first of two Bush-era probes, Operation Wide Receiver, which was carried out by ATF's Tucson, Ariz., office beginning in 2006. In it, several hundred weapons wound up in the hands of arms traffickers.
Fast And Furious-Like 'Gun-Walking' Probe Mentioned In 2007 Bush Administration Memo
　
And going after Atty. Gen. Holder is not a witch hunt subject to a high class lynching?
Shouldn't we be using the probe on Bush also?
The program also STOPPED under Bush. You see dumb ass they worked with the Mexican Government and when the Mexican Government told them they could not track the guns in Mexico the program was halted after about 400 guns were lost.
Fast and Furious did not even tell the Mexican Government what they were doing. They did not track the weapons in the States and they made no effort to arrest the buyers. In fact the 2 men they did arrest were under protection from another US agency.
Getting the point yet dumb fuck? Under Bush they tried to track guns into Mexico with the cooperation and help of Mexican Government after 400 guns walked the Mexican Government told the US they could not track the weapons so the program was PERMANENTLY shut down. fast forward to 2009 the same office that already KNEW the program did not work with Mexican help did it again this times 5 times bigger and with no notification to the Mexicans at all.
As I understand it in the original program some of the weapons were fitted with GPS and still lost. Under Fast and Furious no such effort was made.
Also under Bush we know of the program because no one DENIED they started it lead it conducted it or ordered it shut down. Under Holder no one admits to knowing why a program that already failed with Mexican Cooperation was restarted with no help from Mexico and was carried out for over a year with no results. Well except 2000 guns going to cartels.
Holder denies he knew about it. No o0ne in Justice admits they ordered it started again. Even though we have an E- Mail that clearly shows not only did Holder know he was involved.
Further we have a motive for why the guns were allowed to walk. The list of weapons allowed to walk under the program was given to the FBI and they were told by Mexican authorities many of those guns were recovered in crimes in Mexico. The FBI attempted to use those facts to push for more stringent Gun Control Laws claiming that guns were illegally walking to Mexico with out knowing that the Justice Department let them but actually ordered sellers to sell the weapons and sold some themselves.
