U.S. in the best of hands

U.S. Government Used Taxpayer Funds to Buy, Sell Weapons During 'Fast and Furious,' Documents Show

Not only did U.S. officials approve, allow and assist in the sale of more than 2,000 guns to the Sinaloa cartel -- the federal government used taxpayer money to buy semi-automatic weapons, sold them to criminals and then watched as the guns disappeared.  

This disclosure, revealed in documents obtained by Fox News, could undermine the Department of Justice's previous defense that Operation Fast and Furious was a "botched" operation where agents simply "lost track" of weapons as they were transferred from one illegal buyer to another. Instead, it heightens the culpability of the federal government as Mexico, according to sources, has opened two criminal investigations into the operation that flooded their country with illegal weapons...

 This Fast&Furious/Gunwalker thing is outrageous, a snarl of corrupt motivation, bone-headed conception, botched execution, topped off with an attempted cover-up by DOJ, ATF, and perhaps Executive Branch people located outside those agencies.  The number of murders this fiasco has produced, on both sides of the border and continuing into the indefinite future, is gruesome to contemplate.

The scandal directly involves core agencies of law enforcement of the US Government.  Heads must roll. The rot in Obama's DOJ needs to be cleaned out, starting with his buddy, AG Eric Holder.

A special prosecutor should have been appointed before now. Why hasn't that happened?  Anger among Mexican officials and citizens is not going to dissipate, quite the opposite, and it's completely justified. There will be no sweeping under the rug.

It's likely that the Solyndra funding mess will require a special prosecutor, also, for some of the same reasons.
