Bottom up , not top down . BOTTOM UP , NOT TOP DOWN . The only people worthy of criticism or investigation in this whole affair are the whistle blowers .

1. Cummings is talking bollocks, isn't he?

The idea that Melson wasn't aware of "Fast and Furious" taking place is extremely hard to credit, given the reports about him wanting video feed streamed from Arizona to his office PC. And even taking it as read that Holder was kept in the dark about his subordinates' activities at the time, once he found out about it, he should have caused heads to roll, rather than engaging in what looks suspiciously like an attempt to sweep the whole sorry mess under the rug.

2. Look at me

The human megaphone is not that difficult a concept to grasp .


Everyone , again ...

The only agents who did wrong.......... the only ones warranting chief counsel’s cognizance ........ internal affairs investigations..............the only ones requiring management retaliation.......disciplinary actions.........termination proceedings.................and congressional hearings ....were the whistle blowers........... and a used car dealer from Corpus .

4. I'm sorry, what was I thinking?!

Yes, yes, of course, it's all the whistle-blowers' fault.

3. Unforuntate title headline.

Your post deserves more attention than your title is going to garner.

This is a big deal.

Right now this guy is saying that this was just a local initiative out of Phoenix. Just some bad apples at the bottom are responsible for Fast & Furious.

Never mind the fact that the program involved the BATFE, FBI, DEA, IRS, CIA, and ICE.

Amazing how one field branch in Phoenix can coordinate such a massive inter-agency cooperative effort.

This is bullshit. They are trying to scapegoat the Phoenix office of the BATFE.

5. This whole fuckup...

...goes pretty far up the food chain, possibly all the way to the Oval Office. There was a time when I actually cared about protecting party interests, but now, not so much. Fuck them all....bunch of rotten bastards.

11. Bob Schieffer laughed snot out've his nose off-camera.

That had to be rehearsed, Cummings CAN'T be that clueless.

12. This just in ...........soup sandwiches for lunch

According to the NY Times , "American law enforcement agencies" have completely infiltrated the Mexican cartels .

[Katya Mullethov]

13. And it's grilled soup sandwiches for dinner !

Apparently , I'm not the only one getting tired of eating the same old thing .

14. and they keep going back to Phoenix.

The agent in charge of the rogue office, Bill Newell has since come up with a letter giving cover it is apparent why he has been promoted instead of fired.

Still doesn't answer why he had back channel communications link with the White House. All of the straw purchasers “nabbed” during the course of the ATF’s anti-gun smuggling gun smuggling program are bit players. Petty criminals. All of them.

A 10 percent recovery rate on the ATF’s “guns for goons” program, there's no way on earth the ATF was going to nail the cartel jefes using small time gun smugglers.

15. Back channels ? What a coincidence

Did you hear they found Kevin "Unreachable" O’Reilly last Friday ?

[one-eyed fat man]

16. Heard he had suddenly been assigned to Iraq

Do you suppose every time a car bomb goes off in Baghdad and his name isn't on the list someone in the West Wing goes "Aw, shit!"
