ATF gun running scandal: More stuff
Source claims ATF agents allowed gun smuggling into the Honduras too.
Turns out the operation was widely known throughout the justice department, with meetings involving:
Assistant Attorney General (Criminal Division) Lanny Breuer,
Kenneth Melson, Acting Director, ATF
William Hoover, Acting Deputy Director, ATF
Michele Leonhart, Administrator, DEA
Robert Mueller, Director FBI
Oops.
A twitter hashtag for the scandal.
Apt analogy: Melson is not falling on that sword.

Holder is losing deniability, even though he’s already denied knowing about Gunwalker. Looks like his timing was off. Seems like a fatal career error to issue a denial before establishing deniability.

Yet, in the Lamestream Media, the amount of time spent covering of this scandal wouldn’t make up half of the nightly Baseball scores.

All of these people need to go and to also forfeit their governmental pensions.
What they did was criminal – they need to be prosecuted.
