njpilot 671 Posted December 28, 2014 was all about new gun control regulations. Wow, go figure. Doubt anyone here is surprised. Think anyone in the O admin would be willing to own up to the truth? Yeah, didn't think so. http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2014/12/sharyl_attkisson_docs_indicate_atf_was_using_fast_and_furious_to_justify_new_gun_regs.html#ixzz3N2hO0RZA December 26, 2014 Sharyl Attkisson: Docs indicate ATF was using Fast and Furious to justify new gun regs By Thomas Lifson Just as Second Amendment civil rights activists feared, federal government bureaucrats were supplying illegal firearms to Mexican drug cartels in the expectation that it would led to pressure for more regulation. Analyzing a 60 page document release in response to a FOIA action by Judicial Watch Attkisson writes: Justification for New Gun Control Regulations ATF’s internal Public Affairs Talking Points show the agency was using Fast and Furious to help justify new gun control regulations–without telling the public that ATF was actually facilitating the delivery of weapons to Mexican drug cartels. The talking points (p. 15) state: These cases demonstrate the ongoing trafficking of firearms by Mexican DTO’s and other associated groups operating in Arizona and the need for reporting of multiple sales for certain types of rifles in order to ferret out those intent on providing firearms to these criminal groups.”There is much more in her report, so read the whole thing. But keep in mind: Clues as to why President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder kept the public documents secret for so long may be found in one 60-page release examined below. Nearly three years after-the-fact, its news value is diminished. If these documents had been turned over when Congress subpoenaed them or when they were first requested under FOI law, they would have revealed damaging information in the lead-up to President Obama’s re-election in 2012. By exerting executive privilege, the President and Holder kept them hidden until the court challenge forced their release. Ms. Attkisson is a national treasure.

siderman 1,137 Posted December 28, 2014 I am just so overwhelmingly astounded at all the scandals and outright fails, deceit, lack of promised transparency, lack of leadership and cival divide this administration is at fault for. And to think it was a simple b&e- in comparison-that started the tar and feathering of Nixon/Watergate. So much of the countries problems are a result of no self accountability and it starts at the top.What a pile of garbage Obumba turned out to be.

bhunted 887 Posted December 28, 2014 Geeze, if nobody, (John Q Public), knew about this before and finds out now, there very well can be bad civil unrest and not by Sharpton followers either. They better hope the south doesn't rise up and wage war. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mipafox 438 Posted December 28, 2014 You know what is so amazing about this crime? We haven't learned a damned new thing about it since DAY 1, despite all of the "revelations." If anybody listened when this story broke, every single last thing that has dribbled out in the media or RTK requests over the last few years was there right from the start in the initial disclosure.

Zeke 5,504 Posted December 28, 2014 As Americans can we riot yet? I'll have to read the 60 pages. We all knew this. My question is what do we want our country to be???????? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Respect2A 0 Posted December 28, 2014 As Americans can we riot yet? Are you white? ------ no Are you any other color ----- yes If you are white then shut up and get back to being uncool in today's culture. You are the enemy of equality and fairness. You deserve anything bad that happens to you due to your white privilege. Even if your family was dirt poor since they came here. Get back to work, we have mouths to feed off of your white privileged paycheck. We don't care if you are living paycheck to paycheck. You owe us.

Old Glock guy 1,127 Posted December 29, 2014 So after all the fight to keep the documents secret, including the use of executive privilege, this proves what most of us knew all along. That's a huge revelation. Wanna bet it goes nowhere? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
