"Fast and Furious" Goes All the Way to the White House

By now, “Gunwalker” and “Fast and Furious” have both entered the national lexicon.  And although the amount of information known about the operations varies from person to person, the majority of Americans know they have something to do with the selling of guns to “straw purchasers” in the U.S., who were supposed to smuggle the guns into Mexico and put them in the hands of cartel members, who were then to be arrested.
 
What most people seem not to know is who exactly was behind the Gunwalker and Fast and Furious operations. Was it the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives)?  Yes.  Was it also Attorney General Eric Holder?  Well, there’s no doubt he was instrumental in Gunwalker, and it’s now known that his chief of staff was briefed on Fast and Furious.  So how about President Obama​? What did he know?  According to information that has surfaced during ongoing investigations by Rep. Darrell Issa (R.-Calif.) and Sen. Charles Grassley (R.-Iowa), it’s certain that knowledge of Fast and Furious went all the way to the White House.

Lies, lies and more lies from this administration. Go get 'em, Issa!

The only thing surprising about that is that Obama and Valerie Jarrett were actually paying enough attention to what was going on in DOJ to be involved at all.

Unfortunately, this isn't going to get any traction until January 2013, when Obama is the ex-President.
