Juarez Cartels Jose Antonio Acosta Hernandez El Diego Arrested With Fast and Furious Guns, Univision Transcript

According to Univision’s recent investigation into Operation Fast and Furious, when Juarez cartel boss Jose Antonio Acosta Hernandez was taken into custody by Mexican authorities in 2011, he was in possession of weapons from U.S. Operation Fast and Furious.

El Diego is linked to the deaths of more than 1,500 people in Mexco, according to CNN, though it is unclear exactly how many were killed with weapons provided by the United States government.

The Daily Caller relates:

“According to investigations, ‘El Diego’ forms the link between this massacre and Fast and Furious,” an anchor read on air in Spanish Sunday evening, referring to two different mass killings drug cartel operatives used Fast and Furious weapons to conduct as Univision reported.

“When he [El Diego] was captured in Chihuahua in the summer of 2011, he was found with weapons that the American government had allowed to enter Mexico,” the anchor added.

El Diego was, until he was taken into custody, the leader of the Juarez drug cartel’s La Linea — or “enforcement arm.” According to the El Paso Times, El Diego told Mexican authorities after his capture that La Linea’s mission was, among other things, to “eliminate the members of the Sinaloa cartel in Ciudad Juárez.”

The two “mass killings” referenced by the Daily Caller, with clearer links to Operation Fast and Furious, are the September 2009 massacre where 18 young men were killed at a Juarez rehabilitation center, and a January 2010 massacre where 14 high school and college students were killed at a birthday party.

The man was sentenced to life in prison for his role in the aforementioned killings, and many others.

Attorney General Eric Holder’s office has not yet issued a statement.

When all govt. assistance runs out…..The dependent recipients will be “fasting” for several days and the riots( Obama and Putin are counting on these ) will be “furious.” Civil unrest will complete his mission, whether he is re-elected or not, he has put his plan into action. He is relying on the “haves” to knock off a few of the “have nots.” Martial law to follow. Regime change needs blood, that is his little secret. House arrest for security for the people in effect.

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. here is another cause for the list.

Two more Border Agents shot over night in Arizona by Mexicans. I’m sure they were shot by Illegals again. One Agent is dead, the other in the hospital. No reports yet , but I’m sure the Obama Administration and Janet Napolitano are frantically searching for a Hollywood Video to blame the killing on instead of Fast and Furious. Obama has blood on his hands. Be sure to vote in November.
I support SB1070.

  In the USA, deadbeats & criminals get free “Obama Phones”, so why shouldn’t the foreign drug cartels get free “Obama Guns”? Makes perfect sense to me.

This is a redistribution of wealth ploy. Mexico will sue the US for negligence and more taxpayer money will go to Mexico. And, in the process, our government will pass more laws governing the sale of firearms. Progressives win.

This administration is so corrupt nothing surprises me anymore. The lack of testicular fortitude by the GOP also no longer surprises me.

I sometimes wonder what it would be like if Fast and Furious happened under a Republican President. We’d have wall to wall coverage of the violence in Mexico (and had Fast and Furious worked in that it would have portrayed gun dealers as complicit crooks we would have), with interpreters interviewing family members of slain citizens of Mexico and the hardships they have endured because of the Administration arming the cartels. The Terry family would be on Oprah, and she would give them all hugs for their strength and hardships. There would be a made for TV movie rushed to the airwaves for the election season, the Brian Terry story on CBS. A small army of reporters would be hounding the Attorney General, digging into his or her past to find incriminating incidents that would paint the President as an incompetent administrator. Every time the AG’s name is mentioned it would be followed by “the first AG to ever be found in contempt of congress”. Every no comment would be portrayed as an admission of some hidden guilt, every executive statement would be fact checked right down the grammar for inconsistencies or inaccuracies. You wouldn’t get away from it… then they’d ice the cake with the Libyan attack.

Article 4, Section 4, speaks of The Republic Form of Govt. and requiring a Republic…..It also mentions Security against invasion. Our leaders have side stepped, and stepped on the U.S.Constitution long enough for Us to realize that they are Not playing by the rules. Four dead in Libya, and the Fast and Furious are a glimps of Our leaders arming Our enemies; and its backfiring. Backfiring because it was to be kept quiet, or redirected by the state-media. Fascism by another name, remains Fascism.

Before the ink dries on this headline the not so talked about story in the media will be that Ronald Eric Holder McDonald and Obozo have released the Cartel Boss and are contemplating suing the DEA agents, if not advertising where he lives to the cartels. For daring to arrest a Dry Goods exporter who happens to be a dreamer.

Yeah they have found maybe twenty or so cartel members with the guns.Where the hell did the rest of them go?To non cartel members like hamas and hezebollah?Stay tuned for obazis form of iran contra affair.Difference is that the contra affair was an intelligence military affair that needed presidental approval.This is more like the crooked administration in bed with the terrorists.
