Will This New Fast and Furious Revelation Force Holder to Resign? (Take Our Poll)

New Congressional Report Singles Out 5 ATF Officials in Fast and Furious    Will Holder Be Forced to Resign?

Without any help from the Obama administration or the U.S. Department of Justice, GOP congressional investigators have determined that five senior officials with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) are together responsible for the failed federal gun-walking operation “Fast and Furious,” The Los Angeles Times reports.

The final report, which is expected to be released later this week, also reveals new evidence that shows agents from ATF in Phoenix initially tried to hide crucial information from the Mexican government about two firearms that were recovered after the brother of a Mexican state attorney general was killed in the country. The report claims the operation was “marred by missteps, poor judgements and inherently reckless strategy.”

Those implicated go from the ATF special agent-in-charge of the Phoenix field office to the top official in the bureau’s Washington headquarters. Attorney General Eric Holder has always denied any involvement of officials in Washington, D.C.

The congressional investigators said the report, obtained Monday by the Los Angeles Times, holds “the best information available as of now” about Fast and Furious, which led to Holder being found in contempt of Congress for failing to provide duly subpoenaed documents.

Two additional final reports will address “the devastating failure of supervision and leadership” at the DOJ and an “unprecedented obstruction of the [congressional] investigation by the highest levels of the Justice Department, including the attorney general himself.”

The Times has more details:

The joint staff report, authored by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and Charles E. Grassley of Iowa, the top Republican on theSenate Judiciary Committee, was highly critical of the ATF supervisors.

They found that William Newell, the special agent-in-charge in Phoenix, exhibited “repeatedly risky” management and “consistently pushed the envelope of permissible investigative techniques.” The report said “he had been reprimanded … before for crossing the line, but under a new administration and a new attorney general he reverted back to the use of risky gunwalking tactics.”

His boss, Deputy Assistant Director for Field Operations William McMahon, “rubber stamped critical documents that came across his desk without reading them,” the report alleged. “In McMahon’s view it was not his job to ask any questions about what was going on in the field.”

They added that McMahon gave “false testimony” to Congress about signing applications for wiretap intercepts in Fast and Furious.

His supervisor, Mark Chait, assistant director for field operations, “played a surprisingly passive role during the operation,” the report said. “He failed to provide oversight that his experience should have dictated and his position required.”

Above Chait was Deputy Director William Hoover, who the report said ordered an exit strategy to scuttle Fast and Furious but never followed through: “Hoover was derelict in his duty to ensure that public safety was not jeopardized.”

And they said Melson, a longtime career Justice official, “often stayed above the fray” instead of bringing Fast and Furious to an “end sooner.”

But, the investigators said, ATF agents said that they were hamstrung by federal prosecutors in Arizona from  obtaining criminal charges for illegal gun sales, and that Melson “even offered to travel to Phoenix to write the indictments himself. Still, he never ordered it be shut down.”

In the November 2010 slaying in Mexico of Mario Gonzalez, the brother of Patricia Gonzalez, then attorney general for the state of Chihuahua, two of 16 weapons were traced back to Fast and Furious after they were recovered from a shootout with Mexican police.

But 10 days later, ATF Agent Tonya English urged Agent Hope MacAllister and their supervisor, David J. Voth, to keep it under wraps. “My thought is not to release any information,” she told them in an email.

When Patricia Gonzalez later learned that two of the guns had been illegally obtained under Fast and Furious, she was outraged. “The basic ineptitude of these officials [who ordered the Fast and Furious operation] caused the death of my brother and surely thousands more victims,” she said.

The following month, Agent Terry was killed south of Tucson. Voth emailed back, “Ugh … things will most likely get ugly.”

Roughly 2,500 guns were walked in operation Fast and Furious, supposedly in an attempt to track the guns back to high-ranking drug cartel members. However, the program was shut down after U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was killed in December 2010. At that point, most of the weapons had been lost, but two of the guns were recovered at the scene of Terry’s murder.

The five ATF managers that are indicated in the upcoming congressional report have since moved to other positions. They have either defended Fast and Furious in congressional testimony or refused to talk about it. The LA Times attempted to contact the officials but were unsuccessful Monday.

Additionally, Holder and the DOJ have always maintained that Fast and Furious was only conducted out of the Arizona offices and never involved officials in Washington, D.C., who he says were unaware of the flawed “tactics” being implemented. Holder has refused to turn over all the documents requested by a Congressional committee headed by Rep. Darrel Issa (R-Calif.) and Obama has granted executive privilege in the case, which has raised additional question about how involved the White House was in the operation.

So considering the new information, take our poll below:

      “Roughly 2,500 guns were walked in operation Fast and Furious, supposedly in an attempt to track the guns back to high-ranking drug cartel members.”

      GPS tracking devices were NEVER placed in these weapons, so it would therefore be impossible to track them.

      Let me repeat that. It would be impossible to track them.

      So how were they supposed to find out where they went?

      They didn’t care.

      Their intentions were to have the Mex authorities pick up the weapons from crime scenes, relay the serial numbers to BATF who in turn would declare them to be US made weapons sold in the US for the purpose of using the scam to pretend gun control was necessary to halt the flow of weapons to Mexico.

      People do not know that most all of the cartel weapons are fully automatic AK 47′s or M-16′s neither of which can be legally purchased across the counter in the US without a special permit from the BATF, so most all cartel weapons DO NOT ORIGINATE IN THE US.

      They’re bought from the black market, Central and South America and from corrupt Mexicans in the Mex government.

      If the biased US leftist press had so informed its readers of those facts this scam could never have made it to step one.

      They didn’t do that, because they want gun control.

      The unfortunate reality is that the 40% of so anti-second amendment democrat voters in America could care less what Holder does, if some drug cartels are armed, or if a few border patrol agents get killed. That’s only collateral damage on the road towards a greater goal: disarming law abiding Americans. I think it is time we conservatives quit trying to make nice with those across the aisle as simply others who want the best for America through different means. The opposition is, in fact, evil. They are willing to excuse evil. When will we see that?

      I just a little leery of mentioning InfoWars. However, I do not believe the government came clean with the OKC bombing. McVeigh wanted to blow something up. the government had informants & facilitated up to the point & Nichols got help from various Muslims in the Phillipines. There is much blame to go all around.

      The Silent Brotherhood was going to finance its’ terror with bank robberies & the robbed at least 2 banks. Other terrorists groups have done the same.

      “Trentadue’s evidence points to the fact that federal agents killed his brother because they mistook him for Richard Lee Guthrie, a member of the Midwest Bank Robbery Gang that included McVeigh and had been robbing banks before the attack. Guthrie was found hanging in his cell while in federal custody a day before he was due to give a confessional interview about the Oklahoma City bombing.”

      “Docments obtained by Salt Lake City attorney Jesse Trentadue in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit show then Clinton Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder authorized members of the FBI to provide explosives to Oklahoma City bombing criminals Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols immediately prior to the April, 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah building.

      Holder had authorized the FBI to provide the explosives to McVeigh and Nichols in conjunction with a Clinton Administration undercover operation named PATCON, an acronym for “Patriot Conspiracy.” As Jesse Trentadue describes it, “PATCON was designed to infiltrate and incite… militia[s] and evangelical Christians to violence so that the Department of Justice could crush them.”

      Both Waco and Ruby Ridge are now known to have been PATCON inspired, Department of Justice plots. Shortly after the Oklahoma City bombing, Holder instructed FBI agents to recover from Terry Nichols any remainder of the explosives the Bureau had provided him and McVeigh…”

      I don;t believe that people in the FBI would plot to blow up the Murrah building in OKC. I do believe that they would infiltrate egg people on & then stop them before they could act.

      The FBI had informants in the white racist city of Elohim, Oklahoma. If there is a white racist organization of a “large” size the FBI has an informant or undercover agent in it. They knew that McVeigh was up to something & approximately what & approximately when.

      How much did they know. The records all need to be published un-redacted.

      That squirrel Nichols knows more but isn’t talking.

      That is until Fast & Furious. Still it is one thing for one or two people to get killed at a time with a government provided gun. It is another to kill a whole building of people.

      “Docments obtained by Salt Lake City attorney Jesse Trentadue in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit show then Clinton Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder authorized members of the FBI to provide explosives to Oklahoma City bombing criminals Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols immediately prior to the April, 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah building.

      Holder had authorized the FBI to provide the explosives to McVeigh and Nichols in conjunction with a Clinton Administration undercover operation named PATCON, an acronym for “Patriot Conspiracy.” As Jesse Trentadue describes it, “PATCON was designed to infiltrate and incite… militia[s] and evangelical Christians to violence so that the Department of Justice could crush them.”

      Both Waco and Ruby Ridge are now known to have been PATCON inspired, Department of Justice plots. Shortly after the Oklahoma City bombing, Holder instructed FBI agents to recover from Terry Nichols any remainder of the explosives the Bureau had provided him and McVeigh…”

      And you are wrong.. Holder will NOT resign… He won’t leave that office until he is forced out… Issa is doing exactly what he should be doing.. And MAYBE your right about him lacking evidence.. But its not for a lack of evidence, its that ALL of the evidence is in the possession of Holder and Obama and they aren’t coming off of it, due to the fact you would see that BOTH of them are guilty of this debacle and covered it up to lie about it…

      Many people died because of this… Not just here, but a lot of innocent people in Mexico died as well.. Don’t you think that THEY deserve some slight bit of Justice by having those responsible HELD responsible??

      Its a shame the Agent Terry died from this… But his job was dangerous, and had risks that I am sure he accepted… He died, and it was a shame… But the innocent Mexican civilians did NOT sign up for a job that got them murdered… THEY require Justice…

      And neither Holder nor Obama have any clue what the word even means…

      No, friend, you are confused. The doKuments Issa is requesting and Holder won’t turn over involve the WH and DOJ cover-up. Those will NEVER be disclosed. That is why there is a forthcoming Committee report describing an “unprecedented obstruction of the [congressional] investigation by the highest levels of the Justice Department, including the attorney general himself.”

      Issa DOES have proof that these other officials were involved. Some of that evidence, e.g., an email, is mentioned in the above article.

    It’s really a waste of time. Holder won‘t resign because he’s a complete dirt bag. Probably around half of Americans either don’t care what he did, or don’t understand that what he did – normal Americans would never do.

They have already violated their oaths of office in so many ways that it is almost inconceivable. Like Clinton, they get caught doing something crooked and corrupt and then they triple the offense. Somehow the original offense gets lost in the plethora of offenses that follow and everyone looses interest because of to much information about these sleezbags.
