White House Staffer Knew About Gun Running Operation Last Fall

At least one person in the White House knew about the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives gun-running operation three months before weapons from the botched sting were found at the murder scene of a U.S. Border Patrol agent.

That’s what a high-ranking ATF official told Congress on Tuesday.

William Newell, the former ATF special agent in charge of the Phoenix field office, told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that he communicated with Kevin O'Reilly, a staffer on President Obama’s National Security Council, about Operation Fast and Furious in September 2010.

By that time, at least one thousand guns straw-purchased in the U.S. had been transferred to Mexican criminals under the noses of ATF officials who intended, but failed, to track them to see where they’d end up.

I really want to see Holder hauled up on Contempt of Congress charges.

The whole thing stinks....and this rotten fish is rotten from the head.

here they are again.

1. Rep. Issa says that BATFE is hindering congress in their probe of F&F.

2. This scheme, or plan, or whatever Holder thinks it was, let felons buy guns.

Indeed, I wonder how much Soros is paying these people to fall on their swords for 0 and his gang?

To re-elect Obama would be like the Titanic backing up and hitting the iceberg again.

Well now ....

I guess they finally settled on the fish that will take the fall for this F&FFU!

Kevin O'Reilly must have been made quite an offer to be the fall guy for Bambi and Hold'em's gun running operation. I wonder how much they had to pony up from Soros/DNC/SEIU/ACORN bribe funds to pay this guy off. Since he is obviously a liberal he places no value on his reputation.

I'm betting that he banks a big fat sum of money and ends up on the reelection committee Politburo. After Bambi steals the 2012 election, he will be made ambassador to some Middle Eastern Potentate's kingdom, where he can get on his knees daily for Da Man.

Why hasn't someone dragged Holder's ass up before Congress already and hit him with a smoking gun? I cannot believe that everyone in AFT and the FBI who knew about this crap are all liberal liars. You'd think that at least a dozen people would be ready to flush Bambi down the toilet.

Where has love of country gone in out career bureaucrats?

Shameful that murder during the commission of a felony is so easily written off by The President.

This may be just one of many paybacks Obama feels is due law enforcement.

have automatically convicted Rupert Murdoch for "knowing" what the reporters and editors of one of his many newspapers were doing illegally. They want him in jail for this supposed knowledge.

I'm betting (money that Congress has already ruined) that they'll be equally outraged and insist upon Obama's immediate imprisonment for what was happening at the BATF.

President Obama is a Muslim (from his own lips), Kenyan (read it from his publicist) a homosexual (read it on a news magazine cover) and a Socialist (I'm alive and can see it for myself)
