Gunwalker was just the tip. But the media doesn’t want to know.

The problem is the entire administration is designed for coverup. It’s just a question of stupidity working for or against us. Like Acorn, everything is broken up into cells with different program names.
Oh, check out this, today’s Drudge link to Real Clear Politics.
Eric Holder said in May that he’d only learned of Fast & Furious a few weeks earlier. But they dug up Obama on CNN Espanol back in March talking about Fast and Furious and what Holder did and didn’t know about it. How did Obama know what Holder knew back in March if Holder didn’t find out about it until May?
And, of course, the CNN Espanol interview definitely connects knowledge of Fast and Furious all the way to the top, to Obama himsef.
How is it at all possible that Obama has his cronies aren’t taken down now? The guy from ‘Scrubs’ should be able to successfully prosecute this case.
How is this not over. The biggest problem now should be not letting all the little fish out of the net.
This is my fourth attempt to post this comment. The second time said it was a duplicate, yet it hasn’t shown up yet. Not that the comment is all that great, but did I mention my stubbornness?
CBS News has a good article on how grenades were part of the program.
CBS News investigative correspondent Sharyl Attkisson, who has reported on this story from the beginning, said on “The Early Show” that the investigation into the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF)’s so-called “Fast and Furious” operation branches out to a case involving grenades. Sources tell her a suspect was left to traffic and manufacture them for Mexican drug cartels.
Police say Jean Baptiste Kingery, a U.S. citizen, was a veritable grenade machine. He’s accused of smuggling parts for as many as 2,000 grenades into Mexico for killer drug cartels — sometimes under the direct watch of U.S. law enforcement.

Law enforcement sources say Kingery could have been prosecuted in the U.S. twice for violating export control laws, but that, each time, prosecutors in Arizona refused to make a case.
Grenades are weapons-of-choice for the cartels. An attack on Aug. 25 in a Monterrey, Mexico casino killed 53 people.
Sources tell CBS News that, in January 2010, ATF had Kingery under surveillance after he bought about 50 grenade bodies and headed to Mexico. But they say prosecutors wouldn’t agree to make a case. So, as ATF agents looked on, Kingery and the grenade parts crossed the border — and simply disappeared.
…
Attkisson added on “The Early Show” that, in August, Mexican authorities raided Kingery’s stash house and factory, finding materials for 1,000 grenades. He was charged with trafficking and allegedly admitted not only to making grenades, but also to teaching cartels how to make them, as well as helping cartel members convert semi-automatic rifles to fully-automatic. As one source put it: There’s no telling how much damage Kingery did in the year-and-a-half since he was first let go. The Justice Department inspector general is now investigating this, along with “Fast and Furious.”
