The Gift that Keeps on Giving

A .50-caliber rifle found at Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman’s hideout in Mexico was funneled through the gun-smuggling investigation known as Fast and Furious, sources confirmed Tuesday to Fox News. [More]

Just one question: How was it an "investigation" if they made no attempt to investigate?

That's just as diversionary as calling it a "botched sting." (Oh, look, they did.)

Something's "botched" here, alright...

The key to what was really going on is right in front of everyone:

This is the third time a weapon from the Fast and Furious program has been found at a high-profile Mexican crime scene. 

Making sure that happened is what it was all about.

The Terry murder, and the initial allegation by 1desertrat, meant they couldn't hide their role in setting that up to happen.

The Trouble with Harry

Federal authorities have stymied his effort, leaving Rawlings to wonder why. Were agents ordered to steer clear of that money trail? And, if so, by whom? In short, was there a cover-up? [More] 

Find some compelling evidence and watch how quickly the media starts calling it a "botched sting."

Mum's the Word

We've already told everyone it was a "botched sting."  What more do they want? [More]

Nothing ever changes.

I believe Gomer would like to have the last word here.

A Billion Here, A Billion There...

Pretty soon you're talking real money. [Read]

Except anybody who believes this was an "error" probably thinks Gunwalker was "a botched sting."

Let's call looting what it is.

Obama is about as interested in “green energy” as he is in girls.

Now that's funny right there.

The Bigger Picture

Every indicator I've seen says Fast and Furious was just one component of a foreign and domestic policy agenda. Some day, the official players and the truth will be known. I'd like to think it will be in my lifetime, but I'm not holding my breath.  My guess is this will be a job for historians, not "journalists." [More]

"Botched sting" my...

Unwarranted Assumptions

“Mr. President, I understand it is absolutely unacceptable that an agency under me was sending guns to Mexican drug cartels, including one used to kill an American border patrol agent. My resignation letter is on your desk.”

“I’m sorry I have to accept this, Eric.” [More] 

Sorry, but I'm not buying into the premise here. Next thing you'll be telling us is it was a "botched sting."

We're the Only Ones Passive Enough

Charlottesville review: Faulty planning, passive police led to 'disastrous results' at Aug. 12 rally [More]

I guess as long as "we" can attribute it to "mistakes, missteps and failures," real accountability can be avoided.

I'm just surprised it's not being called a "botched sting."

Here's the report.

A Fond Farewell

Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham set the right tone with his tweet: "I appreciate AG Holder's service to our country even though we had strong disagreements at times. I wish him well in future endeavors." [More]

Thanks, Grahamnesty. Between that and we ought to thank the guy, who needs syrup of ipecac?

Naturally, they refer to "the bungled 'Fast and Furious' gun-running sting operation," without ever questioning where the potential for a sting was. But what the hell: Even The Washington Times is still throwing out "the botched Fast and Furious gunwalking operation" as if not botching it would have been a better outcome.

The important thing to remember:

Analysts said Mr. Holder — the first sitting Cabinet official ever to face a contempt citation from Congress — will likely duck any legal punishment...

Rest Assured

[Click to enlarge]

Anybody see anything worth Holder covering things up that's come out of this yet? This is the same deliberate indifference that's characterized "Gunwalker" since Day One.

Aside from advancing the absurd "botched gun sting" deception, anybody see anything other than double-talk coming out of ol' Buddy here?  Every time one of these guys (or Fairfax, for that matter) says "Rest assured," it's like code for you're being played.  Resting and trusting them to actually do something means nothing will get done -- which is the plan.

Yet again they have been given leads they have the power to follow, and yet again the deniers can count on cover from the glad-handers.

Rush Limbaugh Recognizes Buried Truth Behind Fast and Furious ‘Gunwalking’

Those guns ended up in the hands of Mexican drug cartels,” Limbaugh explained.

“So the way they do it is to try to create a mass hysteria,” he elaborated. “The program backfired because it was discovered.” [More]

Meanwhile, Soros-funded apparatchiks dismiss that as "wild conspiracy theory," and the mainstream press dutifully spreads the "botched gun sting" misdirection.

Feds don't want El Chapo's jury to hear about botched 'Fast and Furious' sting that let guns flow over border [More]

We're the Only Ones Foot-Dragging Enough

The review finds fault with the speed of the agents' response to the evidence against the three Lancaster men. [More]

Hey, but then they couldn't have ensured the guns would turn up at a Mexican crime scene to feed the administration's narrative about U.S. gun sales.

Besides, the media can just refer to it as a "botched gun sting" and no one will care, let alone be held accountable.

Unanswered Questions

Expect them to stay that way, and for anyone getting close to be ridiculed as a conspiracy theorist. [More]

What that does is, it allows "competing" conspiracies, including directed disinformation, to steer a detached public's short attention span away from actual conspiracies.

"Botched gun sting," anyone?

The NeverEnding Story

Border Patrol agents arrested a group of heavily armed Mexican nationals who illegally crossed the border into southern Arizona. The agents found three Mexican nationals who were carrying multiple weapons–including “assault-style firearms.” [More]

Any traceable to the "botched gun sting"?

We're the Only Ones Blameless Enough

Authorities say a teen felon is solely to blame for a horribly botched police sting in rural Missouri that ended with a cop fatally shooting a young woman who tried to help officers. [More]

Yeah, they would say that.

You Mean the "Oopsie--Our Bad"...?

Keep asking questions about bungled gun sting  [Read]

OK, here's an easy one: How come--in spite of all the evidence that there was never any capability nor intention to track guns once they crossed the Mexican border--the Detroit News and other "official" media outlets still refer to the Project Gunwalker conspiracy as a "bungled" or "failed operation"?

And that perennial favorite, "botched"...

We're the Only Ones Commandeering Enough

A federal court has ruled that the Drug Enforcement Agency does not have to pay a truck owner whose vehicle they commandeered in a botched drug sting operation – without his knowledge or permission – in which the agency's confidential informant driver was shot dead and the truck was damaged.

Oops, Our Bad

Establishment media outlets repeatedly bungled their coverage of Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh, spreading misinformation as a result. [More]

"Bungled"?

Like in "botched gun sting"?

The lazy useful idiots no doubt amplified talking points, but the narrative being parroted was pure DSM.

"Not Evil Just Wrong" is a Groverian delusion.

If "three times" is "enemy action," what the hell is nine?

The propagandists weren't "pushing misinformation." They were lying on behalf of their handlers. For power. Over you, me and ours.

Et Tu, Breitbart?

The weapons were supposed to be traced to high ranking cartel figures, however the U.S. Department of Justice lost track of thousands... [More]

No they weren't and no they didn't.

Pretty pathetic and discouraging to see these guys buying into and promoting the "botched gun sting" line of BS.
