In response to Mr. Sanfilippo: He did not state his letter as an opinion. Fact is the ATF is responsible in the so called Fast and Furious situation.
Let”s set that aside for the second. In the past two weeks two gun-trafficking investigations from the Bush administration have surfaced, using the same controversial tactics for which Congressional Republicans have been criticizing the Obama Administration on Fast and Furious.
Emails obtained by the Associated Press show 2007 investigation in Phoenix. ATF agents under the Bush Regime depended on Mexican authorities to follow up ? Let guns “walk” across the border in a effort to identify higher-ups in the gun network .The ATF under the Bush regime carried out an operation called “Wide Receiver” resulting in hundreds of guns being transferred to suspect arms traffickers (Source Associated Press, Pete Yost).
So, kind of a catch 22 situation.
