KUHNER: Obama’s Watergate

Officials cover up culpability for gun smuggling and murder

A year ago this week, U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was murdered. He died protecting his country from brutal Mexican gangsters. Two AK-47 assault rifles were found at his death site. We now know the horrifying truth: Agent Terry was killed by weapons that were part of an illegal Obama administration operation to smuggle arms to the dangerous drug cartels. He was a victim of his own government. This is not only a major scandal; it is a high crime that potentially reaches all the way to the White House, implicating senior officials. It is President Obama’s Watergate.

Operation Fast and Furious was run by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and overseen by the Justice Department. It started under the leadership of Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. Fast and Furious enabled straw gun purchases from licensed dealers in Arizona, in which more than 2,000 weapons were smuggled to Mexican drug kingpins. ATF claims it was seeking to track the weapons as part of a larger crackdown on the growing violence in the Southwest. Instead, ATF effectively has armed murderous gangs. About 300 Mexicans have been killed by Fast and Furious weapons. More than 1,400 guns remain lost. Agent Terry likely will not be the last U.S. casualty.

Let's hope it's his watergate and not swept under the rug.

It depends on how many Obama throws under the bus as to whether he

is to answer these charges. It is cover up season.

There's more trash and scandals surrounding this clown it will be a blessing to see it all exposed this coming year.

And then there's this;

Ex-Freddie, Fannie CEOs Sued Over Loans - Bloomberg

Maybe this will clean out some of the dems who are responsible for the mess.

Barney Fwank, a prime scoundrel in all this crap, is ducking out scot free.

Exactly, him along with Chris Dodd, Franklin Raines and there's a few more. No doubt Rahm Emanuel had a hand in it.

This will get as far as the mainstream (aka leftist) press allows it to.

Folks, this is *not* "Watergate". No one was killed as a result of Watergate, unlike F&F.

Exactly, unfortunately I do not see this being brought to justice
