Fast and Furious is getting some serious traction now. It’s about time. Obama and his cronies should be impeached for this. If a civilian had done any of this, they would be prosecuted for accessory to murder at a minimum. High crimes and misdemeanors, yeah, they pretty much did exactly that.
The central characters in the failed “Fast and Furious” firearms investigation were 19 men and one woman, all legal residents of the U.S., accused of laying down hundreds of thousands of dollars in illicit cash at Phoenix-area gun shops to buy an arsenal of high-powered weapons for Mexican drug smugglers.Between September 2009 and December 2010, congressional investigators said, they purchased or aided in the purchase of more than 2,000 AK-47 assault weapons, Barrett .50-caliber sniper rifles, FN 5.7mm semi-automatic pistols and other assorted rifles, shotguns and handguns that later were “walked” into Mexico. About half the weapons remain unaccounted for.They paid cash, as much as $900,000, and with each purchase they signed their names on Form 4473, a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives ATF document, swearing under the threat of committing a felony that they were not purchasing the weapons for someone else — that they were not “straw buyers.”But they were, and the ATF knew it.
