The Obama
Administration has given Americans lies and more lies. I suppose they think they can hide the truth
if they lie about it enough times. They
apparently believe as Adolph Hitler: if
you tell a big enough lie, people will be convinced.
Years after the U.S. Government
lost hundreds of guns in the Fast and Furious scandal, information continues to
come out. The first clue that the guns were
being used by drug cartels was when one of the guns was found near the body of Border
Patrol Agent Brian Terry, who was murdered on the U.S.-Mexico border. Attorney General Eric Holder failed to reveal
information about the operation to Congress and was held in contempt of
Congress – the first Attorney General to receive this dubious honor.
Apparently, another gun lost
under Fast and Furious was involved in yet another crime. House Oversight Committee Darrell Issa
(R-Calif.) and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) recently charged that the Justice
Department is covering up this crime.
Issa and Grassley sent a letter
to Deputy Attorney General Eric Cole that Judicial Watch obtained public
records showing “that law enforcement officials recovered a Fast and Furious
gun last summer in connection with a shooting that left two individuals wounded.” Their letter explained that Sean
Steward bought 40 guns under the watchful eye of the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. They
reported that only eight of the guns were recovered by the ATF. There seems to be evidence that one of the
lost guns was used in the shooting.
The two Congressmen wrote that
they could confirm the assault rifle recovered on July 30, 2013, was purchased
by Sean Christopher Steward because they have the serial number from the police
report. They added that the Justice
Department did not reveal anything and failed to notify Congress. Without the documents from Judicial Watch,
none of the information would have come to light.
“Unless the information becomes
available some other way, the public would never know…. This lack of
transparency about the consequences of Fast and Furious undermines public
confidence in law enforcement and gives the impression that the Department is
still seeking to suppress information and limit its exposure to public
scrutiny.”
The Congressmen asked the
Justice Department for more information about Fast and Furious even though the
DOJ has not presented the information asked for in 2012 and 2013. They want to know if the rifle has been used
in any other crimes as well as how many other weapons from Fast and Furious
were used in other violent incidents. Congress
continues to ask questions without getting any answers from the DOJ. No matter, the truth will eventually come out
as long as we have leaders and other Americans who are willing to fight the
fight.
Truth continues to come out
about several scandals involving officials from the Obama Administration and
the Clinton Administration: Benghazi,
Whitewater, the IRS targeting conservatives, etc. If we have enough time, we may get to the
bottom of all the scandals!
