Kurt Hofmann on the Billion Dollar Question.


I am going to follow a line of questioning I think I have been seeing develop throughout here with law enforcement experts. You have two points, you know the old expression, you connect the dots. The first point is the straw buyer; the last point is the scene of the crime. You've said, each of you, Special Agents, that in this case, as soon as you got to the next point of connect the dots, you were generally sent the other direction. You were not allowed to go beyond that next point. You weren't even allowed to follow that next point, even when they headed north with the weapons.

Now, if an operation like Fast and Furious seems to have a pattern, a consistent pattern, that you're only looking for two points--the beginning and the end--it's not a criminal prosecution. It's not an effective one. Plus, of course, if you take the logic that you can't prosecute a straw purchaser if the gun is in Mexico, if you take that point, then that part of it was frivolous from the start, even though today, every one of those straw purchasers has been charged, oddly enough, with the evidence that was available before that gun ever walked beyond the first step.

So let me just ask a question for your supposition, but I think it's a very well educated one. If you only look at the beginning and the end of the dot, isn't the only thing you've proven is that guns in America go to Mexico? Now could that be a political decision? Could that be a decision that basically, we just want to substantiate that guns in America go to Mexico--something we all knew, but would have considerable political impact, as Mexico began complaining about these, and they could say, "Well, yeah--we're even rolling up the straw purchasers." It wouldn't change the fact that Mexicans were dying at the bequest of the United States, but wouldn't it ultimately meet a political goal?

"Issa asks THE question at 'gunwalker' hearing; anti-gunners scramble for excuses."

The atrocity that is "Project Gunwalker" stems not from a lack of leadership within the BATFE, but from a lack of scruples and decency in the leadership above the BATFE. Now we need to find out just how high above.

Mike, this Ann Barnhardt post is worth your time:

scroll down if necessary.

"On Gunwalker - The Ultimate False Flag Operation"

Money quote, IMO:

"The Obama regime is its own non-American Marxist entity that is in a state of war against the United States, its constitution, its economy and its people. This is the mother of all false flag operations, and Gunwalker is just one facet of that operation."

She also links the Bob Owens op-ed at PJM - it's not completely accurate, but still worthwhile.

All the way up to the White House Residence. No, Sasha, Melia and the dog are not culpable, nor the maids or cooks.

If Barry and Michelle wish to not be prosecuted fully for their crimes, perhaps there is a deal to be made if they roll on their Controllers. They are young enough that they could enjoy their 70's as free persons.

cheers.

The real billion dollar questrion is whether Issa will play this one to the end. I think he has the evidence, the brains and the backbone - if he wants to use them. this may be the way to get rid of Obama. I just hope he doesn't back down.

I'd have a lot more respect for him if he wasn't beating around the bush...

Why not just SPIT IT OUT!

"How -- EXACTLY -- was this op supposed to result in rolling up the cartel if you can't prosecute people in Mexico, and you can't prosecute the straw-buyer once the gun is in Mexico?

From where I'm sitting, it looks like the whole thing was DESIGNED in such a way as to be sure there couldn't BE any arrests or convictions of anyone involved!

Sounds to me like your whole story is a lie -- and the only LOGICAL conclusion is that this was intended from the very beginning to provide the justification for further abrogation of the rights of American Citizens!"


We all know what he MEANT, but the average sheeple won't connect the dots -- and Issa's got to know that!

Yeah, well, it's just a bunch of Mexicans, getting killed, who cares?? No racism from the obongo admin., huh? But I forgot. We "Bitter Clingers" are the racists, right???? The blood is on ogongos' hands, as well as the rest.
