The Obama Administration's inside man in the Terry family.

Family of slain agent: Prosecute gun runners, not ATF officials

The family of a slain federal agent is pushing for the government to indict and prosecute all the criminals involved in trafficking and using the guns involved in his death.

Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry’s cousin, Robert Heyer, told The Hill in an interview that the family is not calling for the criminal prosecution of the federal officials, agents and officers who might have been involved in the Fast and Furious operation.


What Jordy Yager fails to mention is that Robert Heyer is a current-serving Secret Service agent and his job is dependent upon making his bosses happy. Which makes you wonder about the timing of this story as well.

Well shall we start the prosecution with gunrunner Obama or Holder?

I thought he said at the hearing that the family wanted all responsible persons brought to trial on this. I took this to mean the ATF people responsible for the operation along with the ones who actually did the shooting. I wonder why the change.

At the hearing, Heyer testified that the family wanted to see government officials held accountable for authorizing the operation that might have contributed to his cousin’s death.

“We ask that if a government official made a wrong decision, that they admit their error and take responsibility for his or her actions,” said Heyer at the hearing.

“We hope that all individuals involved in Brian’s murder and those that played a role in putting assault weapons in their hands are found and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.”

So the family wants everyone involved held accountable. Seems pretty straight forward to me.

Of course then he changes what the family wants.

But in an interview, Heyer clarified that Terry’s family was not trying to imply that it was calling for the prosecution of government officials involved in the operation, though he said he could understand how that could be inferred from his earlier statement. Instead, the family would like to see the government officials who authorized the operation take responsibility for their decisions.

They will, just as soon as they are prosecuted and lock away. Including that asshat Holder. I hope he gets a cell with some Bubba that thinks the DOJ wronged him.

Far too many 'turds' are floating in DC pool. They're starting to really stink up the place and need to be flushed, ASAP.

The old saying that blood is thicker than water evidently does not apply in this case.
