Fearlessly distributing machine guns. Dead Elephants whine but DO NOTHING.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports:
Leads on gun stolen from ATF storefront in Milwaukee fizzled out; Questions continue about Fearless Distributing sting
Hours after a machine gun was stolen from an ATF agent's vehicle in September, police had four men in custody - one who admitted holding the fully automatic weapon before his friend took it back and stashed it under a bed in a north side house.
But as police and federal agents fanned out searching houses and interviewing family members, friends and girlfriends, the gun vanished.
More than six months later, the rifle and another gun stolen along with it remain missing.
And despite a newly filed search warrant detailing a text message that may link one of the original suspects to the theft, nobody has been charged with the crime.
Of all the mistakes by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in its flawed gun-buying sting in Milwaukee last year, the loss of the government-owned Colt M4 stands as the gravest threat to public safety.
"Everyone is on pins and needles every day that this gun is going to be used out there," said a police officer familiar with the investigation, who asked not to be identified.
Meanwhile, the JS also reports: Congressmen again seek answers on Fearless Distributing gun sting; ATF remaining silent on botched Milwaukee operation
A group of powerful members of Congress wrote another letter Wednesday to the head of the ATF demanding accountability for a botched undercover sting in Milwaukee last year.
Saying the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has "refused to respond at all" to their request in January for information about the operation, the legislators from the House and Senate have now given the agency until April 10 to reply.
Issa can call a general ATF oversight hearing any time, just like he promised the Fast & Furious whistleblowers YEARS AGO. But he won't. And he WONDERS WHY THE ATF MANAGEMENT FEELS THAT THEY CAN STIFF HIM AND THE REST OF HIS SPINELESS DEAD ELEPHANT PARTY COWARDS?!? One wonders why he wonders.

Mr. Issa is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mr. Boner.
This explains a very great deal. It also lets us know very clearly that Mr. Issa, is a first class liar.
But what the hell, it got everybody past the national election and our favorite Marxist is still President, so it's all good, right!
Gee, when will the BATFEces come and have a sting op in MY neighborhood? I need a resupply of weapons and ammo.

Judging by Congress' lack of push on issues like F&F, Obamas' eligibility, etc, it looks like the 900 dossiers that the Clintons had in the WH have been passed on to team Obama.Of course that would make Congress a dog and pony show on every issue.Did I say that?
"North side," used as a geographic location in the Journal Sentinel story, is a local term of art for where blacks live.

Hey, Republicans (who control the House): you want answers from ATF? Here's how you get them: cut their funding to zero in the next budget, then offer to 'negotiate' an uplift if answers are forthcoming RFN.
After getting the answers you want (sworn, naturally, so it's perjury if they lie) you can 'uplift' their budget to a dollar-thirty-nine.
(Yes, I know I'm dreaming. Anybody here who thinks we need to support the GOP because they're SOOOO much better than the Dems?)
