Was just listening to part of this on C-Span. What I heard doesn’t sound good for those that instigated this. Prollem is, finding out who that is tho’.
Again; this has to have been an Obama/Alinski style attempt to impugn American gun rights while inflating the importance (and funding) of the BATFE. Obama is on record telling frustrated anti gun rights folks that he would be working for them “under the radar”.
If they can “track” guns in Mexico, they must have contacts inside the country. If they have contacts inside Mexico capable of tracking guns used by drug cartels, they don’t need guns purchased in the U.S. to do it. Therefore this MUST have been an attempt to pin blame on American gun dealers – something they and the anti rights organizations were already trying, unsuccessfully, for a long time leading up to this scandal (if they cannot track guns inside Mexico, this whole thing was a farce anyway, and this MUST therefore have been an attempt to pin blame on American gun dealers).
They must have had collusion from inside Mexico (with gangsters) to pull this off, and that has all sorts of nasty implications.
War On Drugs + BATFE working with anti rights organizations = U.S. federal government becoming an active part of the international criminal network.
It’s a foregone conclusion, but that’s a subject for another post.
Even when BATFE does something sort-of correct, it ends up making a mess. Some Congresscritters are still saying 90percent of guns in Mexico are from the US even though BATFE carefully/belatedly/in-small-print said that that was the percentage of weapons the Mexican government sent as suspected US origin AND was less than 10percent of illegal firearms taken by the Mexican government.
There was an Oct. 2009 meeting attended by FBI director & other high ups from other alphabet agencies w/ATFE about Gunwalker. They all knew. They all participated in some form.
“If they can “track” guns in Mexico, they must have contacts inside the country.”
Yes. They’re called the Mexican cops. And US law-enforcement liaison officers. When they find obviously U.S.-sourced guns during a bust, they send the S/N’s to BATFE to run a standard trace the way they do with any guns found at a crime scene in the US.
This doesn’t take any James Bond skullduggery to accomplish.

And since he knew, did he pass the info up to Holder, and beyond?

I don’t care how thoroughly they prove it was done, and who dunnit. Nothing’s going happen to them, and they’ll end up blaming us.
