Deadly ATF Fast And Furious Game Of Catch And Release news.investors.com Scandal: A prime suspect in the smuggling of weapons to Mexico was captured and released on a promise of cooperation and with the instruction not to engage in criminal acts unless instructed by the U.S. government. If the purpose of Fast and Furious, the gun-running operation directed out of the Phoenix office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was to track and capture those involved in smuggling illegal firearms to Mexico, it seemingly succeeded with the May 29, 2010, capture of Manuel Fabian Celis-Acosta as he drove his BMW in a remote area of Arizona near the Mexican border. Documents obtained by the Los Angeles Times show that Acosta was found with 74 rounds of ammunition and nine cellphones in his car as he headed south through the border town of Lukeville, Ariz. An ATF "Report of Investigation" shows Border Patrol agents stopped Acosta's truck and found illegal materials including an "AK-type, high-capacity drum magazine loaded with 74 rounds of 7.62 ammunition underneath the spare tire." They also noted ledgers including a "list of firearms such as an AR15 short and a Bushmaster" and a "reference about money given to 'killer.'" The Times notes that Acosta was the "main target" in Fast and Furious, according to internal ATF documents, so his capture was a big deal. Acosta was the string that, if pulled, could have unraveled a significant portion of the drug- and gun-smuggling operations of the Mexican cartels. Under questioning, Acosta said he was on his way to a birthday party of a close associate, "Chendi," whom he described as "a Mexican cartel member" and "right-hand man" to Joaquin "Chapo" Guzman, head of the Sinaloa cartel. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry was killed in December 2010, a scant seven months later, at the hands of an illegal alien working for the Sinaloa Cartel just 10 miles from the Mexico border near Nogales, Ariz. Two AK-47 assault rifles found at the site of the Terry shooting were traced back to a straw buyer allowed to smuggle guns into Mexico with the blessing of ATF and DOJ. According to the Times report, Celis-Acosta said Chendi, whose real name was Claudio Jamie Badilla, moved 6,000 pounds of marijuana a week into the U.S., terrorized Mexican police, wore a $15,000 wristwatch and lived in a home with "a lot of gold" inside and a landing strip outside. So what did ATF do with this prize catch? The top Fast and Furious investigator, Special Agent Hope MacAllister, was called in and found Acosta to be very cooperative. ATF could have kept Acosta under lock and key, squeezed him for still more information, even made a deal. Instead, they just let him go. In perhaps one of the dumbest moves ever by law enforcement, MacAllister wrote her contact info on a $10 bill after he pledged to keep in touch and call her, gave it to Acosta and let him walk. The best part is her warning "not to participate in any illegal activity unless under her direction." Say what? The ATF was directing illegal activities? We are shocked. We have argued that the entire Fast and Furious operation was an illegal activity designed to facilitate gun violence for which access to U.S. weapons would be blamed as part of the administration's ongoing assault on the Second Amendment's right to bear arms and its gun-control agenda. Acosta was recaptured in February 2011, eight months later and a month after Fast and Furious had officially ended with the carnage it left in its wake. Instead of capitalizing on Acosta's arrest, we took the word of a smuggler who dealt with drugs and "cop-killer" weapons. ATF, the Department of Justice and Attorney General Eric Holder have the blood of hundreds, including agent Brian Terry, on their hands. Yet no one has been fired, impeached or incarcerated for his or her role in this fiasco. That needs to change.

Holder thinks solicitation of kidnapping may or may not be a crime ... it depends on the color of the skin of those doing the solicitating: Holder Charges Kidnapping Solicitation of White Supremacist, Not New Black Panthers March 30, 2012 - 10:47 am - by J. Christian Adams pjmedia.com[/url] Here we go again. Eric Holder’s Justice Department last month oversaw a guilty plea for solicitation of kidnapping, a federal offense. Jayen Patel entered a plea in New Jersey for soliciting a purported white supremacist (actually an FBI agent acting as a white supremacist) to conduct a kidnapping. I wrote earlier this week and appeared on Fox News to say that solicitation of kidnapping is a federal crime. The New Black Panther Party has put a bounty out on George Zimmerman being taken “dead or alive.” From Eric Holder, crickets. The bounty posters, incidentally, changed from the original posters which plainly stated “dead or alive.” This is standard procedure for the New Black Panthers. Even the toned-down poster has been removed from the New Black Panther website. The panthers tone down their language after first stoking up the mob, which is the real mission. Once the public at large learns of their behavior, they get more civilized. [ Wait, what if the New Black Panther's solicit a white supremacist to kidnap George Zimmerman? Would Holder think that was a crime? ] Changing an outrageous public statement after the fact of the Philadelphia voter intimidation was incredibly persuasive to the attorneys in Holder’s Justice Department. Will Eric Holder at last open an investigation into the criminal conduct of the New Black Panthers? Will there be arrests like in the Jayen Patel case? It sure would be a way to put an end to the New Black Panther albatross that hangs around Eric Holder’s neck, and will through November. And it will be a much heavier albatross with the events in Sanford.

Leak At Department Of Justice Pulls White House Deeper Into Fast And Furious April 4, 2012 By Doug Book westernjournalism.com Last month, FOX News reported that someone at Eric Holder’s Department of Justice has been leaking information to Congressional committees about the Obama Regime’s Mexican gunwalking enterprise Fast and Furious. ATF Investigation Reports (ROI’s) that reached the offices of Senator Charles Grassley and Congressman Darrell Issa revealed gun runners and drug dealers to be secretly in the employment of the FBI. And a Mexican illegal, already wanted on weapons charges, was shown to have been turned loose by a remarkably accommodating ATF agent. And now something new has been added to the mix. On March 28th, Senator Grassley wrote Kathryn Ruemmler, Barack Obama’s chief Counsel, to inform her that Congressional committees investigating Fast and Furious wanted to question Kevin O’Reilly, a former National Security Adviser to the President. O’Reilly’s relationship to Fast and Furious first surfaced last year. Former Phoenix ATF office Agent in Charge Bill Newell admitted under questioning before Darrell Issa’s House Government Affairs Committee that he had exchanged a number of e-mails with O’Reilly at the White House concerning gunrunning operations at the Arizona border. The White House later released a carefully selected few of those e-mails intending to prove that, as Fast and Furious was not mentioned by name, the White House knew nothing of and had no part in the scheme. But such were not the conclusions drawn by Issa or Grassley. “You didn’t get these from me” Newell prefaced one of his e-mails to O’Reilly as he laid out details of ATF plans for an upcoming press conference on border gunrunning. Questioned by committee members as to the reason for such a cryptic warning, Newell refused to answer, ultimately stammering it meant nothing and perhaps shouldn’t have been stated at all. Yet the White House still refuses to allow Kevin O’Reilly to be questioned by Congress. In fact, shortly after Newell admitted the ongoing correspondence, O’Reilly was shipped off to Iraq on “special assignment.” In his e-mail responses, O’Reilly was very interested in what Newell told him of ATF operations and guns crossing the Mexican border. He asked questions and clearly wanted additional information on Newell’s progress. Was O’Reilly the White House point man, entrusted with gathering intelligence on the day to day goings on in the gunwalking scheme? Clearly if the White House needed a “back door channel” for obtaining information on the progress of Fast and Furious, an e-mail exchange between “old friends” would provide excellent cover. And was O’Reilly suddenly sent thousands of miles from any potential congressional subpoena because Newell’s admission before the Issa committee had revealed not only a key Administration method of transferring information, but also the keen interest of Barack Obama in the progress of his “under the radar” scheme? Most important perhaps is the increasing value of the DOJ leak, for congressional investigators obviously received new information which prompted this sudden rebirth of interest in testimony from Kevin O’Reilly. After all, ten months had passed since O’Reilly’s name was first mentioned, yet now a letter appears from the offices of Grassley and Issa revealing a sudden and eager interest in his testimony! This can only mean that the DOJ leak is causing real problems for Obama and Eric Holder, making it ever more difficult to keep the lid on their deadly, Fast and Furious plot to undermine the Second Amendment. Will Republican leaders have the courage and will to take advantage of it?
