"Breaking: new evidence shows Hillary a mastermind behind Gunwalker

I don't understand what all the commotion is about. Small arms manufacturing creates a lot of jobs in the USA. When the DEA moves into a foreign country, small arms and ammunition exports go up, which is very positive for job creation. In addition to increased small arms exports, the increase in drug trafficking that accompanies DEA interventions also eventually destabilizes the target country, opening the door for favourable foreign policy towards the USA.

Breaking: new evidence shows Hillary a mastermind behind Gunwalker

Interesting if true. We know that F&F must have been approved from the very highest levels; otherwise somebody would have been fired and indicted already for its failure. Andy McCarthy has a long article in NRO explaining that F&F was a DOJ OCDETF program from Jan 2010 on, which meant that it was funded and managed out of DOJ.

One more piece of evidence: the list of MSM stories in 2009 pushing the 90% of guns in Mexico meme; there was a whole series in the NYT on it.

I'm still trying to figure out the dog that isn't barking: Mexico. We sent over 2,000 heavy assault weapons to the drug cartels in Mexico; the uptick in carnage has been horrific. Why aren't the Mexican politicians going ballistic over this? What did Obama promise them?

I suspect he promised them open borders. They need the safety valve.
