The violent legacy of a secret government operation lives on. Full Measure has learned that another weapon from Operation Fast and Furious has been found in the hands of violent armed groups in Mexico.
Fast and Furious was one of numerous secret "gunwalking" cases launched by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms a decade ago. They allowed thousands of assault rifles and other weapons to be trafficked to Mexican drug cartels.
The latest weapon a semi-automatic rifle was recovered after a gunfight in June. It was trafficked to the cartels in 2009 by Fast and Furious suspect Sean Steward. Federal agents Brian Terry and Jaime Zapata were murdered by Mexican cartel thugs who used weapons trafficked in the gunwalking cases The U.S. has refused to provide an accounting of all the crimes committed with the walked guns. Based on various sources, I've found at least 69 deaths and four kidnappings.
In 2012, Attorney General Eric Holder was held in contempt of Congress for withholding Fast and Furious documents. President Obama declared executive privilege to keep the documents secret.

Just for info, theBush era plan/program was completely different than the Obama plan/program.
During the Bush era program eyes were kept on each gun by the atf thru helos and tails. None of those were lost iirc.

Holder and Obama have that blood on their hands and should be held accountable but as usual the spineless limpwristed wussy no-ball Repubs won't do a damn thing.

Exactly. The media and the liberals try to conflate the two so they can say Obama did exactly what Bush did. No different than Hillary with her private email server where they say many officials have private email addresses or "we are a nation of immigrants".
The bad news is that too many uneducated people react with emotions and don't bother to think so they believe this crap.

The report finds that gunwalking operations originated as early as 2006 as agents in the Phoenix Field Division of ATF devised a strategy to forgo arrests against low-level straw purchasers while they attempted to build bigger cases against higher-level trafficking organizers and financiers. Rather than halting operations after flaws became evident, they launched several similarly reckless operations over the course of several years, also with tragic results. Each investigation involved various incarnations of the same activity: agents were contemporaneously aware of illegal firearms purchases, they did not typically interdict weapons or arrest straw purchasers, and firearms ended up in the hands of criminals on both sides of the border.
Operation Wide receiver (2006-2007)
In 2006, ATF agents in Phoenix initiated Operation Wide Receiver with the cooperation of a local gun dealer. For months, ATF agents watched in realtime as traffickers purchased guns and drove them across the border into Mexico. According to William Newell, the Special Agent in Charge of the Phoenix Field Division, these suspects told the gun dealer that the “firearms are going to his boss in Tijuana, Mexico where some are given out as gifts.” Although ATF officials believed they had sufficient evidence to arrest and charge these suspects, they instead continued surveillance to identify additional charges. As one agent said at the time, “we want it all.”
