By whom and why were these orders given? (Here’s a backup CBS report.)
Note the threat issued to Agent Dodson – that he may end up serving lunches to inmates at the Maricopa county jail.
Remember; regarding the “why”, … this was at the height of the accusations that it was profiteering by Americans, using the 2nd Amendment as cover to make money which was the problem, … but was it?
Instead, it looks as if this “violation of trust” was to be used to build a case whose intent it was to scuttle the part of the Constitution which has allowed the American public to arm themselves.
It is written into our founding father’s documents that Americans must be able to prevent a despotic government from destroying the freedom of the people and that the first step always (in retrospect) seems to have been a disarming of the public!
That is the underlying cause of Fast & Furious! And with that said, if this is correct, then it is the current administration who is to be feared and despised!
There are courageous people who need to be supported; there are slimeballs in charge, who not only need to be in jail, but consider, what could their motivation be …. other than to subvert the Constitution which they swore to uphold?
Good post, there is no doubt in my mind that this was going to be used to begin disarming the American people. The official story makes no sense; why give weapons to known drug lords if you already know who and where these people are? The government was not going to get any additional information from this program and they didn’t track the weapons because they wanted them to turn up at crime scenes.
