Issa staffer: Gunrunner investigation points much higher than ATF director
A spokesman for House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa told The Daily Caller the congressman expects his investigations into the Justice Department’s gun walking programs to point to a much higher political appointee than acting ATF director Kenneth Melson.

Melson is widely expected to resign some time in the next couple of days in the face of political pressure from Issa’s investigations into Project Gunrunner and Operation Fast Furious.

Even if Melson resigns, Issa spokesman Frederick Hill said the Committee expects to find much more and continue with investigations.

“The investigations are far from over,” Hill told TheDC. “It’s quite certain that Kenneth Melson was not the principal architect of this plan nor was he the only high-ranking official who knew about and authorized this operation.” (WHAT DID THEY KNOW? Top two ATF officials ‘briefed weekly’ on ‘Fast and Furious’)

Project Gunrunner and Operation Fast and Furious were programs that involved ATF officials allowing guns to be taken into Mexico with the ultimate apparent goal of tracking the larger Mexican drug cartels’ arms market.

I'd like them to keep investigating but will it get any airplay? 

[twyacht]

Melson will be thrown under the bus,.....than the spindoctors will play to the oblivious, uninformed, and indifferent masses...."Nothing to see here folks,....move along...."""

Meanwhile, keep watch for the other hand. It went straight to the top within the DOJ, (AG Holder),....who doesn't wipe his *** without BHO keeping in the know,...

But it's plausible deniability to protect the Anointed One. The big picture of Fast & Furious was meant to get some form of public outcry for 2nd Amend. reform against evil "military/assault" rifles...

They are dirty, low down, back stabbing, anti gun folks with an agenda. They have not stopped, they will not stop, and sadly there are many within our gov't that encourage it to continue.

I'm stunned Rebeca Peters, formerly of IANSA, hasn't been given a regulatory Czar position with this admin.

Oh, wait, ....just a Hezbollah sympathizer for the chair of American/Islamic relations,....

sorry,...

In my perfect world, here's how it would play out:

- Anybody who touched this and DIDN'T say anything would be fired without benefits, extradited to Mexico, and permanently barred from federal service.
- The whistleblower would be the new head of the ATF.

No offense to you Ichi, but WHY should I care what a comedian / entertainer / loudmouth says about it?

If you are so upset by him then don't click the link.  Even though I disagree with him on almost everything, I do find him humorous.  YMMV. 

I also thought it of note that 1.) such a left wing tool even addressed it, and 2.) he did not attack gun laws but the idiocy of the F&F program.
