OBAMA REGIME PROMOTES CRIMINALS

Of course this is not a surprise to those of us who have been monitoring this regime's every move, as they reward their union buddies, greasy business homeys, their donors, etc, so it should not be a shocker that the guys responsible for Operation Fast and Furious, which got an American murdered with a firearm they sold to the drug cartels, GOT PROMOTED! Let the Gunny take a wild guess here. They kept their mouths shut, did not drag Holder and Obama into it, and got nice promotions out of the deal. Ah, Democrats...

EXCERPT:  "The ATF has promoted three key supervisors of a controversial sting operation that allowed firearms to be illegally trafficked across the U.S. border into Mexico. All three have been heavily criticized for pushing the program forward even as it became apparent that it was out of control. At least 2,000 guns were lost and many turned up at crime scenes in Mexico and two at the killing of a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Arizona. The three supervisors have been given new management positions at the agency's headquarters in Washington. They are William G. McMahon, who was the ATF's deputy director of operations in the West, where the illegal trafficking program was focused, and William D. Newell and David Voth, both field supervisors who oversaw the program out of the agency's Phoenix office."

The ATF seriously needs to be investigated, people jailed, and the agency disbanded. In the past, they have lost automatic weapons, laptops with government data on them, impeded legitimate businesses, and interfered with the Second Amendment over and over.

Here is a link for the paper trail for Operation fast and Furious.

The LA Times should be applauded for following this treasonous affair that goes all of the way up to Holder and Obama.

Also:

"Newell was the special agent in charge of the field office for Arizona and New Mexico, where Fast and Furious was conducted. On Aug. 1, the ATF announced he would become special assistant to the assistant director of the agency's Office of Management in Washington."

and

"Newell spent a decade on the border. As Operation Fast and Furious was unraveling, he insisted that his agents never allowed guns to "walk."

A bold-faced lie which results in a promotion. Only in this regime fellow patriots. What is a TOTAL slap-in-the-face for Americans is that McMahon was promoted to Deputy Assistant Director of the ATF's Office of Professional Responsibility and Security Operations. In case you did not know, that is the the division that investigates misconduct by employees and other problems in the agency. Kinda like putting Rangel or BJ Bubba Clinton in charge of ethics in Congress!

Darrell Issa would be better served by hiring a massive amount of independent investigators to turn the ATF upside-down and put all responsible on trial. If Obama and Holder where WHITE, they'd already be impeached over this. Too bad Congress is gutless.
