(CNSNews.com) - The report on Operation Fast and Furious released today by the Justice Department's Office of Inspector General says a member of the White House National Security staff declined to be interviewed for the inspector general's investigation and that the White House itself did not produce internal documents for the investigation because the White House said it was "beyond the purview" of the inspector general.
The report said that gun traffickers purchased more than 2,000 weapons during Fast and Furious and that U.S. law enforcement officers eventually only recovered about 100 of these because "of a strategy jointly pursued by ATF and the U.S. Attorney's Office that deferred taking overt enforcement action against the individual straw purchasers while seeking to build a case against the leaders of the organization."

Quoted Text

An investigation by an independent arm of the Department of Justice concluded on Wednesday
that Attorney General Eric Holder had no knowledge about a series of botched gun stings, which began
in 2006 under George W. Bush — until the operation’s flaws became public in January 2011.

The 471-page Inspector General’s report on “Operation Fast and Furious” discredits sharp allegations
by Republicans in Congress who launched a witch hunt against Holder, subjecting him to hours of
interrogation to float conspiracy theories, alleging repeatedly that the Obama administration was
using the high-profile gun violence from the operation to garner support for gun regulation, and finding
Holder in contempt of Congress.

The report debunks suggestions that Holder attempted to mislead Congress or cover up information,
and confirms Holder’s own account of the operation: that it employed “flawed strategy and tactics,”
but that Holder did not know about or authorize those tactics.

The report does hold several lower-level officials responsible for their role in what it calls a ”pattern
of serious failures,” and refers 14 DOJ employees for possible discipline.

If the second in charge, the one who just retired, knew about Fast and Furious you expect us to believe that Holder and the President didn't know. That would mean either Holder and Obama are lying or incompetent take your pic.

Box you were in the military and are well aware of the chain of command, underlings don't
do things without permission from their superiors, some of us were born at night but it wasn't last
night.

Quoted from Shadow

Reagan knew what was happening with arms being sold, Bush administration saw flaws in the gun walking program and discontinued the program. There wasn't enough evidence to tie Reagan to the scandal. Ever heard the phrase from the movie Independence Day plausable deniability, don't leave anything in writing that could tie you to something illegal, or hide the evidence with executive protection. Nixon tried that too but the truth finally came out.
