Re: Fast and Furious back in the News at least at Fox
Jazy the funny part is that some of those components are in fact legal in the US to own, but none of them are legal to export without a license. Some of them per the description in the stories at the time were just flat illegal.
They let 2,000 guns go across the border on the completely improbable notion that somehow, with no prior plan, they'd just magically be able to track the guns to criminals. Then they let this human being go on exactly the same premise, that as long as he agreed to help and they turned him lose in Sinaloa they'd somehow be able to hold him to the deal.
They would have us believe that senior ATF agents and DOJ prosecutors are the intellectual equivalent of Elmer Fudd being played by Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck about whether it's duck or rabbit season. I find that hard to believe.
This guy was a known trafficker even at the time he was detained at the border. I get that a prosecutor has to asses chance of winning a trial, but to let him walk and not even try to plea bargain the guy of the streets? Maybe it was all just incompetence, but if so it was at epic levels. Too epic for me to believe.
