Senior Official In Justice Department Implicated In Gun-Running Scandal

Posted by Brian
Were Eric Holder and Obama attempting to use the Justice Department as a tool to undermine the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution?  Remember, under Alinski's rules, if you don't have a crisis - create one as a means to further your agenda.  In this case, to create an uproar over the ease at which people, even illegal aliens, can purchase firearms, and even take them to the drug cartels in Mexico. Use the ensuing outrage as a means to outlaw, or at least severly limit, access to and purchasing of firearms by citizens (the militia).
Early accounts are that this scandal reaches at least into the upper parts of the DOJ.  Did anyone in the White House know about the program? If so, who knew and when did they know it?

“Fast and Furious” Blows Sky-High
This morning, there was a stunning development in Congress’s investigation of the Justice Department’s “Fast and Furious” gun-running program: it was revealed that on July 4, Kenneth Melson, the acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and the Obama administration’s intended fall guy in the scandal, broke ranks with his superiors. Without their knowledge, he gave an interview to Darrell Issa’s House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, accompanied only by his personal attorney. While a transcript of that interview is not yet public, it is clear that he blew the whistle on senior officials in the Justice Department.
This morning, Issa and Senator Charles Grassley released a letter that they sent yesterday to Attorney General Eric Holder. It is explosive, to say the least. You should read it in its entirety; here are some excerpts:
