“At no time in our strategy was it to allow guns to be taken to Mexico,” Newell said.This goes to the top.
Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R.-Utah) challenged Newell’s contention and read a January 2010 briefing from Newell’s office that said, "Currently our strategy is to allow the transfer of firearms to continue to take place” for the purpose of furthering “the investigation and allow for the identification of additional co-conspirators who would continue to operate and illegally traffic firearms to Mexican [drug traffickers]."
“You facilitated it, you allowed it,” Chaffetz said.
The ill-advised scheme began in 2009 as an effort to crack down on gun smugglers running arms across the border, but resulted in the transfer of thousands of weapons to Mexican drug cartel thugs and used to kill agent Brian Terry.
“It seems like you knowingly allowed weapons to get out of your control,” Issa said. “Now you are telling us you don’t let guns walk. I’ve got to tell you … someone knowingly let guns walk.”
Members on both sides of the aisle lost patience with Newell, whom Issa called a “paid non-answerer” for the Obama administration, after Newell stalled, evaded and deflected questions throughout the five-hour hearing.
As bad as it is, it doesn't compare to Obama not having a legal SS Number, no valid released Birth Certificate in HI, and the Courts covering for him for at least 3 years.
This illustrates the corruption that exists in all aspects of our government.
Scary with already two illegal Obama hacks on the Supreme Court.
