So Obama did not know anything about this, but he signed
$10,000,000 in funding for the program. This thing would stink on a dung pile.
It is time for indictments.
First he tried to pass H.R.495 Southwest Border Violence Reduction Act of 2009 Read the Bill Click Here asking for 15,000,000 for Project Gunrunner.But it never made it out of committee.
So he rolled into the stimulus package a month later.H.R.1 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 For an additional amount for State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance, $40,000,000, for competitive grants to provide assistance and equipment to local law enforcement along the Southern border.
$10,000,000 shall be transferred to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Salaries and Expenses for the ATF Project Gunrunner. What does $10 million pay for here? Read this Bill Click Here

Obama and Holder Remember This ?? |
How could this be
if President Obama and AG Holder are telling the truth when they say they knew
little or anything about the operation? All these agencies and U.S. dollars involved and the White House knew nothing? "The evidence gathered raises the disturbing possibility that the Justice Department not only allowed criminals to smuggle weapons but that taxpayer dollars from other agencies may have financed those engaging in those activities," Issa and Grassley wrote. We would like to see Eric Holder and Ken Melson testify side by side to answer these and one other important question: What did the president know and when did he know it |
It is time to demand it be investigated
Unwilling to be
made a scapegoat in the affair, which resulted in the death of Border Patrol
agent Brian Terry using one of the trafficked guns, Melson, acting ATF director
since April 2009, testified behind closed doors on Monday before two
congressional oversight committees. He appeared with his own private attorney,
rather than lawyers from the Department of Justice. His explosive testimony
needs to be heard loudly and publicly.
ABC News reports that Melson wanted to appear before oversight committees earlier, but Eric Holders Justice Department sought to delay his testimony. Pressured to resign and unwilling to take the fall, Melson seized the opportunity to tell his story. "If his account is accurate, then ATF leadership appears to have been effectively muzzled while the DOJ sent over false denials and buried its head in the sand," the letter said. "That approach distorted the truth and obstructed our investigation." Among the things that made Melson ill was the discovery of the activities of other agencies such as the Drug Enforcement Administration and the FBI, perhaps even the U.S. Attorneys Office and the Department of Homeland Security. Learning not only that guns were allowed to "walk" into Mexico after being bought by straw purchasers acting on behalf of criminals, but also that the purchases may have been financed with taxpayer dollars is enough to make anyone queasy. That Holders DOJ would lie to Congress and hide what it knew and when it knew it is, well, absolutely criminal. At an oversight hearing last month, three federal firearms investigators testified that they wanted to "intervene and interdict" the guns at the border, but were repeatedly ordered to step aside and let the traffickers proceed. "Allowing loads of weapons that we knew to be destined for criminals this was the plan," John Dodson, an ATF agent, told the panel. "It was so mandated." Agent Olindo James Casa said that "on several occasions I personally requested to interdict or seize firearms, but I was always ordered to stand down and not to seize the firearms." Just how high up did this order originate? Just which federal agencies were involved and what were their roles? Did taxpayer dollars buy the guns for the criminals? Why did DOJ cover this up?
