Fast and Furious never happened!!! Rogue Agent Made it Up.

Fortune Magazine's article on Fast and Furious took six months to put together, and turns the whole phony issue upside down. Agents couldn't charge anyone arrested with guns because of weak gun laws.
...mandate was to stop gun traffickers in Arizona, the state ranked by the gun-control advocacy group Legal Community Against Violence as having the nation's "weakest gun violence prevention laws." No federal statute outlaws firearms trafficking, so agents must build cases using a patchwork of often toothless laws. For six years, due to Beltway politics, the bureau has gone without permanent leadership, neutered in its fight for funding and authority.
The rogue agent went on to accuse ATF of something that was patently false, of a program that didn't exist. 
 ...an ATF agent named John Dodson, whom Voth had supervised, made startling allegations on the CBS Evening News
Get this; there are "853 gun dealers in Phoenix alone, the seven-agent Fast and Furious team never stood a chance." But there was no Fast and Furious plan, just lose gun laws in Arizona, that created 853 gun dealers in Phoenix. Martin Bashir:



Fortune Magazine: Irony abounds when it comes to the Fast and Furious scandal. But the ultimate irony is this: Republicans who support the National Rifle Association and its attempts to weaken gun laws are lambasting ATF agents for not seizing enough weapons—ones that, in this case, prosecutors deemed to be legal.

Media Gets Challenge for Covering Fast and Furious; are they still Fox News Suckers?

There's a gun crazy loon behind the whole Fast and Furious phony controversy ginned by Fox News, and other rabid low information politicians. It really is amazing how something like this is taken so seriously by the news outlets without some context.

Rachel Maddow wonders if the media will play the suckers again. Gee, I wonder. This is Maddow's second attempt at trying to change the Fast and Furious media narrative. Still no change....

Fast and Furious, the real story.

I haven't paid any attention to the Fox News creation against AG Eric Holder, Fast and Furious. But had I known just how bizarre this whole thing really was, I might watched the congressional panel vote and charge Attorney General Eric Holder with contempt of Congress.

Ah, but the real story....Rachel Maddow will blow your mind. We, as a country, are in real trouble.



I thought this analysis later with Bob Herbert offered proof, this wasn't a wild liberal conspiracy theory by Rachel:



Finally, Stephen Colbert said in about 20 seconds what almost no news outlet has been able to explain for months, and what Rachel explained above. You might say it's the cliff notes, tea party version:
