"Letting (Smoking) Guns Walk"

Documents and Whistle blowers have exposed a ATF sting operation where agents were ordered to allow illegal guns to be moved from the US over the border to Mexico, specifically to be sold to Mexican cartels.
The problem (other than this is a clear violation of the law), is that the guns made it to the cartels, but the ATF never followed up.
Some of the guns have been proven to have been the murder weapon used to kill ATF and other agents.
When agents complained about this plan, they were told they could find jobs somewhere else... like the Maricopa County Jail.
The operation was approved by the Dept of Justice... when will Obama and his criminal cronies be brought to justice for this?
Will the supporters of Obama be willing to hold him accountable for this? If not, why not?

Yup, and in that case, it was approved by Prs. Clinton directly.

I see you pluralized "President," I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers the female "co-president," Mizz Hillary "We are the President" Clinton.

Never thought of it that way Maggie.
When you connect all the dots over the years, it becomes obvious that we did not arrive where we are by accident.
My prayer is that there are enough true, red blooded Americans in positions of authority that when the order is given so many will disobey that we at least have a chance.

I doubt anyone will follow up with the justice department. Holder didn't prosecute the people who disrupted voting and violated peoples' civil rights in the last national election and he got away with it. Why shouldn't he get away with not prosecuting this or holding anyone liable?
Obama has violated so many laws and gotten away with it, as has his cronies in the justice department. At least Boehner has formally challenged him on the war powers act.
Until the public becomes outraged, nothing will be done. A few of the more sentient people will make a fuss, just like this post, but most of the sheep don't live in border towns and aren't directly impacted by the cartels and illegals. The media isn't publicizing it widely, either.
I don't think you'll see much happening on this.

Will they hold him accountable? 
Have they held him accountable for anything yet? no. He has plenty of scapegoats in place, no need for him to get dirty. Most likely, a handy dandy czar will take the fall on this one.
For an administration that does not want the citizenry to be armed, they sure do want the bad guys to be.
