“In December of last year, Border Agent Brian Terry was killed by Mexican gang members in an Arizona border shootout. Two of the weapons recovered from the scene had been part of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF)’s “Project Gunrunner,” a plot whereby thousands of firearms were deliberately sold to known straw purchasers for Mexican drug cartels, then assisted across the border by the ATF itself.

On May 4th, Obama regime Attorney General Eric Holder sat before the House Judiciary Committee, evading California Representative Darrell Issa’s questions about the Justice Department’s involvement in ATF’s ultimately deadly Gunrunner scheme:
Issa: How about the head of the Criminal Division, Lanny Breuer, Did he authorize it?
Holder: I’m not sure whether Mr. Breuer authorized it. You have to understand the way in which the Department operates. Although there are operations, this one has become–has gotten a great deal of publicity.
Issa: Yeah, there are dead Americans as a result of this failed and reckless program. So I would say that it hasn’t gotten enough attention, has it Mr. Attorney General?
Later, after enduring all he could stomach of Holder’s reverence for his own department’s phony investigation of the ATF, Issa finally rebuked the self-important bureaucrat, saying:
We’re not looking at straw buyers, Mr. Attorney General. We’re looking at you. We’re looking at your key people…who should have known about this…and whether or not the Justice Department is basically guilty of allowing weapons to kill Americans and Mexicans.
Of course, no one who learned his arrogance at the knee of the Crown Prince of Conceit will allow himself to be beaten down with subpoenas or contempt of Congress hearings. So, Holder has chosen a new tack.
After more than five months of inaction, a 14 count indictment for murder has been filed against Manuel Osorio-Arellanes, a Mexican illegal wounded during the shootout which took the life of Agent Terry.
Is this a sudden act of contrition or piety on the part of the Attorney General? A bone thrown to Congress, the American people, or Brian Terry’s family? Hardly.
With the filing of murder charges – two days after the Issa hearing – Holder can now claim that any and all Project Gunrunner information subpoenaed by the Issa committee may be withheld as material to the prosecution of Osorio-Arellanes. Although Holder had ignored requests and demands for information all along, now there would be an excuse.
By the way, two other names are included in the indictment against Osorio-Arellanes, but they will not be made public. These two were arrested along with the Mexican illegal on the night of Terry’s murder, then deported in February after pleading guilty to minor illegal entry infractions.
Is it possible they were the straw purchasers of the AK-47 used to kill Terry? Does the regime prefer they be out of the country, rather than spilling their guts on the witness stand about how they were illegally sold weapons by the ATF?
After all, in February, Project Gunrunner had yet to attract the volume of heat and attention focused on it today, so who would notice the sudden “elimination” of two murder suspects, or rather, potential witnesses against the Regime?
The outrage over Project Gunrunner is not going away soon. It’s anyone’s guess who will be thrown under the White House bus for this one.”
