Fast And Furious: How Deep Does The Rabbit Hole Go?
Jul 8, 2011 5 Comments ›› Toro520
The H.R.1 – American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009, also commonly referred to as the “Stimulus Bill,” specificially made reference to funding measures for ‘Operation Gunrunner.’ If we are to take Mr. Obama’s word that he reviews all bills item by item, line by line, shall we not assume that he should be fully aware of ‘Operation Gunrunner’ and its secretive sub-operation, ‘Fast & Furious?’
…or was he just lying about personally editing all budget proposals, as well?
Division A – Appropriations Division
Office of Justice Programs
State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance
“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 and in High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas to combat criminal narcotics activity stemming from the Southern border, of which $10,000,000 shall be transferred to ‘Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Salaries and Expenses’ for the ATF Project Gunrunner..”
The next logical question to ask: Who drafted this funding appropriation within the bill?
