Obama Names Candidate For ATF Director Who Was Involved In Design Of “Fast And Furious”
As part of President Barack Obama’s 23-point gun control plan, he
nominated Minnesota U.S. Attorney B. Todd Jones-who currently doubles
right now as the acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives-to be the ATF Director.
Jones was personally a part of the high-ranking Department of Justice
unit that first met on October 26, 2009, to create the new DOJ policy
that was used to justify “gunwalking” in Operation Fast and Furious. In
Fast and Furious, the ATF “walked” roughly 2,000 firearms into the hands
of the Mexican drug cartels. That means through straw purchasers the
agency allowed sales to happen and didn’t stop the guns from being
trafficked, even though they had the legal authority to do so and were
fully capable of doing so.
Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and hundreds of Mexican
citizens–estimates put it around at least 300–were killed with these
firearms.
