Obama's Ignored Scandal, Fast and Furious, 10 Times Worse Than Realized

The Office of the Inspector General (OIG) for the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has issued a draft of his report on the Fast and Furious scandal, which is now being poured over by DOJ officials who have 30 days to provide feedback.

One source who has seen the report told National Gun Rights Examiner David Codrea today that the report is "10 times worse" than expected.

Although few details have been forthcoming concerning the report, leaks from DOJ have indicated that the OIG identifies the Phoenix Field Division of the ATF as the source for much of the scandal. The leaks have led field agents to express the fear that they will be forced to take the brunt of the blame in the scandal.

But it will be difficult if not impossible for ATF supervisors, the U.S. Attorney's Office in Phoenix, and top ATF supervisors at DOJ in Washington to escape culpability given the mountain of evidence that has been presented to Congress during the past 20 months.

Further, Arizona attorney David Hardy has already provided proof that the process of "gunwalking" was approved as a strategy out of the Phoenix Field Division, a strategy that would require approval from the top layers of DOJ leadership.
