    Video: Preview of Univision’s “bombshell” report on Fast & Furious

    Hot Air

    Excerpt:

    "The Obama administration clearly hoped that the Department of Justice’s Inspector General report on Operation Fast and Furious would be the last word on the scandal. which has been tied to hundreds of deaths in Mexico and the murders of two American law-enforcement officials. However, a new report from Univision to be broadcast tomorrow, previewed here by ABC News, may put the issue back on the front pages. One source called Univision’s findings the “holy grail” that Congressional investigators have been seeking:

    Often lost amid the rancor in Washington are the stories of dozens of people killed by guns that flowed south as part of the undercover operation, and later slipped out of view from U.S. officials. Univision’s Investigative Unit (Univision Investiga) has identified massacres committed using guns from the ATF operation, including the killing of 16 young people attending a party in a residential area of Ciudad Juárez in January of 2010.


    The guns didn’t stop in Mexico, either:

    Additional guns, previously unreported by congressional investigators, found their way into the hands of drug traffickers across Latin America in countries such as, Honduras and Colombia, as well as the U.S. Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. A person familiar with the recent congressional hearings called Univision’s findings “the holy grail” that Congress had been searching for.


    The Daily Caller also reports on Univision’s findings and the impact they may have on the scandal:

    “The consequences of the controversial ‘Fast and Furious’ undercover operation put in place by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) in 2009 have been deadlier than what has been made public to date,” the network said. “The exclusive, in-depth investigation by Univision News’ award-winning Investigative Unit — Univision Investiga — has found that the guns that crossed the border as part of Operation Fast and Furious caused dozens of deaths inside Mexico.”

    Among other groups of Fast and Furious victim stories Univision says it will tell in the special to air Sunday evening at 7 p.m., is one about how “16 young people attending a party in a residential area of Ciudad Juárez in January of 2010″ were gunned down with weapons the Obama administration gave to drug cartel criminals through Fast and Furious.

    “Univision News’ Investigative Unit was also able to identify additional guns that escaped the control of ATF agents and were used in different types of crimes throughout Mexico,” the network added. “Furthermore, some of these guns — none of which were reported by congressional investigators — were put in the hands of drug traffickers in Honduras, Puerto Rico, and Colombia. A person familiar with the recent congressional hearings called Univision’s findings ‘the holy grail’ that Congress had been searching for.”

    The following is COMMENT #36, by 'butterdezillion' in the thread:

    "When the US government, without informing or getting the approval of the Mexican government, arms the drug cartels that are specifically destroying whole towns in Mexico, and considers Mexicans as “collateral damage”, I’d consider that an act of war.

    The Hispanics who fled to America either to get away from the violence in their own country or to get a chance at prosperity here should be incensed that he is first arming the drug cartels and then making sure that the US doors are left wide open for these murderers/terrorists to follow their prey into America also, and disgusted that Obama is turning the US economy into the same thing they tried to escape from.

    Everything they hoped to find in America is being destroyed by this guy who considers their people to be props whose deaths serve a greater “good”.

    Any self-respecting Hispanic should be voting against Obama."



    The following is COMMENT #40, by 'marktwain' in the thread:

    "So to review, Obama has lost ground with:

    Latinos

    Catholics

    Independents

    Women

    Whites

    Youth

    Am I missing anyone? And we are to believe the drivel that he is pulling away in the polls? BULLBINKY

    Well, you missed black voters, who are expected to drop off in turnout and below the 95% for Obama that he got lost time.

    On the other hand, his popularity has gone up among dead people and felons."
