Friday, the Justice Department released over 1,000 pages of documents related to Operation Fast and Furious, the botched gun-tracking program run by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Today, there are new accusations that the documents show that feds lied about how they managed the program.
Judge Napolitano joined Studio B to discuss this and new revelations that the money the drug cartels were earning through the program was being deposited into American banks by DEA agents. He said, “This has been going on for a while. This is not just the fault of the Obama administration, but it’s coming out now. This bit about the money laundering is new, the revelation of it is new, and the Obama administration hasn’t even been in a position to defend it yet. The guns is another story. That they apparently misled the Congress and some heads will probably roll.”
Napolitano said, “The thought that this money passed through hands of Federal agents, who facilitated its movement, they didn’t stop the people who deposited in the banks, they deposited it for them — is repellent.”
He posed the question, “Why does the government have to break the law in order to enforce the law?”
