Once again Washington has shown its contempt for Americans. Todd Jones, director of the ATF confirmed Wednesday that no one involved in the botched gun-running project has been fired. The agency was responsible for the so-called ‘Fast & Furious’ sting operation that allowed weapons to flow across the Mexican border.
Todd Jones, the director of the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives told a House Government Reform and Oversight Committee hearing that some employees involved in the Fast and Furious operation were disciplined and others resigned with pensions, but no one was terminated.Committee Chairman Darrell Issa questioned whether the ATF and Mr. Jones had demonstrated full accountability for the operation after an inspector general’s report revealed deep flaws with the plan and its execution.
Mr. Jones responded that “everyone involved in the ATF in the chain of command has either been disciplined or is no longer working with the agency.”
Mr. Issa pressed, “But the answer of fired is no. Is that correct?”
Mr. Jones replied, “As a result of the inspector general’s report, the answer is no.”
The special agent in charge of the Fast & Furious operation, William Newell suffered only a demotion, according to TheBlaze.
Has the ATF just fallen back on the hope the bungled operation that ran from 2009-2011 would be forgotten?

SNAFU
We should give these asses to the Mexican drug gangs.
Obama has zero respect for the laws of this country! He is the sorriest excuse for a president that we have ever had!
What a great country, you can destroy America and keep right on doing more to keep it down!!!
Holder is the one that should be in prison
NSA,IRS,BENGHAZI,ETC answer is..2014 2016
‘No surprise here. Wonder when they’ll get their bonuses from Holder?
thats not justice whatsoever we need to hold the people who’s REALLY responsible thats the ATF and Eric Holder they both need to go and yes i know bitching on FB isn’t going to solve anything
The ATF Agent in charge of the entire thing wasn’t fired. He was questioned then quickly became the head of a multi billion dollar corporation overseas with a 7 figure salary. That says it all.
VOTE AND MAKE THE SENATE REPUBLICAN WE MIGHT STAND A CHANCE…
