A horrifying look at one of the bloodiest scandals in the history of the American presidency, Fast and Furious is this season's sensational, mustread book that will rock America—and the Obama administration—to its core.
200 and rising. That's the death tally for the Obama administration's "Operation Fast & Furious." The program was supposedly designed to "win the drug war" by deliberately walking more than 2,000 guns across the border to Mexico. But instead of catching drug lords, Fast & Furious armed the very king pins it was supposed to trap. Despite the protests of gun store owners and ATF whistleblowers, federal agents deliberately violated federal law—and common sense—and wound up placing American weapons into the hands of Mexico's most violent criminals. And when the guns started showing up at crime scenes—including the murder scene of a U.S. border patrol agent—the coverup began.
So reveals Townhall Editor Katie Pavlich in her newsbreaking exposé Fast and Furious: Barack Obama's Bloodiest Scandal. While the White House has claimed ignorance of the program, Pavlich debunks their lies, denials and excuses by demonstrating incontestable proof that President Obama and Attorney General Holder did willfully and knowingly sanction the program in order to advance their antisecond amendment agenda.

Everyone should read this and then make a judgement about the actions of this administration. If you are comportable with this type of amateur approach to crime fighting then sleep well if you can. Ask yourself how you would have reacted to such a fiasco had it occured during the Bush adminstration.

Excellent read. Information that everyone should be made aware of before casting their vote this November. This administration has blood on their hands...OUR border guards plus unknown number of Mexican citizens.

Even following the news and the usual reliable sources, it's difficult to learn exactly the lengths to which the BATF went to manufacture a gun sales "crisis" that they could then blame on "lax" gun laws and gun stores who put profits before the law. In fact, it was the BATF that FORCED gun stores to sell to obvious "straw" purchasers in spite of their total reluctance to do so and in blatant violation of the gin laws the BATF was SUPPOSED to enforce! The BATF trafficked thousands of guns into Mexico and continued to do so even after hundreds of Mexican Citzens died from these weapons and Mexican police helicopters were being shot down with .50 cal heavy weapons funneled into the country by our own government's program. The result after federal agents were killed by these weapons? A coverup and stonewalling by the BATF and Eric Holder's "Dept of Justice!". Katie Pavlich has done a darn fine job of documenting this operation and the resultant attempts to cover it up!

Scary look at what our government can do in the name of fighting "wars" of various types. Also how they think it is OK to put us at risk for some "greater good"

It's amazing how appointed officials get away with so much stupidity all in the name of politics. The senseless loss of life and arming of criminals will make you angry.

Read this and discover everything you have suspected is probably true! Trouble is, they will all get away way with it... probably.

The narrative and underlying facts are presented in clear, concise prose. The "plan" to subvert the rights of American citizens under the 2nd Amendment needs to be exposed and those who perpetrated it need to be dealt with. Kudos to Pavlich for meeting the highest standard for writing an expose of this magnitude.

A true disgrace is the American media and the lack of information that has been brought forth to the American public on the horror this administration has brought upon law abiding citizens trying to defend the border.

Katie does a great job of timelining the DOJ scandal that has gone almost unmentioned in the mainstream media. Loaded with more facts and figures than opinion, this is a great read, and resource, for anyone who has folled the death of two Americans with weapons provided by DOJ.

Forget about “Healthcare”, forget about the economy! The Fast and Furious debacle shakes the foundations of the Executive branch and demonstrates the corruption and lack of leadership and accountability, within the Department of Justice. Katie Pavlich covers this scandal in a concise factual manner referencing documentation sources so that the reader can understand the details and timeline in a way that a 15 second media or political sound bite can never convey. Forget ideology or party affiliation. Read this and then determine what you will do to hold current and future administrations and your Senators and Representatives responsible for the lack of leadership and accountability in DOJ and DHS. A must read for anyone that cares about the integrity of our government, the rule of law and the Constitutional integrity of our country.
