Mexico’s foreign minister
announced in a video posted on Twitter that he sent a note to the US Embassy
asking for answers about an ill-fated gun-running scheme dubbed “Fast and
Furious” during the Obama administration, according to a report.
“The [Mexican] government
requests that it be provided with all the information available regarding the
‘Fast and Furious’ operation,” Marcelo Ebrard said, Reuters reported.
He cited former US Attorney
General Eric Holder as saying Mexican authorities knew about the 2009-2011
scheme, which allowed people to buy arms illegally in the US and take them to
Mexico, so they could be tracked to drug cartel bosses and lead law enforcement
there.
The scheme hoped to limit gun
smuggling across the border.
A review of the operation found
that only 710 out of about 2,000 firearms were recovered as of February 2012,
according to the Office of the Inspector General.
In 2011, Holder – who was the
attorney general between 2009 and 2015 — had requested the OIG to conduct a
review of the operation.
Last week, President Andres
Manuel Lopez Obrador said his government would send a note to Washington for
information on the operation, as his regime digs for possible corruption under
previous administrations.
It was the first time Ebrard or
Obrador made direct reference by name to a key US official connected to the
program since the matter resurfaced in Mexico a week ago.
“How could this be? A
government that invades in this way, that flagrantly violates sovereignty,
international laws,” Obrador said at a news conference, according to Reuters.

The most despicable aspect of the Obama/Holder Fast and Furious operation is the idea was the guns would be “tracked” in Mexico. Now think. “Tracked” how?
ReplyDeleteTo be tracked, they had to be used.
So the plan was to deliver guns so they would be used. The plan was for people to be murdered.
Mexican people.
Who the Hell would do this?
Obamagate is coming
DeleteThat is exactly why the Operation was in place, to help the CDS fight the ZETAs.
DeleteWell did we really believe AMLO was above this kind of political stunt,wonder why this is making news right now,no i dont really wonder.FNF is an important issue(not)we need answers(not)about this sceme to track weapons
ReplyDeleteYes we do need answers about fast and furious. Their little project cost countless murders in Mexico.
DeleteFECAL has been asking for it, and he is going to get exposed for the crook he is and for the vende-patrias he became for money.
Delete"Their little project cost countless murders in Mexico"
DeleteC,mon man,your motive is not righteous,you know it i know it,your indignation is somewhat misplaced.A project that happened 10 years ago and has had endoscopes up the arse and you want more answers?May be more pressing issues at hand but,what do i know?
^^^
Delete712
I said there are a lot of morons who fall for this manipulation
U.S.A.- "we have NOTHING"
ReplyDeleteAMLO- "ok"
You know damn well ain't nobody getting charged
If it was the other way around the U.S would have gotten even their grandma's 😆
The same old game with a new name drugs go north guns go south. What kinda of morons thought they would just operate in Mexico with impunity to track these weapons? Horrible idea next time at least make the cartels pay for them.
ReplyDeleteEric Holder is a liar. He was taking bribes from the Mexican DTOs to get weapons to them.
ReplyDeleteHow interesting. I wonder if these has to do with the fact #Obamagate was trending HEAVILY across Twitter and social media throughout the week...
ReplyDelete#Obamagate received 3.5 million tweets just yesterday.
How outrageous something that happened 10 years ago, that they want answers now. Like I mentioned before, the government should concentrate on the pandemic and cartel violence that is killing many people.
ReplyDeleteWell because Obama was in control why would he arrest himself.
DeleteNo No If you have solid proff of past wrong doing of US officals Show it NOW never never hid it no matter who is in WH You should always turn them in Or we will be just excatly like Mexicos Gov.
DeleteI want everyone in Our Gov exposed no matter who they are

Mexico Sue the shit out of Holder and all others in civil court
ObaMAGAte!
ReplyDeleteAnd narry a cricket chips on the mainstream media about this story, as it sullies their savior.
ReplyDeleteLatin America has been invading the us with drugs for decades... what’s a few guns matter??
ReplyDeleteObama is a dumbass so build the wall trump...
More drugs equals more drug addicts.../
Latin American drug dealers are a lazy group of parasites 🦠 for the world to deal with... that includes the italiano mafia as well...
Make money in a respectful legal way...
El verdad
Americans are the biggest consumers of drugs and instead of that dumbass wall this country needs to fix its addiction and don’t blame someone for supplying the demand that the United States created!!! The US government is the biggest drug dealer in the world!
Delete12:44 so they consume what you going to do about it. Get up and call your congressman.
Delete12:44 if the cartels were not introducing it, people wouldn't get hooked. Don't blame the Americans.
Delete1244 nobody demands to be a drug addict , scumbags that are pushing drugs onto the worlds youth created the demand. The power of the US dollar over a peso drives the dealers to sell where it is more profitable... NAFTA has to end or Mexico should be held responsible for abusing its privilege to trade with the USA... without the USA Mexico would be another third world country just like Honduras Guatemala El Salvador Nicaragua .... Spain with her search for gold really did screw mesoamericanas over...
DeleteGC
Isn’t this note... a little late?
ReplyDeletea decade...but a new president
DeleteWho will do nothing
DeleteNew president can't even take care of himself from CV. He also had put a staff to see who killed collusion, also the 43 students that were killed, also seekevan apology from Spain on something that happened 500 years ago, talk about nonsince.
DeleteNever to late for Justice !
Deletei want to know the innocents killed by these guns.. Not to late for them. Real True Justice must always prevail and most important is people who we place faith in as a people
and to think I voted for Obama.
After Him and his B.S. never again..
The comments are FABULOUS! Thanks to all
ReplyDeleteBury currebt bad news with old bad news,people really do buy into this crap,masses are tractable and stupid
ReplyDeleteCommon Obrador you can do better, that's something that happened 10 years ago, concentrate on the 35,000 that died to homicides last year.
ReplyDeleteYea concentrate on the current situation at hand.
Delete1. Corona Virus.
2. Cartel violence.
3. Care packages for the needy.
4:07 Since FECAL and his allies are fucking around so much in Mexico with the mexicans and their duly elected president who did not need to steal the election, FECAL needs to be put in his place, and be outed for what he is/was, one more mexican traitor to his country who sold out to guns and drugs from a foreign country and who sold Mexico and the Mexicans and a their assets he could to any takers, just like EPN and salinas de gortari.
Delete--The enemy never sleeps, even on the US, wake the fack up!!!
How many years ago for the Camarera case and the US still wants justice? The US government laughs at Mexico, they don't even dish out justice in their own country.
ReplyDeleteMEXICO CV 4,679 dead
ReplyDelete40,186 infected
Mfers got afraid that some cartels worked with the China and Russian government makeing billions of dollars while snitcholas worked for the dea that’s why they sent the guns
ReplyDeleteU.S. sends a note Stop the curruption or lose yearly aid.
ReplyDelete1:39 AMLO HAS ALREADY REFUSED "YEARLY AID" FOR WOD FROM THE US.
Deletebut i am sure your ignorance harbors no small amount of malice.
--Who is your dean, juan guaido and his revolutionary plastic banana "War on Maduro" contractor JJ Rendón? (They had a more than 200 million dollar contract for their failed War of Pigs on Venezuela")
Not true. US gave Mexico exactly 236 M of aid in 2019 and just agreed to give $5.8 billion in aid to be used in the southern states
DeleteLol 7:02 you speak for Obrador.
DeleteHe is very happy to receive aid from USA, and happy to receive bribes from Cartels.
They were sending guns and planting trucks the Naco and agua prieta cartel had some nice trucks and hummers planted by one of the snitches
ReplyDeleteWho the hell sent the note? I bet you it was the secret of security Durazno.
ReplyDeleteThe same knockle head, that knew which cartel killed LeBron ladies and kids, but choose not to name the cartel.
"They caused murders in Mexico"? Last I checked Mexicans caused the murders in Mexico. There is no OP FF now, so your still have the audacity to blame Americans for Mexicans behavior? If i sell you a gun and you rob a bank with it, does that make me a bank robber? When you Mexicans stop saying stupid things like "If Americans didn't do drugs, we wouldn't .." and start taking responsibility for YOUR actions maybe you will start to see change.
ReplyDeleteYour government meddling and becoming affiliated with cartels that meddle in the lives of innocent people is the reason why this is a problem. If you okay an operation that costed lives in foreign lands, then by all means eat the salt American because that was all you. This happened because your government decided to side with a cartel.
DeleteMexicans love to repeat that old BS "Americans are the biggest consumers of.." because it is all you have as an excuse for your behavior and easier than saying we are weak and and in love with Narco culture. You write songs about it, you make movies about it, you all love the flash of it with your gold plated pistols, leather boots and trucks. You even open Instagram and facebook accounts to show off the lifestyle you are proud of....and your saying a bunch of heroine junkies force you to behave this way??
ReplyDeleteobama and holder r responsible, now they would say racist
