White house response, slow and hushed

The White House response to the 'Fast and Furious' scandal involving the ATF, is becoming more and more slow and hushed.


CBS News reports
Late Friday, the White House turned over new documents in the Congressional investigation into the ATF "Fast and Furious" gunwalking scandal.


The documents show extensive communications between then-ATF Special Agent in Charge of the Phoenix office Bill Newell - who led Fast and Furious - and then-White House National Security Staffer Kevin O'Reilly. Emails indicate the two also spoke on the phone. Such detailed, direct communications between a local ATF manager in Phoenix and a White House national security staffer has raised interest among Congressional investigators looking into Fast and Furious. Newell has said he and O'Reilly are long time friends.

ATF agents say that in Fast and Furious, their agency allowed thousands of assault rifles and other weapons to be sold to suspected traffickers for Mexican drug cartels. At least two of the guns turned up at the murder scene of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry last December.

ATF Manager says he shared Fast and Furious with the White House

A scandal like this in any other administration?  I think we know the answer to that question.

So now there is a paper trail that clearly connects the White House to yet another example of political forced perspectives and politics and policies off the radar to the American people. And the complicit media is being as quiet as a church mouse about the entire affair.

Stay tuned....

I am delightfully reminded of the times in Scripture when the enemies of God, in their attacks, were thwarted in their efforts, and then turned on themselves in their confusion, and destroyed themselves.

God is showing the world who and what we have in power, what their purpose is, and is exposing them for the freedom haters that they truly are.

Thanks for being a part of the revealing.
