Powerline blog reports on how the real facts are leaking out on the Obama-Fuhrer’s gun running scandal. It seems that the patsies don’t want to take the fall for the corruptocrats. Kenneth Melson was the designated fall guy, but he went to congress to testify regarding the details of the scandal. That wasn’t part of the Obama-Fuhrer’s glorious plan.
According to Mr. Melson, he and ATF’s senior leadership team moved to reassign every manager involved in Fast and Furious, from the Deputy Assistant Director for Field Operations down to the Group Supervisor, after learning the facts in those documents. Mr. Melson also said he was not allowed to communicate to Congress the reasons for the reassignments. He claimed that ATF’s senior leadership would have preferred to be more cooperative with our inquiry much earlier in the process. However, he said that Justice Department officials directed them not to respond and took full control of replying to briefing and document requests from Congress. The result is that Congress only got the parts of the story that the Department wanted us to hear.
