Could Hillary Clinton be Pulled into Fast and Furious?

Let's try to put a few more pieces into the Fast and Furious puzzle and see if they fit. First, it is being reported, but not by the mainstream media, that the scandal will eventually involve Hillary Clinton and her State Dept. From Anthony Martin at Examiner Com:
"My sources say that as Hillary's trusted subordinate, it was Shapiro who first described to the Secretary of State the details of what has become the Gunwalker Scandal.

The precise extent to which Hillary Clinton's knowledge of, and responsibility for, the Gunwalker Plot, lies within the memories of these two men, Shapiro and Steinberg, sources say.
The sources also express dismay that the Issa committee is apparently restricting itself to the Department of Justice and not venturing further afield. The House Foreign Affairs Committee, they say, needs to summon these two men and their subordinates -- especially at the Mexico Desk at State -- and question them under oath as to what Hillary Clinton knew about the origins of the Gunwalker Scandal and when she knew it.

There is one other thing those sources agree upon. The CIA, they say, knows "everything" about the "Mexican hat dance" that became the Gunwalker Scandal."

Readers will remember that in early 2009 President Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Eric Holder were very vocal in their claims that 90% of the gun seized from Mexican drug cartels originated in the US. Also there was a conference in Mexico when Eric Holder announced a new effort to stop the flow of guns into Mexico. In an August 12 post I suggested that the CIA may have been involved in Fast and Furious. In that post I stated that waiting trial in Chicago was the son of Ismael Zambada, Jesus Vincente Zambada-Niebla of the Sinaloa Cartel. Zambada-Niebla claims to have an immunity agreement with the DEA that allowed him to smuggle tons of cocaine into Chicago and has pled not guilty. Now from Chicago we learn the US government denied it was hampering the case of Zambada-Niebla by refusing to hand over top secret data on the American fight against drug-trafficking. It did acknowledge that there was an agreement of sorts but claimed introducing it in open court would create "significant security concerns". It could be that those security concerns have nothing to do with operation Fast and Furious and are merely based on concerns for Mexican nationals who would be harmed if their names were connected to the case. Now if the court orders the data turned over in a closed hearing no one outside of that court room will ever know if that agreement has any relevance to Fast and Furious. In summation, we have an unconfirmed report that Hillary Clinton was involved in Fast and Furious (wouldn't that be a block buster?) and we are awaiting answers we may never get from a federal court in Chicago. While proving nothing this incremental information does support my theory that the CIA is somehow at the bottom of Fast and Furious. It's slow going!

  1. My only caution is that the Examiner and its reporters, I believe, are citizen journalists and not necessarily privy to solid info. That said, hmmmm.....

  2. Notice that I did say it was unconfirmed. Yeah they use citizen "journalists".
