ATF Chief Admits Mistakes In Operation Fast And Furious, Accuses Holder Aides Of Stonewalling Congress
FoxNews has been on top of the ATF scandal involving the disastrous "Fast and Furious" operation.
The below piece was published on FoxNews.com yesterday, July 18th:
WASHINGTON -- The head of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has admitted that his agency, in at least one instance, allowed sales of high-powered weapons without intercepting them -- and he accuses his superiors at the Justice Department of stonewalling Congress to protect political appointees in the scandal over those decisions.
Acting ATF Director Kenneth Melson made the disclosures about the so-called Operation Fast and Furious in an interview with congressional investigators looking into the controversial anti-gunrunning initiative.
