by ATF Special Agent Rene Jaquez was interviewed by Sharyl Attkisson on CBS News this evening. Agent Jaquez is stationed in Juarez, Mexico which has become one of the most dangerous locations in Mexico. He had previously been interviewed about Operation Fast and Furious (aka Project Gunwalker) on the Spanish-language station Univision.
More importantly, it now becomes evident that Operation Fast and Furious did not involve only the ATF.
But ATF wasn’t working alone on the case known as “Fast and Furious.” Documents show ATF had conference calls with “DHS” (Homeland Security). “USMS” (U.S. Marshals) and DEA. An “ICE,” or Customs agent, was on ATF’s Fast and Furious team. They were advised by an “AUSA,” or Assistant U.S. Attorney under the Justice Department.
Grassley and Issa seriously need to get an independent investigator on this. The corruption stinks.
