There is no way to know currently whether he passed this information to others on the NSC or up the chain to the President&#8217;s office.<\/p>\n<p>With every revelation in Project Gunwalker, it just keeps getting more and more interesting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE:<\/strong> David Codrea examines the significance of the NSC&#8217;s Director for North America being in the loop about Project Gunwalker <a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/gun-rights-in-national\/atf-s-phoenix-sac-emailed-gunwalker-info-to-national-security-council\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>What\u2019s evident from today\u2019s exchange is Issa\u2019s committee has some degree of access to past Newell\/O\u2019Reilly email correspondence. How much is one question. Where following up on what they have will lead\u2014and how high up\u2014is another, and the most important one of all.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an article on today&#8217;s hearings into Operation Fast and Furious, CBS&#8217;s Sharyl Attkisson has this update on William&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[544,1520,3692],"class_list":["post-4102","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-project-gunwalker","tag-sharyl-attkisson","tag-william-newell"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4102","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4102"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4102\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7024,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4102\/revisions\/7024"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4102"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4102"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4102"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
