The &#8220;they&#8221; are House and Senate investigators who have converged on Arizona in the course of their investigation into Operation Fast and Furious (aka Project Gunwalker).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/8301-31727_162-20057548-10391695.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sharyl Attkisson of CBS News reports<\/a> that:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>CBS News has learned that House and Senate investigators have descended upon Arizona for their probe into the so-called &#8220;Gunwalker&#8221; scandal. They&#8217;re gathering interviews from witnesses, including ATF insiders and area gun shop owners. Sources tell CBS News the congressional investigators are frustrated by what they view as across-the-board stonewalling by government agencies which have refused to provide information in the investigation. Government officials have said they won&#8217;t provide information while their own investigations are ongoing. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They&#8217;re investigating themselves,&#8221; says one source on Capitol Hill, &#8220;and then claiming the open investigations preclude them from giving Congress information it needs for independent oversight. It&#8217;s highly improper.&#8221;<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Attkisson&#8217;s report also identifies the Assistant U.S. Attorney who advised Operation Fast and Furious as AUSA Emory Hurley. Mr. Hurley&#8217;s boss U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke was the long-time chief of staff for Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano. As a reminder, one should not forget that Napolitano was the Governor of Arizona until she assumed the DHS post in 2009.<\/p>\n<p>In a related development, Attkisson reports that George Gillett continues to spill the beans to Sen. Charles Grassley&#8217;s staff. <a href=\"http:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.blogspot.com\/2011\/04\/rats-leaving-sinking-ship.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">As I emphasized earlier in the month<\/a>, this is the equivalent of a Nixon White House insider giving the goods to Sen.
