Did a threat to “go public” by the man who made the recordings,Lone Wolf gun store owner Andre Howard,force the Justice Department to provide the previously “secret” Fast and Furious tapes to CBS News?
Andre Howard was in a tough spot. For two years he had provided valuable assistance on Operation Fast and Furious to the ATF,the FBI,and the Phoenix office of the U.S. Attorney,selling nearly 1,000 firearms at the insistence of these agencies to unsavory characters.
But Howard knew many of the buyers should not have been approved by the FBI for the purchase of guns.
On December 17,2009,Howard met with Assistant U.S. Attorney Emory Hurley,ATF case agent Hope Macallister,and ATF Group Supervisor David Voth.
According to an e-mail Hurley sent by his boss,U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke a year later in January 2011,Howard “expressed concern about the cooperation he was providing and whether he was endangering himself or implicating himself in a criminal investigation.”
According to his e-mail,Hurley told Howard to simply comply with the law when selling weapons. That is,“as long as the required forms are properly filled out and [Howard] did not know or have reason to know that the firearms were part of a straw purchase or intended to be used in a crime,that he could complete the transfer.”
There is no way of knowing whether this was really what Hurley related to Howard in that 2009 meeting. But it seems far more likely that Hurley simply told Howard what an important job he was doing and that he should continue providing assistance to the ATF,the FBI,and,of course the U.S. Attorney’s office.
It’s not unreasonable to assume that the “follow the law” diatribe was specially improvised in an e-mail to cover the posterior of Emory Hurley,given the death of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry one month before the e-mail was written and the very real possibility that these agencies were thinking of setting up Howard as the fall guy.
After all,Howard’s Lone Wolf store had sold two of the weapons found at the murder scene,the only two known of and attested to in court records at the time.
But Terry’s death in December 2010 changed a few things.
Now Emory Hurley was making it clear to Howard that he should keep quiet. “We’re all in the same boat,” he told Howard. And ATF Group Supervisor Voth agreed,saying,“we are all on the same sheet of music. And if we stay on the same sheet of music,we will be all right.”
But Howard had no intention of lying or covering up for the Obama regime. Indeed,shortly after Voth’s “sheet music” nonsense,“ATF officials were quoted in a Washington Post article and [in] the Spanish language daily La Opinion…blaming Lone Wolf for ‘selling guns to cartels’ with no mention that Howard was operating under the federal government’s direction,encouragement and approval.”
Clearly they intended to blame Howard for the Fast and Furious related deaths of Brian Terry and countless Mexicans….

Amazingly,it really does appear that the government agents who pushed gun shop owners into this,did plan to set them up as the fall guy. And w/o any evidence to refute the government agents'claims he was a rouge gun store owner,the gun store owner would have actually been portrayed publicly by the Obama sympathetic media,as one of the bad guys. Thankfully,this gun shop owner had the sense &luck to have video evidence to support his positions that he &others were told to do this. In truth I think the case could be made that once they were told to sell those guns,the gun shop owners may have actually became official government agents &/or employees.
This was an effort to portray American gun shop owners &gun shows by extension,as the real problem in Mexico. The ATF &DOJ wanted to be able to use the media to get the public up in arms over those nasty gun owners who were really radical extremist right wingers attacking this post racial,non-partisan president who wanted only good feelings for all Americans. What drivel.
Lying about the actual numbers of guns that can be traced back to America did not work. So now they wanted to bolster that claim by associating guns sold by shop owners as the real problem. Who thinks these gun shops could possibly supply the many thousands of guns used in Mexico? Its tens of thousands folks,not just 2000. The guns come from Central American socialist states like Nicaragua,and South American states like Venezuela,along with the Chinese &middle eastern nations using Mexico as the agitator state next to America as their infiltration point &wealth development location by selling drugs. W/o the drug sales,the support &guns would dry up.
The border fence was being sold as the means to stop illegal aliens from entering. Well,it is. BUT,it is also the means to stop illegal aliens who are terrorists and to stop dangerous weapons of mass destruction,and to stop the flow of tons of illegal &dangerous drugs! The drug sales stoppage alone would pay for the fence,and help us fight drug addiction in America. Its more than farm workers or others we want kept out,its all the other crap as well. The fence at San Diego slowed entries by 95%. Imagine if we did the whole job? Israel put up their fence and they stopped terrorist attacks by 95%.
In the end,only a Special Prosecutor will uncover the true depth of this despicable program &all of its illegal activities,plus allow us to determine all involved.
