"It makes you wonder what they're going to do with all those magazines," Jauregui said.
No, it doesn't. They're going to kill people with them.
Meanwhile the exquisitely hypocritical good ole U.S. of A. is in a third war now to supposedly (if you believe the lies) "protect civilians".
Like the hundreds killed in Mexico. With guns sent there intentionally. Hmmm. By the George Bush / Obama ROE, we have supported the terrorists in Mexico (leading to civilian deaths), and should be invaded and bombed into submission.
The irony is so thick, I can't stand it.

"I am writing to MEMORIALIZE [emphasis mine BC] my serious concerns " Cummings is a JD and he cannot write any better than that? He wants to "COMMEMORATE/PRESERVE THE MEMORY OF" his concerns? I would have expected him to want to EXPRESS his concerns, or advise Congressman Issa of his concerns, not commemorate them.
Isn't this the same knothead who was worried that Guam would capsize if everyone went to the same side of the island at the same time?
I pity the people who he "represents". How did he get a law degree with no better command of the English language than that?
Sheesh!

This thing just keeps getting better! Now we have concrete proof, thanks to Wikileaks, that the US government absolutely knew that cartel guns were coming from central America. They were saying one thing in private and another in public, in a conspiracy to infringe upon Americans' 2nd Amendment freedoms.
This criminal regime in Washington needs to be taken down.

Oh dear, they should've joined the appropriate guild.

"All Power corrupts..." (Lord Acton); re-assert the appropriate limits on their powers, and it doesn't matter so much who is in there and how corrupt they are, the damage which they can do is limited.
Re stating Lord Acton as; "All who are corrupt seek power, and those who are absolutely corrupt, seek absolute power",
suggests, that once the powers are restored within their proper boundaries and with their correct separations, then politics will be less appealing for those who are corrupt.
I guess it's a chicken and egg situation. Problem seems to be that too many people appear to think that with the right person as dictator, utopia will be achieved.

Cummings used the term correctly.

Only solution to get the answers Issa et al want and need, if they have the brass cajones enough = TOTALLY DEFUND THE ATF!! No more money for anything - period! Operations, salaries, wages, supplies - anything.
Since they are a totally un-Constitutional agency anyway, I shed no tears for anybody that works within the ATF. Especially those up on the Fifth Floor of the Concrete Asshole of the Universe.
EL PASO - Nearly 150 AK-47 magazines and 6,000 rounds of ammunition headed into Mexico were seized by U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers as part of the agency's southbound operations at the Stanton Bridge in El Paso this week, officials said.
Jose Guadalupe Hernandez Loya, a 38-year-old Mexican national who lives in Juarez, faces federal weapons smuggling charges after the magazines and ammunition were found in his 1999 Chevrolet Express van. He remained in the El Paso County Jail without bond Friday.
Chief Ruben Jauregui, public affairs liaison with CPB, said no weapons were found during the inspection. The contraband was found hidden in the upper front roof compartment of the vehicle. A M4 magazine was also found.
"It makes you wonder what they're going to do with all those magazines," Jauregui said.
He forgot to get the ATF permit for that from "Gunwalker Bill" Newell.
This is the third subpoena issued by the committee under Mr. Issa’s chairmanship. The first was to Bank of America, seeking documents about Countrywide’s practice of offering sweetheart loans to favored borrowers. (Bank of America acquired Countrywide in 2008.) The second was to two employees of the Department of Homeland Security about the department’s handling of requests made under the Freedom of Information Act.
I am writing to memorialize my serious concerns with the unilateral subpoena you issued last night to the Department of Justice, despite my objection. I am providing copies of this letter to all Members of the Committee because they were not informed about the objections raised by the Department of Justice before you issued the subpoena and were not provided an opportunity to deliberate on this significant action by the Committee.
Jerry Seper also forced to take note of subpoenas. "House panel subpoenas ATF for documents on gun program." Welcome to the party, pal. We're looking forward to some regular investigative reporting out of Jerry. He's apparently gotten lazy since the Clinton administration.
