Fast and Furious Grenades – Another Obama ATF Smuggling Operation

4 Comments

Last month in a shootout between Mexican police and drug cartel members, three officers were killed, but following the shootout it appears that another US weapons smuggling operation was uncovered, one that includes "Kingery" grenades.

Watch the latest video - Video at the Page Link:

The resemblance to Operation Fast and Furious was laid out by William La Jeunesse.

La Jeunesse reports that a Justice Department document indicates that during the shootout that cartel members used "Kingery" grenades. The document, according to La Jeunesse, reads in part:

"…State Police received fire from a .50 caliber rifle and at least 10 hand grenades, the evidence of one being reported as a 'Kingery' grenade."

Jean Baptiste Kingery, is a bomb maker in the United States that the Justice Department failed to prosecute. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms knew he had been making bombs since 2009. As a matter of fact, not only did they not prosecute Kingery, but like Fast and Furious, they simply allowed him to continue making bombs, claiming that they could "track" his explosives to find out where they were going.

Coincidentally, Kingery was also converting AK-47s into automatic weapons.

When Kingery was arrested at the border with hundreds of empty grenade homes the following year, the US attorney failed to prosecute him. Instead, the US attorney referred to the homes as "harmless toys" and saying that the case lacked "jury appeal."

From that time until Mexican authorities apprehended him in 2011, Kingery is said to have produced 2,000 explosives.

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) believes the Obama administration's desire to implement strict gun control was at the heart of the decision not to prosecute Kingery and to undertake Operation Fast and Furious.

"When you have the Attorney General's own offices being informed about a very dangerous person who is exporting hand grenades and converting AK-47s into machine guns, and they let him continue in that as part of, not Fast and Furious, but a completely separate failure, but under Dennis Burke, I think what you see is an administration that I'm beginning to think really did want to let bad things happen in the hopes that they would get an assault weapons ban," said Issa.

Kingery remains in a Mexican jail on terrorism charges.

ATF agents told La Jeunesse that like Fast and Furious, this is what happens when criminals are allowed to walk free despite probable cause, and in this particular case, a confession.

Still the Obama DOJ remains silent on the issue.

BREAKING: “Fast & Furious” Just Got Worse… Eric Holder Wasn’t Just Dealing Guns

According to a Justice Department watchdog group, it appears that the “Operation Fast and Furious” fiasco might have a part 2. The group says that Federal agents and prosecutors made a ridiculous amount of errors while investigating a U.S. citizen who was smuggling military surplus grenade components into Mexico for conversion into real grenades that cartel’s could use. (H/T FoxNews)
The highly critical report stated that the ATF “did not adequately consider the risk to public safety in the United States and Mexico created by the subjects’ illegal activities.”

Sound familiar? That’s exactly what happened during the extremely controversial “Operation Fast and Furious” campaign, an ATF gun-running operation that ended up an epic failure, and was responsible for putting weapons into the hands of the bad guys, which were used to kill at least one border patrol agent, Brian Terry, in 2010. The weapons from the botched operation often turn up at crime scenes in Mexico and the United States.
As the ATF investigated Jean Baptiste Kingery, the man suspected of running grenade parts across the border, they intercepted two shipments of the parts, which were purchased from an online surplus dealer, and made a decision to let the parts be delivered, after being marked for tracking purposes, in an effort to set up a sting, instead of arresting Kingery for the illegal activity and stopping the grenade parts at their source.
Unfortunately the oversight of the operation must have stopped there, because the agency came under scrutiny when grenade hulls bearing the same markings were later found in the aftermath of cartel battles with Mexican police.
One prosecutor said that Kingery was not arrested because the ATF wanted him as an informant. But the ATF never used Kingery as an informant, and according to the report, prosecutors refused to bring charges against him at the time.
When Kingery eventually returned to Mexico, he was arrested and charged with violating organized crime laws. Thankfully, Mexican authorities had the common sense to make the arrest.
Share this story on Facebook and Twitter if you think Eric Holder and the ATF continue to make poor decisions which end up costing innocent lives.
