High treason
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
High treason is criminal disloyalty to one's government. Participating in a war against one's native country, attempting to overthrow its government, spying on its military, its diplomats, or its secret services for a hostile and foreign power, or attempting to kill its head of state are perhaps the best known examples of high treason. High treason requires that the alleged traitor have obligations of loyalty in the state he or she betrayed, such as citizenship, although presence in the state at the time is sufficient. Foreign spies, assassins, and saboteurs, though not suffering the dishonor associated with conviction for high treason, may still be tried and punished judicially for acts of espionage, assassination, or sabotage, though in contemporary times, foreign spies and saboteurs are usually repatriated following capture.[citation needed] High treason is considered a very serious crime.

Cornyn says this was just 'ill advised' Perhaps he is inserting himself to water down the importance of the story?

Operation Fast & Furious was started when the Democrat Party still controlled the White House, Senate, and the House of Reps. Their main goal was to indirectly dismantle the 2nd Amendment, by making the persuasive argument that too many guns from the US were being smuggled into Mexico. They would also capture drug-cartel members in the process, which would get broadcast all over the news outlets, which would make Obama look good, and help in his re-election bid.
The Obama Administration & top liberal Congressmen didn't mind so much that thousands of American & Mexican lives would be lost through this program. All that they cared about was promoting their agenda, which they felt would promote the Democrat Party, just in time for the 2012 elections.
This operation was supposed to remain a secret. But something unexpected happened: the Republicans won a majority in the House of Reps in the 2010 mid-term elections. Perhaps this is what inspired the former ATF special agent to speak-out. If the Democrats were to still have a majority in Congress, Speaker Pelosi would have never let Congressional hearings on this issue to take place, even if ATF agents would have still been brave enough to speak-out.
