Mexico's president asked the United States for answers and an apology for the Obama-era gun-running operation known as "Fast and Furious." On Friday, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador called for an investigation into Operation Fast and Furious to prevent it from happening again.
"What seems serious to me is that a violation of our sovereignty was carried out, a secret operation, and that Mexicans were killed with these weapons," Lopez Obrador said during a press conference in Mexico City on Friday.
"How could this be? A government that invades in this way, that flagrantly violates sovereignty, international laws," Lopez Obrador continued. "We have to shine light on this so that an action of this type will never be carried out again."
"There is still time for the U.S. to apologize," the Mexican president stated.
He also said that his government would send a diplomatic note to Washington asking for information on the gun-running scheme. Mexico Foreign Affairs Minister Marcelo Ebrard confirmed the communication, and said he was sending a letter to the U.S. regarding Operation Fast and Furious.
Operation Fast and Furious was a strategy created to assist the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives to combat Mexican drug cartels. Between 2009 and 2011, the Phoenix Field Division of the ATF would allow and track the illegal sale of approximately 2,000 firearms worth roughly $1.5 million. The weapons from Operation Fast and Furious would end up being used to kill hundreds of Mexicans and at least one American, U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry in 2010.
Lopez Obrador first brought up the decade-old incident last Monday when talking about Genaro Garcia Luna, who was Mexico's security minister between 2006 and 2012. Garcia Luna was arrested in Texas by U.S. federal agents last December on drug trafficking and bribery charges.
Roberta Jacobson, a former American ambassador to Mexico appointed under U.S. President Barack Obama, suggested that both governments were aware of potential corruption tied to Garcia Luna. The report was published in Mexican magazine Proceso last weekend.
Lopez Obrador said the "cover-ups" were not the work of just "one government."
Last Monday, Lopez Obrador said U.S. officials with the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Drug Enforcement Agency should be investigated for potential cooperation with Garcia Luna. The DEA and the CIA declined to comment. The FBI did not immediately respond to a request for comment, according to Reuters.

"How could this be? A government that invades in this way, that flagrantly violates sovereignty, international laws," Lopez Obrador continued. "We have to shine light on this so that an action of this type will never be carried out again."

LOL!!!! While they continue to dump their illegal aliens over our border and violate OUR sovereignty and their citizens murder us in cold blood every day. Shine "some light" on that Obrador. We are waiting for YOUR apology.

I fully support an investigation, prosecution, and justice applied to all involved with Obama's gun running operation to the cartels!

I support the investigation against Obama and Holder...I just laugh at this corrupt Mexican president using the words "invade, sovereignty, and international laws" in the same sentence

How about "cooperate" with the USA and start taking care of your own citizens. We have 25 million to send back including DACA with their DAPA parents.

BRIAN TERRY MURDER and ATF OPERATION FAST AND FURIOUS

BREAKING: ISIS Terrorists Used Obama’s ‘Fast and Furious’ Gun During Paris Attack!

On the evening of 13 November 2015, ISIS linked terrorists slaughtered 130 people in a series of coordinated attacks in Paris.
The Islamists murdered 89 concertgoers at the Bataclan during a concert by the Eagles of Death Metal.
ISIS later released a poster of the Paris killers.
One of the guns used in the November 13, 2015 Paris terrorist attacks was from Phoenix where Obama allowed criminals and cartel members to buy thousands of guns in his Fast and Furious gun-walking program.
Judicial Watch reported:

One of the guns used in the November 13, 2015 Paris terrorist attacks came from Phoenix, Arizona where the Obama administration allowed criminals to buy thousands of weapons illegally in a deadly and futile “gun-walking” operation known as “Fast and Furious.”
A Report of Investigation (ROI) filed by a case agent in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives (ATF) tracked the gun used in the Paris attacks to a Phoenix gun owner who sold it illegally, “off book,” Judicial Watch’s law enforcement sources confirm. Federal agents tracing the firearm also found the Phoenix gun owner to be in possession of an unregistered fully automatic weapon, according to law enforcement officials with firsthand knowledge of the investigation.
The investigative follow up of the Paris weapon consisted of tracking a paper trail using a 4473 form, which documents a gun’s ownership history by, among other things, using serial numbers. The Phoenix gun owner that the weapon was traced back to was found to have at least two federal firearms violations—for selling one weapon illegally and possessing an unregistered automatic—but no enforcement or prosecutorial action was taken against the individual. Instead, ATF leaders went out of their way to keep the information under the radar and ensure that the gun owner’s identity was “kept quiet,” according to law enforcement sources involved with the case. “Agents were told, in the process of taking the fully auto, not to anger the seller to prevent him from going public,” a veteran law enforcement official told Judicial Watch.
It’s not clear if the agency, which is responsible for cracking down on the illegal use and trafficking of firearms, did this because the individual was involved in the Fast and Furious gun-running scheme. An ATF spokesman, Corey Ray, at the agency’s Washington D.C. headquarters told Judicial Watch that “no firearms used in the Paris attacks have been traced” by the agency. When asked about the ROI report linking the weapon used in Paris to Phoenix, Ray said “I’m not familiar with the report you’re referencing.” Judicial Watch also tried contacting the Phoenix ATF office, but multiple calls were not returned.

Former Lawmaker Sandy Adams: “Eric Holder Either Incompetent Or Untruthful About Gun Running”

The GOP lawmaker who confronted Obama-era Attorney General Eric Holder and held him accountable for his involvement in the “Fast and Furious” gun running scandal that provided high powered firearms to cartel members who eventually murdered Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry is sounding the alarm once again.
Sandy Adams, a former undercover law enforcement officer and veteran who served one term in congress during the Tea Party wave of 2010 has told TGP that Holder and Obama need to be held accountable for many things.

Last week the DOJ dropped its case against General Michael Flynn after new evidence revealed the DOJ and Mueller team were withholding Brady evidence in the case. And on Thursday the DNI and House Intelligence Committee finally released the transcripts of 53 interviews during the Mueller investigation that revealed NOT ONE SINGLE Obama official had …

TGP reached out to former lawmaker Congresswoman Adams after hearing Mexico is signaling that the United States can still apologize for the gun running that aided violent cartels.“As a former law enforcement officer, I can tell you that it is highly unlikely that guns would have been able to walk across the Southern border without approval from the Attorney General. The fact that Attorney General Holder claimed he had now knowledge of this operation until after Agent Terry was murdered means he was incompetent or untruthful.”

Adams famously roasted Holder nearly a decade ago about this, resulting in Holder barking back “don’t dictate to me.” Now, as Americans are being acquainted with how lawless Holder and Obama were during the 2016 election cycle in targeting General Michael Flynn and Trump advisor Roger Stone, Congresswoman Adams grilling of Holder is all the more relevant. Watch it below.

Roger Stone called Adams a patriot when contacted by TGP.

“Hearing Obama and Holder talk about the rule of law is a laughable joke. What they did makes Watergate look like small potatoes. They utilized the intelligence agencies to achieve their political goals and used fabricated evidence to justify their crimes,” said Roger Stone.
