Obama’s ATF Nominee Entangled in ‘Fast and Furious’

Click Here: Obama’s ATF Nominee on DOJ’s Fast and Furious Design Team

President Barack Obama nominated Minnesota U.S. Attorney B. Todd Jones for director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

“Jones was personally a part of the high-ranking Department of Justice unit that first met on October 26, 2009, to create the new DOJ policy that was used to justify “gunwalking” in Operation Fast and Furious. In Fast and Furious, the ATF “walked” roughly 2,000 firearms into the hands of the Mexican drug cartels.” Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and hundreds of Mexican citizens were killed with these firearms.
