DEA's version of Fast and Furious

[mad1]

Rep. Darrell Issa is launching a congressional investigation into the Drug Enforcement Administration following claims that the agency helped drug cartels launder money -- an operation the lawmaker said bears striking resemblance to the failed "Fast and Furious" anti-gunrunning probe.

Both operations were run by agencies within the Justice Department. Fast and

Furious, which Issa and other lawmakers have been investigating all year, was run by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The alleged money-laundering operation was run by the DEA.

While Fast and Furious was designed to allow federal agents to trace the flow of illegal weapons to the Mexican cartels, the DEA operation reportedly was designed to allow agents to trace the flow of money.

"It looks like it's the same sort of a program," Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, told Fox News on Tuesday.

Issa indicated he's skeptical, particularly after the Justice Department on Friday gave Congress hundreds of pages of documents showing how Justice officials initially provided inaccurate information about Fast and Furious.

"The first answer you get from this Justice Department doesn't have a high credibility," Issa said Tuesday, adding that Thursday's hearing will mark "the first time we're expecting to see the real truth" regarding Fast and Furious.

"The existence of such a program again calls your leadership into question. The managerial structure you have implemented lacks appropriate operational safeguards to prevent the implementation of such dangerous schemes," Issa wrote.

Washington's cancer...Lack of Leadership

I commented on that before the last Presidential election . . .

Several on the forums said I was full of shit and didn't know what I was talking about . . .

Sadly, I don't see any improvement for the next Presidential election either.

Care to quote specifically what you said? It's easy to make oneself out as a soothsayer when you withhold the secrets of your divinity.

It's there tony . . . if you want to see it, you can search on it.

I said Obama didn't have the Leadership, Management, or Business experience to be the President if elected.

I was told he had everything he needed from his Community Organizer job . . .
