My Comment: Let us see now .... a Justice Department/ATF operation that used stimulus funds to supply Mexican drug cartels with weapons that ended up killing Americans .... and much of the media ignores the story for months. Sighhh .... our fifth estate is clearly in hock to this administration.

Update: ABC News (like much of the media) is months behind in reporting the story .... but their recent reporting/analysis on this story is a winner .....

.... This story keeps getting weirder and weirder. The White House has refused comment because of an ongoing investigation at the Department of Justice.

Weird ?!?!?!? .... what an understatement. If ABC has any reporters left .... investigate this story further and report the facts that you find.
