Officials at the Department of Justice are in "panic mode," according to multiple sources, as word spreads that congressional testimony next week will paint a bleak and humiliating picture of Operation Fast and Furious, the botched undercover operation that left a trail of blood from Mexico to Washington, D.C.

The heads of those departments, and their legal teams, have put people in PRISON for the same crimes they have committed, which are, at a minimum, aiding and abetting a criminal enterprise, murder, accessory to murder, obstruction of justice, and using false information to acquire firearms. Will they go to prison? No. No. And NO. They helped kill a police officer ---- one of their OWN officers, too. You and I go to prison. THEY get a government pension and the opportunity to retire (or be transferred to, say, the FBI, or a desk job at the Treasury. Our "leaders" continue to impress us with their total audacity and contempt for the very laws they use to imprison "we, the people".
