Fast and Furious: More Agencies and Public Money...

Further info from Ken Melson's testimony on July 4th and from emails disclosed by Dave Workman:

Other DOJ agencies, such as DEA and FBI, were knowledgeable about F&F and guns walking to Mexico.  Further, public money supplied by DOJ agencies MAY have been used to purchase guns through paid informants.  And further, this entire operation was not run by Phoenix ATF, but by the Phoenix DOJ Attorney's office.

So, there are levels upon levels being discovered in this investigation.  At the lowest levels, Phoenix based agents had no idea that a lot of background intrigue was happening.  At the higher levels, DOJ agencies may have had paid informants involved and they did not tell ATF agents on the ground so as to avoid conflicts.

The evidence now reveals that we can finally call this a DOJ scandal, not simply an ATF scandal.   The big question: How high does it go?
