Possibly, $10MM was appropriated from the Stimulus program to support Project Gunrunner, the parent program of Fast and Furious. Did some of that make it into F&F, and was it ultimately used by FBI and DEA to pay informants and buy guns? The answers are now quite possibly YES.
In addition, ATF Acting Director Melson is now saying that FBI and DEA were running informants but did not tell ATF about it. These DOJ departments and US attorneys were practicing classic silo operations (for their own ends) and preventing open communication between brethren agencies. Political appointees (like Eric Holder and Lanny Brewer) within DOJ appear to be responsible for creating these communication roadblocks.
Darrel Issa now says "...this is beyond Watergate and beyond Iran-Contra..." (Quote from interview of Mr. Issa with Cam Edwards of NRA News on July 19.)
