Over the weekend, two big news items regarding Operation Fast and Furious were released and you should know about them as the scandal continues to develop.
Late Friday night, the wrongful death lawsuit against the government from the Terry Family was dropped in federal court. As a reminder, Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was killed in December 2010 and guns from Operation Fast and Furious were left at his murder scene. In their case against the government, the family argued, "ATF's failures were not only negligent but in violation of ATF's own policies and procedures," leading to his murder in Arizona's Peck Canyon. Violations of policies and procedures included allowing 2500 semi-automatic rifles to "walk" into Mexico and into the hands of violent cartel members.
