Obama Sealed Records of Murdered Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry
The family of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry, who was murdered with an “Operation Fast and Furious” weapon a year ago, think Attorney General Eric Holder should resign over the scandal. Josephine and Kent Terry blame for Brian’s death on Holder, his top assistant Lanny Breuer, former U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke and ATF officials. “If they never let the guns walk, maybe Brian would not have been out that day,” Josephine said. “I just can’t believe our own government came up with a program like this that (let) innocent people get killed.”
Holder’s response to calls for his resignation, “There are 115,000 employees in the Department of Justice,” Holder said. “I cannot be expected to know the details of every operation on a day-to-day basis.”
While President Obama travels to swing states to peddle class warfare, his administration is doing whatever they can to cover up their horrific failings. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was murdered in cold blood by Mexican drug smugglers with guns tied to the botched Operation Fast and Furious that allowed firearms to be smuggled into Mexico.
The government then lost track of those firearms until they showed up at crime scenes. Now they’re doing everything they can to keep this information from the American people. According to Judicial Watch, they have now sealed the records of Brian Terry’s murder.
The Obama Administration has abruptly sealed court records containing alarming details of how Mexican drug smugglers murdered a U.S. Border patrol agent with a gun connected to a failed federal experiment that allowed firearms to be smuggled into Mexico.
This means information will now be kept from the public as well as the media. Could this be a cover-up on the part of the “most transparent” administration in history? After all, the rifle used to kill the federal agent (Brian Terry) last December in Arizona’s Peck Canyon was part of the now infamous Operation Fast and Furious. Conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), the disastrous scheme allowed guns to be smuggled into Mexico so they could eventually be traced to drug cartels.
Instead, federal law enforcement officers lost track of more than 1,000 guns which have been used in numerous crimes. In Terry’s case, five illegal immigrants armed with at least two semi-automatic assault rifles were hunting for U.S. Border Patrol agents near a desert watering hole just north of the Arizona-Mexico border when a firefight erupted and Terry got hit.
We know this only because Washington D.C.’s conservative newspaper , the Washington Times, discovered the court documents before the government suddenly made them off limits. The now-sealed federal grand jury indictment tells the frightening story of how Terry was gunned down by Mexican drug smugglers patrolling the rugged desert with the intent to “intentionally and forcibly assault” Border Patrol agents.
