Did Eric Holder Trade Guns For Information

A defendant in a trial claims that Obama' gun smuggling operation was part of an exchange negotiated between the Sinaloa Cartel and the Obama Administration.

A Mexican drug trafficker awaiting trial in a Chicago federal court claims that the notorious Sinaloa cartel received weapons from “Operation Fast and Furious” under an alleged immunity agreement that the U.S. government made with cartel leaders, in exchange for information on rival gangs.

The defendant in a trafficking case before the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Vicente Jesus Zambada-Niebla, also claims the immunity deal allowed the criminal cartel to “continue to smuggle tons of illicit drugs” into the United States.

He wants the U.S. government to provide documents relating to the botched gun running sting operation along the southwest border, arguing that it would benefit his defense.

I wish this were implausible, but considering that evidence has come to light suggesting that Fast and Furious was part of political ploy to gin up public support for stricter gun control laws, I must conclude that nothing is beneath this regime.
