in 2009 that the Mexican Gun Lie was a lie clear back in 2009; but they pushed it anyway. Gee, I wonder why...
¶6. (SBU) Comment. Claims by Mexican and U.S. officials that upwards of 90 percent of illegal recovered weapons can be traced back to the U.S. is based on an incomplete survey of confiscated weapons. In point of fact, without wider access to the weapons seized in Mexico, we really have no way of verifying these numbers. (Emphasis supplied, MBV.)
Other link to the information if you can't look at Sipsey
As Sipsey also notes, this is so big and in the open now that even MSNBC is reporting on it. Including Issa telling the Administration "We're not stopping the investigation":
"While the reckless disregard for safety that took place in Operation Fast and Furious certainly merits changes within the Department of Justice, the Oversight and Government Reform Committee will continue its investigation to ensure that blame isn't offloaded on just a few individuals for a matter that involved much higher levels of the Justice Department," Issa said in a statement.
It's been pointed out that if the budget stuff hadn't been making enough noise to drown everything else out, Gunwalker would be a much bigger deal because the media- like it or not- would've been forced to cover it more; it's reaching the point- or has hit it- that they can't ignore it anyway.
