I mean, what's a pile of dead bodies, and violating national borders, and arming cartels, in the name of pushing for gun control?
This crap- both the gunrunning itself and the coverups and protecting the idiots behind it- is a big reason for a lot of the "Trust you bastards? Why would I do that?" attitude toward the .gov nowadays.
Also behind the "Trust the media? That would be stupid." attitudes.

A criminal trial is about one thing and one thing only: Did the defendant do the things he's charged with doing? Introducing extraneous issues, especially issues the defense can claim constitute coercion or entrapment ("The U.S. Government gave my client guns! He couldn't help himself!), is stupid and any prosecutor with any brains would fight to keep such issues out. Fast and Furious has no bearing on the issue at trial,and it should be excluded. Fast and Furious belongs before a Grand Jury, but not in this criminal trial.
I made the same argument when the "They're trying to hide Fast and Furious!" argument was made regarding the trial of BPA Brian Terry's murderers. Fast and Furious didn't belong in that trial, and it doesn't belong in this one.
The press conspired for eight years to hide Fast and Furious from the public, and now they want it introduced in a trial where it can only confuse a jury into not convicting an international drug kingpin. Do you find that as fascinating (suspicious) as I do?
