A.T.F. Filled Secret Bank Account With Millions From Shadowy Cigarette Sales. Well they couldn’t make any money gun-running after they got caught in Operation Fast and Furious. What will they call this? Operation Puff and Stuff?

A.T.F. Got cigarette?
NYT: :"Early 2011 was a time of intense pressure inside the A.T.F. The agency was under fire from Congress over the Fast and Furious operation, in which agents allowed gun traffickers to buy weapons and ship them to Mexico, hoping the shipments could lead them to major weapons dealers."
"...Lead them to major weapons dealers"? Couldn't they just try the Yellow Pages? Back at the time, as I recall, the nearest that the administration came to an excuse was an intention to trace firearms to drug cartel bigwigs, as if they'd be daft enough to get their fingerprints on guns found at crime scenes.
I don't remember that the New York Times was wildly interested in investigating "Fast and Furious" when it happened. Perhaps, it will now dazzle its three readers with a brave expose of the main villains in the case: Eric Holder and Barack H. Obama.
I'm shocked!...that the Times didn't find a way to blame this on Trump.
A federal agency involved in racketeering? Golly gee, who could even imagine such a thing??
