From the
Washington Times - The
Obama administration sought to intimidate witnesses into not testifying to
Congress on Tuesday about whether
ATF knowingly allowed weapons, including assault rifles, to be “walked” into
Mexico, the chairman of a
House committee investigating the program said in an interview Monday.
House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman
Darrell E. Issa, California Republican, said at least two scheduled witnesses expected to be asked about a controversial weapons investigation known as “Fast and Furious”received warning letters from the
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to limit their testimony. Mr.
Issa's committee is set to hear testimony from six current or former
ATF employees, including agents and attaches assigned to the
bureau’s offices in
Mexico, about the operation — in which, federal agents say, they were told to stand down and watch as guns flowed from U.S. dealers in Arizona to violent criminals and drug cartels in
Mexico.
