D.C. whispers--major Gunwalker figure hands over documents
October 27, 2011
Today the whispers floating around Washington, D.C. among the 'inside-the-beltway' pundits concerning the Project Gunwalker case focus on former Deputy Attorney-General David Ogden, a key figure in the scandal. The rumor is that Ogden has handed over to Darrell Issa's House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform a stack of documents that not only vindicate ATF whistleblowers but confirm the guilt of the perpetrators of the scheme within the DOJ and the ATF.
One of the original Gunwalker reporters who first broke the story warns that such behind-the-scenes whispers may be a 'disinformation campaign' aimed at discrediting the allegations by raising false hopes only to see such hopes dashed later on.
Such disinformation is a common practice among government elites. The Clinton Administration, for example, was quite adept at propaganda campaigns aimed at hiding truth by diverting attention to other issues.
If it is true that Ogden has turned over the goods, then this would represent a major turning-point in the ongoing investigation into what has become the single biggest political scandal and cover-up in U.S. history.
Ogden was in on the Gunwalker scheme from the beginning, an Obama appointee and a Hillary Clinton crony who served in the Departments of Defense and State under President Bill Clinton. But only months after accepting the position at DOJ he suddenly resigned, citing administrative differences with Attorney-General Eric Holder.
But the issue that is of central importance to any information provided by Ogden is that the former Deputy Attorney-General was a major part of every meeting that took place in 2009 during which the 'Fast and Furious' scheme took shape. While these meetings never mentioned 'Gunwalker' or 'Fast and Furious' by name, it is clear from the agenda and from the issues discussed that the focus was on Administration policy on the southern border and the guns and drugs flowing in and out of the country.
