Letter implicates ATF in making "straw purchases" for Gunrunner
National Gun Rights Examiner
Synopsis: ATF authorized unnamed FFL's to transfer arms for cash to ATF Agent and whistleblower John Dodson without a form 4473, who in turn transferred same to gunrunners bound for Mexico.
Proof established that this is NOT a "botched sting operation" but the ATF directly giving "aid and comfort" to the drug cartels.
It is past time for an independent prosecutor, as multiple government agencies are implicated in this scandal.
