Who: Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md. What: Cummings, the ranking Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said that the committee investigation into Operation Fast and Furious “looks more like an election-year witch hunt than an even-handed investigation.”
Why it’s dim: U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was killed with an AK-47, purchased in Arizona, which United States government officials intentionally allowed drug cartels to obtain so that they could make arrests after the weapons turned up at crime scenes. Is that a witch hunt?
Cure: Protect border patrol agents, not President Obama’s political appointees.
