The key difference with that scenario and this one is they maintain custody of those drugs throughout the sting. They do not allow the traffickers to take and sell them on the street to the users. The Feds allowed these weapons to get into the hands of the cartels in a foreign country. That is not maintaining custody.

Now there might not have been any criminal intent in Fast and Furious but it sure seems like there was criminal negligence and at the top of the responsibility list is Eric Holder by definition as well as circumstance.

No way could an operation of this scope and seriousness be run by underlings without the boss overseeing it. If he didn't know about the operation like he claims then he is negligent. An American citizen was murdered because of that negligence. A couple hundred people at last estimate have died because of that negligence. How can that negligence not be criminal?
