New documents: ATF had “Fast & Furious” prime suspect in custody in 2010 — and let him go « Hot Air

New documents: ATF had “Fast & Furious” prime suspect in custody in 2010 — and let him go « Hot Air: "That final bit is the surreal essence of Fast & Furious distilled to one unforgettable phrase. The last time we blogged about Acosta was back in September when Ed wrote a post marveling at the fact that one of the FBI’s own informants had helped smuggle guns across the border even while he was on the feds’ payroll. The man he obtained those weapons from? The “big fish” of the F&F indictment, to borrow the LA Times’s phrase: Manuel Acosta, who was finally arrested in February 2011. We had him eight months earlier but let him go, apparently because America’s brain trust in the battle against cartels is willing to take a guy who trafficks in “cop-killer” weapons at his word."
