Holder Adds Money Laundering To Gun Smuggling
From a letter written by Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA)
First there was gun-walker, then there was Fast and Furious, and now there’s cash-walker.Apparently, this same goal of dismantling Mexican drug cartels motivated the Drug Enforcement Administration in aiding and abetting [the] same cartels in laundering millions of dollars in cash. In fact, the New York Times reports that agents needed to seek Department approval to launder amounts great than $10 million in any single operation. Officials quoted in the story said this $10 million cap was more of a guideline than a rule, noting it has apparently been waived on many occasions to “attract the interest of high value targets.”
