Not only did the Department of Justice make gun purchases easier for Mexican cartels and try to cover it up, now we're finding out that the department is laundering money for them as well. What's next?

 Issa opens probe into reported DOJ scheme that put money in drug cartels’ pockets:

The California Republican leading a probe into the gun-trafficking sting Operation Fast and Furious is opening an inquiry into another reported Justice Department scheme in which U.S. narcotics agents laundered drug proceeds to Mexican cartels across the border.

The probe is being brought on by a front-page New York Times article from Sunday, which reported that undercover agents have transferred millions of dollars in drug cash across the border to drug cartels “to identify how criminal organizations move their money, where they keep their assets and, most important, who their leaders are.”

 

New documents detail how Justice sent faulty info on gun walking:

In a February letter sent to Grassley, the Justice Department claimed that the allegations that ATF let guns travel across the border were false. 

"ATF makes every effort to interdict weapons that have been purchased illegally and prevent their transportation into Mexico," wrote Ronald Weich, assistant attorney general.

The Justice Department formally withdrew that letter Friday, saying it contained inaccurate information.
