Perhaps we are getting closer to the testimony and documents to get this nailed down:

Turns out a DOJ informant was being protected by the DOJ with the knowledge of the Assistant Attorney General and other high ranking officials in the DOJ. The informant was buying guns and drugs with DOJ money given to him by the DOJ. All the time the ATF spent years looking for this guy. Supposedly this is why the ATF was walking guns, trying to find the "Bad Guy" who was all the time, in fact, the DOJ informant or better yet, the DOJ employee. But the ATF was walking guns for the DOJ!!
I think I see the light, why no one was prosecuted, the large scale gun smuggling started with the DOJ. It looks like it never was an investigation of gun smuggling that was going on, that is a red herring, the DOJ started the gun smuggling as a key, trying to get inside the cartels through the door. I think the DOJ created the entire operation from top to bottom, crimes to investigate, investigation, etc. All leading no where. That then explains why there was no trace, there was never supposed to be a trace, only guns walking across the border. The focus was always getting into the cartels, not tracing or stopping guns. The head supplier of guns to the Cartels and a drug dealer to boot, is the DOJ.
The side benefit was giving dealers and gun owners in the US a black eye by diverting the blame for "illegal gun trafficking" to gun shows and the gun culture, etc. Every Anti in the US was eager to buy into this deal, it was just too sweet to pass up. It is why no one wants to report this, except Fox, they are all caught with their collective pants down around their knees.
Hopefully we are about to go past the DEA, FBI, ICE and ATF right to the center of control of this operation from the very start, the DOJ and Holder.
