Arizona Sheriffs Call for Independent Investigation of "Fast and Furious" Gunwalking Scandal

Ten Arizona sheriffs -- five Democrat, five Republican -- gathered at the Arizona State Capitol on Friday to call for an independent investigation into the "Fast and Furious" gunwalking scandal.The sheriffs held a news conference in front of the Arizona Peace Officers Memorial, decrying the "bloodshed" caused by the U.S. Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms bureau's poorly conceived operation.

"We're down there busting our butts every day trying to keep the American public safe," said Cochise County Larry Dever, as quoted by the Associated Press. "We are here to help defend America, whether it's beyond the border or any place north where the tentacles of these cartels reach into our communities across this nation every single day. And for our own government to be complicit in helping them conduct that business is offensive to us."

The sheriffs insisted that a special counsel be immediately appointed "to fairly investigate Attorney General Eric Holder and the Department of Justice," according to a written statement from the Pinal County Sheriff's Office.

In the ongoing coverup surrounding what has become known as "Fast & Furious" new documents have been released by the Obama administration to the Congressional investigation. The documents show ongoing communication between then-ATF Special Agent in Charge of the Phoenix office Bill Newell – who led Fast and Furious – and then-White House National Security Staffer Kevin O’Reilly. Email evidence also show the two also discussed the matter over the phone. Due to such direct and detailed communication between the local ATF manager in Phoenix and a White House national security member has raised serious questions among the Congressional members investigating the scandal involving the ATF supplying Mexican cartel members with arms in a scandal reminiscent of the Iran Contra scandal. Bill Newell has previously stated that he and and O'Reilly are long time friends.
