Oops, NOT Eric Holder. Exact same crime though, just on a smaller scale. Texas couple accused of buying $45G worth of rifles for someone in Mexico: report By Louis Casiano | Fox News A Texas couple acted as straw buyers for someone in Mexico by purchasing several high-dollar rifles and attempting to send them across the border, court documents said. Francisco Sevilla-Alvarez and his wife Perla Franco-Hernandez are accused of purchasing $45,000 worth of rifles and a silencer in October for an unidentified individual in Mexico, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported. The couple lives in Presidio, a border town in Texas, and purchased the rifles from a dealer more than 500 miles northeast in Mineral Wells, the report said. The alleged plan was to contact a person in Mexico and drop the rifles off at specific locations. The weapons would be picked up and taken across the border, according to court documents. Franco-Hernandez allegedly said during an interview with authorities that someone in Mexico gave them the money for the purchases. Bags of money were left for the couple in Presidio for her to pick up, the report said. In other instances, Sevilla-Alvarez would allegedly leave his vehicle unlocked and someone would leave cash inside. Sevilla-Alvarez allegedly told authorities he dropped a rifle off in the city at least once, the paper reported. They are charged with making false statements to a firearms dealer and purchasing firearms for another individual. Sevilla-Alavarez is a legal permanent resident while Franco-Hernandez is a naturalized U.S. citizen, the report said. During the alleged purchases, Franco-Hernandez filled out the paperwork because her husband could not pass a background check. He had previously been denied the first time they tried buying a firearm, according to the paper. It was not clear why he could not pass a background check. The dealer didn’t have the rifles in stock at the time, but placed an order after the couple paid, authorities said. When they returned on Oct. 31 to retrieve one of the rifles, they were approached by agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. https://www.foxnews.com/us/texas-couple-accused-of-buying-rifles-to-send-to-mexico
I'm just guessing, but maybe he's referencing that Holder was held in Contempt of Congress for overseeing similar things (then shutting them down when they got found out) in "Fast and Furious."
Appears Sly just can't help himself. tampering with my headlines now. That's okay, most people know what Holder did. The families of ICE agents Victor Avila and Jaime Zapata certainly know. https://www.judicialwatch.org/blog/...exican-cartel-murder-ice-agent-smuggled-guns/
What do you mean by similar? I do recall a weapons deal where they worked with the Mexicans to find out where stolen weapons went. Are you guys talking about that?
Look, Sly's got a reputation for lying. I'm sure he's guilty of whatever you're talking about Maris61. I told you before that we have regular Wednesday night meetings on how best to screw you over. Oh, geez, Sly, I forgot our pact and squealed like a stool pigeon. Wednesday night is still on, right? Did you know that Sly owns a pizza parlor where he commits unspeakable acts. Oops, there goes another of our deep state secrets. Let me whisper that Look, Sly's got a reputation for lying. I'm sure he's guilty of whatever you're talking about Maris61.

I totally know you're joking but Maris has gone out of his way to make some very ugly and untrue accusations against me. Until this is resolved I wish you would not stoke his fire any higher.
Sorry Sly. Since you "warned me" "not to thank you yet", I made the false assumption and I've been told that makes an ass out of you and me. Hey Chris, since you're correcting headlines (not even going to ask why), could you scroll back and correct everyone's that are fake? Sly has a shitload of them. Most of them say Obama but are really about Trump. I just copied his schtick. Thanks for the "corrections" guys.
Just messing around man. My apologies. I will refrain from doing so in the future unless there is a good reason( rule breakage)
Just kidding around Chris. No sweat. Some posters are "afraid" to read posts from FOX or don't know how to click links, so I try to encapsulate my message into the headline for brevity.
We have a more technical expression for it - Holy Shit that's big. Interestingly, that's what my first wife said on our wedding night.
