Republican Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona told The Daily Caller on Wednesday that Obama administration officials responsible for Operation Fast and Furious might be accessories to murder.

“We’re talking about consequences of criminal activity, where we actually allowed guns to walk into the hands of criminals, where our livelihoods are at risk,” Gosar said in a phone interview. “When you facilitate that and a murder or a felony occurs, you’re called an accessory. That means that there’s criminal activity.”

Gosar said the government should be held to the same standard as everyone else. Fast and Furious weapons were used to kill U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry, as well as scores of Mexican citizens, and he thinks administration officials should be held accountable.

“We impugn the private sector, we impugn main street America, and the bureaucracy cannot be held to any different standard whatsoever,” Gosar told TheDC, insisting that Justice Department and ATF officials “intentionally — intentionally — violated the law.”

Gosar said the administration was “showing an intentional, wanton disregard for the law,” and that “there’s got to be consequences for that.”

“Leadership has a price,” he added.

Gosar said he’s confident the Congressional investigation into Operation Fast and Furious will eventually include either the State Department, the Department of Homeland Security, or both.

“I’ve said all along, you’re dealing with a foreign country, you’re talking about an international border — that’s the Secretary of State and of Homeland Security,” Gosar said. “If you weren’t briefing them, it’s even worse that we had vigilantes from DOJ going unchecked and we did not tell our folks in Mexico about this.”

The people involved, no matter who they are, should be held to the same laws as anyone else. It will be a huge injustice if all involved don't go to prison. They should get extra time for being in the positions they are in.

Totally agree. Our bp agents need support just like our troops in the military, They are there protecting our country. They have their families there also and sometimes they are put in jeopardy too.

I knew this was coming. I can't believe Holder would be so stupid to ever condone such an action. This is just one more nail in the coffin which tells me, our present government does not even have a clue!

The sad part of all this is that no one in our government will ever be held accountable for the crimes that were comitted and the family of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry are left to pick up the pieces of their life that our own DOJ tore apart.
