"Still, the report fills in some new details. There has been substantial discussion of two other Arizona-based investigations

in which guns purchased by suspected straw buyers also reached Mexico – a '''2006-07 case known as Operation Wide

Receiver, and a 2007 investigation called the Hernandez case. The report discusses a third, from 2008, called the Medrano case''', in which A.T.F. agents watched suspects cross the border with weapons.

 

The Democrats also suggested that Arizona-based A.T.F. officials developed the tactic out of frustration because prosecutors refused to charge gun cases, even when they had a level of evidence that would have satisfied prosecutors in other jurisdictions.

 

The report also explores a Feb. 4, 2011, letter from the Justice Department to Mr. Grassley in response to his early questions about Fast and Furious. The letter falsely denied that A.T.F. had engaged in any gun-walking. The department later retracted the letter and released documents showing that Arizona-based prosecutors and A.T.F. officials, including the United States attorney at the time, Dennis K. Burke, were claiming internally that no guns walked. "
