On Sunday night, the Spanish-language Univision News aired a “bombshell” hour-long report on their investigation into Operation Fast and Furious, revealing brand new evidence of international weapons smuggling by the U.S. government.

Here are some things you didn’t know about Operation Fast and Furious and other gun-walking operations.

One thing we did learn was that over 10,000 M-4 weapons in crates did go across the border in a rail car through El Paso. It was labeled' US Foreign Assistance Materials. I wonder if any Presidential stationary was included in the formal transfer papers? Or maybe Eric was ore careful than that?
