One thing that all used to ride with was an objective federal government. Its so destructive. It started with Lois Lerner under Obama and is now spread.

I think that the deadly "Fast and Furious" scam of the Holder D.o.J. may have preceded the Lois Lerner scandal. But your point is well taken.

And F&F was originally a Bush era idea.

So, in other words, this was happening long before Lerner.

Incorrect. Fast and Furious began in 2009 and was originated under Obama. Only after the program became a public disaster did the DOJ institute its "what about" effort to point the finger at Bush. Even then, the link was a joke---they were trying to draw a comparison to a Bush era operation that monitored some gunrunners---but held off arresting them---hoping they might lead the DOJ to bigger fish. Thats quite a reach to call that the same as the DOJ actually selling guns to cartels. It wasnt Fast and Furious and it wasnt really anything like what the DOJ did under Fast and Furious.
