#3 The administration sent multiple signals to our enemies that the border is porous and we will not defend it. This is an impeachable offense. Nobody will do this in congress.

#8 The scene, described as a remote and brushy area, was packed with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies and an investigation is ongoing, the report said.

Feds will CYA the situation. Hopefully the State and locals got the details. Issa should be kept informed.

This link goes to a local paper covering the shooting, as well as reports at mile 7 north of the border a mechanic was kidnapped and the kidnappers headed South, just in the last few days. LINK

The Texas Rangers are in on this investigation now. The notorious Rangers elite, the State Troopers. LINK

Will be an interesting to see how the Rangers investigation turns out.

#10 If the rounds are chambered at .22.3/5.56 or 7.62x39 then high probability of F&F supplied weapons. Agent was off road in high brush when ambushed 30 miles inland.
