El Chapo had 'Fast & Furious' .50 cal rifle at his hideout
2016-01-20
[Nat Review] A .50-caliber rifle found at Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman's hideout in Mexico was funneled through the gun-smuggling investigation known as Fast and Furious, sources confirmed Tuesday to Fox News.
Read me that serial number one more time please. Yep, that's it !
A .50-caliber is a massive rifle that can stop a car, or as it was intended, take down a helicopter.

After the raid on Jan. 8 in the city of Los Mochis that killed five of his men and wounded one Mexican marine, officials found a number of weapons inside the house Guzman was staying, including the rifle, officials said. When agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives checked serial numbers of the eight weapons found in his possession, they found one of the two .50-caliber weapons traced back to the ATF program, sources said.

#3  Chapos Sinaloa Cartel operations are big in Chicago. As soon as the Chicago regime occupied the oval office they ordered guns to be walked to Chapos cartel. If extradited it will be a looong time before Chapo is allowed on a court room stand this side of the border.

#1  Surprised that it was a F&F weapon? No, not at all. Surprised the BATF inventory was made public? Yes, very much surprised.
