Operation Fast and Furious and ATF Resignations

The acting director of the ATF, Kenneth Melson, was reassigned and U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke resigned following the fallout from Operation Fast and Furious. The botched program allowed thousands of illegal firearms to flow into Mexico, some of which were found at the murder scene of a U.S. Border Patrol agent. The Justice Department describes the operation as a mistake rather than a crime.
