A congressional exchange, in the future, direct from my crystal ball to your eyes:
Issa: Mr President, I would now draw your attention to page 16 of the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, which states:
Quote:
For an additional amount for "State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance", $40,000,000, for competitive grants to provide assistance and equipment to local law enforcement along the Southern border and in High-Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas to combat criminal narcotics activity stemming from the Southern border, of which $10,000,000 shall be transferred to "Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Salaries and Expenses" for the ATF Project Gunrunner.

Issa: Mr. President, if you had no prior knowledge of Project Gunrunner, how then did this verbiage get into your stimulus package?
