None of the BATFE agents responsible for Operation Fast and Furious and its pilot program Operation Wide Receiver will ever be held accountable. Career BATFE bureaucrats conceived and ran both operations. Both operations were run by William Newell, SAC of the Phoenix office of the BATFE.

Operation Wide Receiver was shut down by an assistant director of field operations for the BATFE, William Hoover. William Newell and other career bureaucrats in the Phoenix office of the BATFE bided their time and got the blessing of a new federal prosecutor. The result was Operation Fast and Furious.
