The Fatal Mistakes Of Operation Fast And Furious
During the late hours of December 14th, 2010, U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry was killed in the line of duty by a rip crew in Arizona. The ensuing investigation into the murder of Agent Terry led to the discovery of a gun-walking scandal known as Operation Fast and Furious. The revelation exposed the dangerous decisions made by the federal government, and that it wasn't just cartels with blood on their hands.
Retired ATF Deputy Assistant Director Peter Forcelli reveals how he became a whistleblower in Operation Fast and Furious, and the lengths he was forced to go through to clear his name for telling the truth.
After retiring from his career in law enforcement, Peter Forcelli became an author, public speaker, and advocate for government accountability. He details the dangers and backfires of Operation Fast and Furious in his book, The Deadly Path.

Customer Reviews
Emily is the best podcast host
Emily’s thoughtful questions are always wrapped in compassion and empathy. She is able to quietly listen while the guest responds without jumping in to follow up before they finish talking. At the end, Emily give her guests a heartfelt thank you and commends them for being brave, tenacious or having persevered in finding the truth. We should all have an Emily in our lives.
Really good
The cases I’ve listened to have been very well explained. Some I’ve never heard of. Emily is a great interviewer. She’s so empathetic. Her legal experience also helps.
Like Greg Says….
As long as you don’t say “At the end of the day.” Annoying any over used. Other then then that, it’s ok.
