I agree! Here's another theory. Fast and Furious is being portrayed as a botched operation to track weapons to the cartels to catch the "big fish". I believe it was designed to flood the market with illegal weapons crossing the border and have them found at crime scenes (over 170 so far) with lots of bodies. They would be easily traced back to the U.S. causing international outrage escalating the anti-gun attack on the 2nd Amendment. Executive priviledge could only be used if this had originated at the very top.
