Poblete Discusses ‘Fast and Furious’ on Univision Radio Today

On Friday, March 22, 2013, at 4:35 PM EST, PT Law’s Jason Poblete will be a guest on “Zona Política con Helen Aguirre,” a public affairs talk show broadcast nationally on the Univision Radio network.

Hosted by award-winning journalist Helen Aguirre, the two-hour program discusses the “news of the day and offers a lively national forum for dialogue and debate.” Zona Política is broadcast daily from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM EST.

Poblete and Aguirre will discuss recent developments in the Congressional ‘Fast and Furious’ investigation. The Los Angeles Times published a story today that details a DHS Inspector General’s report that DHS warnings were ignored about the controversial gun-tracking program.
