ATF Head demoted over Fast and Furious

[Standing Wolf]

One law for me, another for thee, peon.

Most unfortunately, Hardware, you've succinctly summed it up. Justice is not being done.

Well, this story is now reaching into the White House. Issa and Grassley want all records and e-mails and other communications involving three people on the National Security Council who evidently knew about Fast & Furious for quite some time.

This investigation is really spreading out and getting serious.

Check my stuff on Seattle Gun Rights Examiner or David Codrea's stuff on National Gun Rights Examiner.

CBS News Sharyl Attkisson and Fox News' William Lajuenesse are also covering this story and doing very well at it. Richard Serrano at the LA Times is giving it a lot of ink.

Impressive reporting, Dave. Thanks for the heads-up.

A bit of speculation here from a guy who's been in a few local bureaucratic scrambles....
Out of all the alternatives with the former head of ATF... keeping him in-house (and more than likely at his current pay rate, until a quiet retirement) is far preferable to firing/prosecuting him since he might just speak up then.... Remember what old LBJ is supposed to have said about firing Hoover.... better him inside the tent pissing out than outside the tent pissing in....

I believe that's what we're seeing as they continue to play defense. My next guess is that they'll delay, confound, and obstruct every attempt to get any records that might be a problem... until they're finally out of office. If you're in that world you can't trust the folks you work for, can't trust the folks you work with, and an honest individual is likely to get ground up if it's needed.

Anyone want to work for ATF? I did many years ago. Thank heavens I stayed in local law enforcement - that was bad enough.

Finally, Obama's solution to the problem.

It is obvious to anyone with any kind of brain that this plan was designed to give an excuse for more gun control. There was never any law enforcement purpose behind the project. It was pure political.

What's the deal with this Jones fellow?

I love how most media outlets have only given lip service to this story... oh, wait, no I don't. This is one of the biggest scandals the US government has been involved in, and if it were anyone but our current POTUS, the media would be having a field day with this.
