ATF Makes War on Disabled Persons
[From article]
Now it appears ATF failed during another store front sting and is punishing teenagers they convinced to help them by throwing them in jail. We're talking about ATF agents convincing mentally disabled kids to get giant squid neck tattoos, having them participate in a sting operation, arresting them for participating and then calling it a success. You can't make this up:

[From article]
Mr Parisi had been with the ATF since 1993, his wife a teacher at the school since 2005.
Students were sent home with a note written by the school’s principal.

The Parisis were married for two decades, he added.
Shocked neighbors spoke of how the family was always outside running, playing basketball or spending time together.

US Government, Eric Holder's Men In Action
[From article]
it resulted in a string of mistakes and failures, including an ATF military-style machine gun landing on the streets of Milwaukee and the agency having $35,000 in merchandise stolen from its store, a Journal Sentinel investigation has found.
When the 10-month operation was shut down after the burglary, agents and Milwaukee police officers who participated in the sting cleared out the store but left behind a sensitive document that listed names, vehicles and phone numbers of undercover agents.

ATF Whistleblower Fired in Denny's Parking Lot
[From article]
Whistleblowers are often put under the supervision of corrupt ATF officials who have the intention of retaliating against them no matter what the circumstances. The Department of Justice has done little to prevent this behavior despite the act of retaliation being illegal and a violation of the Whistleblower Protection Act.

IG Finds Fault With High Level ATF, DoJ Regarding Fast and Furious
[From article]
The inspector general found fault with the work of the senior ATF leadership, the ATF staff and U.S. attorney's office in Phoenix and senior officials of Justice's criminal division in Washington. He also said that poor internal information-gathering and drafting at Justice and ATF caused the department to initially misinform Congress about Fast and Furious, beginning with a Feb. 4, 2011, letter.

Hopelessly Corrupt US Government
[From article]
"Since purposely ignoring death threats made against Dobyns, deliberately trafficking thousands of weapons into Mexico and repeatedly lying under oath, William Newell has been promoted to a position within ATF in Washington D.C. William McMahon is no different. He too was promoted and now oversees the ATF’s Office of Professional Responsibility and Security Operations or in other words, ATF’s Internal Affairs Division. George Gillett, who orchestrated the frame job against Dobyns was moved out of the ATF Phoenix office following his heavy involvement in Operation Fast and Furious and is now assigned as ATF’s liason to the U.S. Marshall’s Service in Washington D.C.
[. . .]
Throughout the years it has become clear that ATF is more interested in protecting and promoting the corrupt practices of the men who have made careers profiting off of corruption, obstruction of justice and lies, like Newell, rather than rewarding field agents taking out dangerous criminals like ATF Special Agent Jay Dobyns, ATF Operation Fast and Furious Whistleblowers John Dodson, Pete Forcelli, Vince Cefalu and others for their bravery and sacrifice to fight violent crime and for exposing corruption within the agency.
[. . .]
the cover-up where they are denying the evidence and hiding the evidence of what they did wrong and then you go into the lies under oath that they’re denying and raising their right hand, swearing to tell the truth and willingly and intentionally not telling the truth," Dobyns says.

DOJ is run by Eric Holder, the Beltway swamp creature who won bipartisan approval for his nomination -- even after putting political interests ahead of security interests at the Clinton Justice Department in pushing presidential pardons for both big donor Marc Rich and several Puerto Rican FALN terrorists.

Holder's Role in ATF Scandal Not Good
[From article]
"“How is it that the No. 2, 3, 4 at Justice all knew about this program, but the No. 1 didn’t?,” Mr. Issa said. “Is it because he said ‘don’t tell me’? Is it because they knew what they were doing is wrong, and they were protecting their boss? Or is it that Eric Holder is just so disconnected … ?
“Whichever it is — he knew and he’s lied to Congress, or he didn’t know, and he’s so detached that he wasn’t doing his job — that really probably is for the administration to make a decision on, sooner not later,” Mr. Issa said.

FBI Informants Moving Guns to Mexico
Here is one more exercise in FBI criminal abuses. James Bulger indicted for 19 homicides in Boston remained hidden for 16 years. The FBI could not find him. Ahem! Without ATF knowledge the FBI paid at least six criminals to run guns to Mexico, in the name of good, learning how they were smuggled. One hidden agenda of the FBI in Boston was to eliminate the Italian American crime families to give Irish criminals a monopoly on crime in Boston. Now the FBI was helping to smuggle guns to Mexico. Was their hidden agenda there to extend the Irish criminal empire to Mexico? The FBI is run by homosexuals since its formation under the closet case J. Edgar Hoover. How much FBI government influence was used to advance the homosexual agenda across the nation? The homosexual lobby now runs the state government in Massachusetts, the city government in Cambridge MA, and several state court systems. When will there be a will to investigate institutionalized criminal abuses of power by the FBI? Using informants, FBI agents conducted 40 years of character assassination, unconscionable exploitation (using me for 15 years, to fight crime without pay, then allowing the crime families to retaliate for 25 years), theft of money and intellectual property (personal journals stolen and sold to local police and crime families). Voters and taxpayers lack interest in multiple homicides by the Boston FBI. They couldn't care less about 40 years of less than lethal criminal abuses in three states.

ATF Scandal Jeopardizes Eric Holder
[From article]
"The ATF's acting director, Kenneth Melson, has been singing like a canary to congressional investigators as he pushes back against administration pressure for him to resign and take the fall for something that, at the very least, had to include the US Attorney's Office, the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration and possibly the Homeland Security Department.
[. . .]
"Let me be clear," Issa wrote to Melson in April, "we are not conducting a concurrent investigation with the Department of Justice, but rather an independent investigation of the Department of Justice."
[. . .]
The best way to disinfect the putrid mess that is Operation Fast and Furious is to expose it to sunlight."
