This could blow the Obama regime apart
Flopping Aces ^ | 01-31-15 | DrJohn

th

As a candidate on 2008 Obama claimed to support whistleblowers. His website claimed that whistleblowing events were "acts of courage and patriotism" that "should be encouraged rather than stifled as they have been during the Bush administration."

If back then we had used our Obama Bullshit Decoder Ring and applied DrJohn's Law, we would have known how that was going to go.

The Obama regime has conducted a war on whistleblowers like none in history. It's so aggressive that even Common Dreams says the Obama administration has reached "a new low."

"The Sterling case...sends a clear message to people in government service: You won’t get in trouble as long as you do what you’re told (even torture people). But if you talk to a reporter and tell him something we want kept secret, we will spare no effort to destroy you."

Without a doubt. It echoes a Sharyl Atikisson remark. Atkisson said

If you cross this administration with perfectly accurate reporting they don't like, you will be attacked and punished. You and your sources may be subjected to the kind of surveillance devised for enemies of the state.

Enter Jay Dobyns

Dobyns was a highly decorated Firearms Special Agent of the ATF. He penetrated the Hells Angels gang as an undercover operative. Dobyns' work put a number of the gang in prison and he made enemies.

Threats were made against Dobyns and his family:

Approximately a year after Operation Black Biscuit concluded beginning in 2004 through 2008, Dobyns and ATF became aware of credible and substantial violent threats against him and his family. Those threats included plans to murder him either with a bullet or by injecting him with the AIDS virus, kidnapping and torturing his then 15-year-old daughter and kidnapping his wife in order to videotape a gang rape of her. Dobyns and ATF also learned contracts were solicited between the Hells Angels, the Aryan Brotherhood and the MS-13 gang to carry out these threats.

During Operation Black Biscuit, Dobyns operated as a special field agent under ATF Phoenix Field Office management. At the time of the threats, that management team included Special Agent in Charge of the ATF Phoenix Field Division William Newell, Assistant Special Agent in Charge George Gillett and ATF Deputy Assistant Director William McMahon, who served as Newell’s direct supervisor at the time. All were intimately involved in Operation Fast and Furious. Newell and McMahon have both testified before the House Oversight Committee regarding their roles in the lethal gun trafficking operation that deliberately put over 2,000 high powered weapons into the hands of ruthless Mexican drug cartels and allowed those weapons to be lost south of the border.

Dobyns wanted the threats taken seriously. There were not.

Dobyns reported these threats to Special Agent in Charge William Newell, asking for protection for his family. The threats were based in Arizona and Dobyns lived in Arizona at the time. Newell was in charge of investigating and handling all threats made against agents working out of the ATF Phoenix Field Office. The threats were ignored. When Dobyns essentially "blew the whistle" on Newell, pointing out his failures to address violent death threats against a federal agent, he was retaliated against. Newell dismissed the threats and then covered up his blatant dismissal of those threats within the Phoenix Field Office.

It got worse.

On top of ignoring death threats, recently Dobyns' house was set on fire at 3 a.m. with his wife, son and daughter sleeping inside in a confirmed act of arson. It is suspected members of the Hells Angels, or close associates of the gang carried out the arson in retaliation of Dobyns’ undercover work.

The ATF then tried to frame Dobyns

When Dobyns reported the incident to both ATF and Newell. He asked for an investigation into the case. Newell not only refused to investigate, calling the incident "just scorching," but allowed his subordinates, including Gillett, to attempt to frame Dobyns, accusing him of purposely burning down his own home with his family inside, has named him as a suspect and is investigating him. Newell conspired to destroy and fabricate evidence to "prove" his case. Emails, witness testimony, phone conversations and other documentation show the ATF Phoenix Field Divisions’ intentions, led by Newell, were to frame Dobyns, yet Newell denied under oath any involvement in this activity. His subordinates Gillett and ATF Tucson Group Supervisor over Operation Wide Receiver Charles Higman, also denied any attempts to frame Dobyns under oath, despite evidence showing otherwise.

Why does this matter?

Newell was the brainchild of Operation Fast and Furious in the ATF Phoenix Field office. Newell is also the agent who was in regular contact with a member of the White House national security team, Kevin O’Reilly, about the lethal program. Newell also said he would conduct Operation Fast and Furious again, despite two Americans and hundreds of innocent Mexicans dead as a result of the program.

Newell used Dobyns as a test run, to see just how much he could get away with in his management position within ATF before getting reprimanded. Considering nobody was held accountable for the mistakes made in handling death threats against Dobyns, Newell knew he had the green light to do whatever he wanted, at the highest levels of corruption. The Dobyns case empowered him. Newell was protected and defended for ignoring violent death threats against a federal agent, he had free reign to do what he wanted. This gave Newell everything he needed to get away with Operation Fast and Furious, which started in Fall 2009.

Dobyns sought financial damages and was awarded $173,000 by Judge Francis Allegra:

The case centers on Dobyns' claim that ATF supervisors failed to adhere to a previous agreement to properly protect him following death threats made over his undercover work in the outlaw motorcycle gang.

In the voided decision, Allegra awarded Dobyns $173,000 after finding that supervisors improperly withdrew his covert identification and misdirected an investigation into an arson — and possible murder attempt — that destroyed his house in Tucson in 2008.

But then Allegra voided his decision. And this is where it gets really interesting. There is strong suspicion of fraud on the part of Department of Justice lawyers. The belief is strong enough that Allegra banned the DOJ attorneys from filing any more documents in his court:

A federal judge suspects that seven attorneys representing the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives committed fraud in the case of a retired federal agent who infiltrated the Hells Angels motorcycle gang in Arizona.

Court of Federal Claims Judge Francis Allegra banned the attorneys from filing documents in his court, and he ordered additional hearings to investigate the attorneys' actions, essentially creating a trial within a trial.

The accusations are spelled out in newly unsealed court documents in the case involving former federal agent Jay Dobyns, a onetime University of Arizona football star who sued the ATF for improperly handling threats against him following his undercover stint with the Hells Angels.

The judge previously ruled in Dobyns' favor, but withdrew his own decision after learning about the ATF attorneys' conduct.

Allegra also found evidence of intimidation:

The article gives no clue as to why the judge voided the monetary award to Dobyns [sp?]. Is it because he may want to give the guy a larger settlement?

Oh please. There is absolutely nothing this man could do that would "blow apart" his administration. We have been bombarded with such discoveries for six solid years (beginning with the fact that hey himself claimed to have been born in Kenya back when he was running for Senate) and nothing has caused so much as a stir.

This man is a supernatural punishment of G-d on this country. And unfortunately his ultra-radical ideology seems to represent the vast majority of so-called "chrstian" Blacks.

Okay, I think I found an answer in another article. Two points:

“The notice does not outline why Allegra voided his decision. Furthermore, the judge sealed other court documents, shrouding the matter from public view.”

snip

‘Dobyns sought $17.2 million, but said at the time he was pleased with the ruling because it vindicated him.

“Judge Allegra’s opinion speaks louder on my behalf than any of my own words ever could or did,” Dobyns wrote in a statement posted on his website the day the opinion was unsealed.

“He is a fair and honorable man grounded in justice. His opinion reflects those standards,” Dobyns wrote.’

Plus, Dobyns’ attorney commented that he’d be able to say more about the settlement being voided ‘in the next few weeks.’

With all that, I’ll take a guess that Allegra does indeed want to up the amount. I could be wrong, but that’s what it looks like to me.

This man[Obama] is a supernatural punishment of G-d on this country

I have believed this for some time. I have also been praying, for some time, that God would send repentance and revival to His people in America.

We have allowed ourselves to harden our hearts to our God-given responsibility to share the Gospel, and we are living under the wrath of a Living God who will not be mocked.

What BS. I have been waiting since Whitewater for a scandal to bring down a left wing administration. But its not gonna happen. I realized long ago that until the MSM no longer is the publicity arm of the Democratic Party, there is no hope. Leftists like Obama know this and exploit it to the max.

On the other hand, the MSM can breathe life into a non-scandal like the Valerie Plame story or a hurricane and skim off a few points in a president's polling numbers.

Shoeless Joe Jackson will be admitted to the Baseball Hall of Fame before Obama is held accountable for anything.

No. There is no “watergate” her.e not even a scandal. For that the MSM has to blare it incessantly. MSM won’t even report on it except in its “Actions of the courts” columns in the 2nd sections.
