WASHINGTON – An independent government watchdog agency is investigating allegations that President Obama's nominee to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives retaliated against employees for whistle-blowing, FoxNews.com has learned.

The allegations against B. Todd Jones, a Minnesota federal prosecutor who also is serving as acting director of the ATF while his nomination is pending, include claims that he mismanaged the prosecutor's office and presided over a "climate of fear." Specifically, he was accused of retaliating against whistle-blowing with "a suspension and a lowered performance appraisal."

In a letter dated July 20, 2012 to the Office of Special Counsel, employees at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Minnesota first claimed that they were being mistreated and that the office had turned into a “hostile work environment.”

Obama administration can’t find one darn person to serve that isn’t a crook, liar, degenerate, or scoundrel to serve.

Obama is known by the company he picks.

I have noticed the same thing.

You will not be appointed to anything by Obama unless you are the absolute scum of the earth.

I read the keywords IN the article “Hostile”, “mistreated”, “suspension”, “climate of fear”...YUP, all that good Chicago stuff.

This guy fits the profile of an Obama kinda guy.

NO NO NO

They are not psychopaths

All this administration does makes perfect sense once you realize Obama is a committed Marxist.
