Former Arizona U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke, who resigned in August, admitted late Tuesday that he leaked a document aimed at smearing Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agent John Dodson, an Operation Fast and Furious whistle-blower.
Dennis regrets his role in disclosing the memo but hes a stand-up guy and is willing to take responsibility for what he did, Chuck Rosenberg, Burkes lawyer, said according to NPR. It was absolutely not Denniss intent to retaliate against Special Agent Dodson or anyone else for the information they provided Congress.
Rosenberg claims Burke is cooperating with congressional investigators.

Dennis regrets his role in disclosing the memo but hes a stand-up guy and is willing to take responsibility for what he did, In that case, he'll be willing to stand up in front of a firing squad.
Many innocent Americans and Mexicans were murdered as a result of F&F.

There are specific laws and penalties regarding the intimidation of government whistleblowers. This guy should be made an example of.

Politicizing police, national security officers, and other enforcement agencies is THE FIRST STEP TO NAZI SOCIALISM.
It may be too late. Remember when the FBI was "untouchable"?
They seem to be political tools and little whipping boys for the socialists. Look at all the liberal politicians making $MILLIONS$

No, he isn't. He is a back-stabbing son-of-something bad. He tried to destroy someones reputation. He is a lawbreaker, in this instance. He is anything but "stand-up."

Dennis regrets his role in disclosing the memo but hes a stand-up guy and is willing to take responsibility for what he did, Chuck Rosenberg, Burkes lawyer, said That's great. Then Dennis won't have any problem saving the taxpayers the cost of a trial and simply plead guilty when he's prosecuted. That's mighty nice of him.

He’s a democrat. The democrat party is a criminal enterprise. This asshat is a criminal who will get away with his criminal behavior because he is a democrat and the media protects the criminal democrats as best they can. Now let him leak the memo from Holder telling him to leak this sludge. ... Oh, ya say he would never do that? Well, that tells us from whence came the initial order to leak this crap. Democrat just being democrats.
