ATF street agents excoriate Gillett. "He is no whistleblower";"The silver lining in this that (Melson, et.al) are about to be served up by an insider"

ATF agent Jumper, a moderator on CleanUpATF.org., reacts to the Grassley letter and declares: "George Gillett is no Whistleblower."

Whistleblowers are people who know of corruption or criminal acts and for moral and ethical reasons risk their careers and reputations to report that to higher authorities. George Gillett has used his power to destroy Whistleblowers.

John Dodson and Darrin Gil are Whistleblowers. Gillett is what is known in the world of criminal investigations as a snitch. He is a rat who only cooperated and came forward with information after his own ass was on the line. Don't be mistaken, it was for no other reason.

Do not for a single second use the names of Dodson and Gil in the same sentence with Gillett. Gillett does not deserve the respect or honor of trying to do the right thing.

George Gillett is a corrupt, lying, evil hearted government employee who hides behind a badge and a gun and an GS-15 title. If one person out there whether you be in favor of CleanUpATF or against it can dispute that claim then post up your response and I ask the Webmaster to allow it to stand.

Gillett represents everything bad about ATF management and carries himself with the smug arrogence of knowing that he will always land on his feet because he is protected by his bosses. If nothing else, he is smart and knows exactly how to play the system and exactly how long he can ride the train before he has to jump off.

Gillett has been allowed to destroy careers and reputations while Bill Newell and ATF headquarters protects him. He has become known as the most retaliatory supervisor in ATF history and trust me, that takes a voluminous amount of retaliation to carry that title.

The next good thing he does for ATF will be the first good thing he has done for ATF. I guess the silver lining in this that Newell, McMahon, Chait, Hoover and Melson are about to be served up by an insider.

I hope that Gillett sings.

they need to appoint Henry Bowman as a special prosecutor to look into this mess. I’m sure he’ll get to the bottom of it.

So the guy is a jerk. doesn’t make what he says any less true.

ATF trying to shoot the messenger.

I worked for Federal law enforcement for thirty years and when the long knives come out, any analysis you make should be made slowly and carefully because there are a lot of cross currents in the mix. We know there has been a major screw-up, but determining who is at fault is the hard part. Keep in mind these agents are trained in how to testify, how to lie in undercover work, and how to fight dirty if their life depends on it.
