According to Fox News, Dennis Burke got physically sick during questioning last week when questioned by congressional investigators. Burke became so ill, that he could not finish his questioning.
Amid fallout from Operation Fast and Furious
Dennis Burke, U.S. Attorney for the District of Arizona, has delivered his letter of resignation to President Obama - effective immediately.
The move comes amid fallout from Operation Fast and Furious, that was designed to track gun buyers and major weapons traffickers along the border. One of the guns was linked to the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry last year.
My long tenure in public service has been intensely gratifying. It has also been intensely demanding. For me, it is the right time to move on to pursue other aspects of my career and my life and allow the office to move ahead," Burke said in the letter.
Burke was appointed U.S. Attorney for the District of Arizona in 2009.
Burke's departure comes the same day as the transfer of ATF acting director Kenneth Melson to a new post.

One big CYA.
People are quiting, getting transfered, getting demoted.....who’s going to be prosecuted and when?
Time for Issa to call this Guy in and interrogate him!
I think they’re hoping all these personnel shuffles are going to divert attention from the higher-ups.
Not likely.
Anything along those lines that happens before 1/20/2013 will absolutely astound me. Holder's peeps, you know...
Holden is trying to put a LID on the the whole stew...
Free from Holder’s terror, he can help blow the whistle—
get your popcorn ready, folks.
Prosecuted?! It's almost time for "Hasn't he Haven't they suffered enough?"
Where is the 21st century equivalent of “Woodward and Bernstein” and when are they going to investigate this entire mess? Oh...I forget, the current administration are Democrats.
So are the 21st century equivalent of Woodward and Bernstein.
Neither liked Nixon and were looking for dirt. The MSM today as those the covered up for Kennedy and his entire clan.
We need to force Congress to look into the whole situation as soon as they return. If they are ever going to return....I wonder some times.
This will not die down or go away any time soon.
I hate to say it, but good luck with that. Grassley and Issa are the only ones who have pursued this at all, while on the other side of the crime are your typical boilerplate unelected & corrupt bureaucrats; who are busy employing the full power and coercive capability of the Federal executive branch to stonewall, obfuscate and deny any and all charges, with approval for this malfeasance going right to the very top.
As Travis McGee likes to say, "Welcome to the USSA, comrade".
“questioned by congressional investigators” looks to me like they are getting serious now. Can you say “special prosecutor”. I knew you could. I hope this goes all the way TO THE TOP
I heard Sheriff Joe asked for their pink underwear sizes.
.....whos going to be prosecuted and when?
