Multiple sources, including sources from ATF, DOJ and Congressional offices have said there is a white paper circulating within the Department of Justice, outlining the essential elimination of ATF. According to sources, the paper outlines the firing of at least 450 ATF agents in an effort to conduct damage control as Operation Fast and Furious gets uglier and as election day 2012 gets closer.

“It’s a serious white paper being circulated, how far they’d get with it I don’t know,” a confidential source said.
After a town hall meeting about Operation Fast and Furious in Tucson, Ariz. on Monday, ATF Whistleblower Vince Cefalu, who has been key in exposing details about Operation Fast and Furious, confirmed the elimination of ATF has been circulating as a serious idea for sometime now and that a white paper outlining the plan does exist.
Sounds great right? Eliminating ATF? But there is more to this story. Remember, low level ATF field agents, like ATF whistleblower John Dodson, were uncomfortable conducting Operation Fast and Furious from the beginning, but were told by high level officials within ATF that if they had a problem with the operation, they could find a job elsewhere.
“Allowing loads of weapons that we knew to be destined for criminals, this was the plan. It was so mandated,” ATF Whistleblower John Dodson said in testimony on Capitol Hill on June 15, 2011.
In fact, not only were the ATF agents forced to carry out the operation, they were told to go against what they had been taught in training.

Makes perfect sense to me.
Yes, it is stupid. Just like it’s stupid to transfer the former head of the ATF to DOJ - just calls attention to things. Didn’t stop Holder from doing it though. That was my only point - don’t assume they are smart enough to see what you and I see.
LOL thanks for the ping.
No WTF :)
Yeah under the bus and then they will re create just like ACORN.Most criminal,pathetic,POS,corrupt,SOB POTUS that makes JIMMAH CARTER LOOK GOOD!
I sure hope someone is making that and you have a link.
Its as nifty as “convienence store”.
Take the entire Justice Department HQ and send it to the parking lot to await recall. If you are not recalled in 24 hours go look elsewhere for a real job. DoJ HQ should be no more that 100 people, total.
Yep. Rumors abound amidst the dept that yesterday was “Black
friday” Will report back.
Sure, shut down the ATF... but what will they replace it with? That’s the important question with this crowd in the WH.
Awesome! Feel free to FReepmail if you don’t wish to go public.
Yep, throw the whole ATF under the bus?
Nothing will change. It will be still be the same group of people doing the same thing, but with a different name.
The "Civilian Defense Force"?
Why, that's the Obozo's slogan: "win the future." But we haven't heard him use it lately. Maybe the dummy finally figured out what the initials mean.
Exactly. 0 sees the writing on the wall - he’s going down in 2012.
Thanks PhilosopherStone1000.
