Persons within the Department of Justice whose identities are not yet publicly known apparently broke the law by leaking firearms trace data to Sen. Dianne Feinstein, which she introduced in the Senate Judiciary Committee record in the hearing on Department of Justice oversight earlier this month.
If I may, Senator Feinstein requested at the beginning of her questioning of Attorney General Eric Holder (see webcast, at the 69:45 mark), I'd like to put in the record the official firearms trace data from the Department of Justice from 12/1/2006 to 2000...excuse me, 9/30/2011...this is guns [unintelligible] Mexico.
Left unchallenged and unsaid is how Feinstein obtained the data, which is prohibited by the Tiahrt Amendment from being shared with anyone but law enforcement agencies and prosecutors, and only then in the course of a criminal investigation. That prohibition extends even to Senator Feinstein, as evidenced by the failed attempt earlier this year by Rep. Adam Schiff to allow Congressional committees to be included on the list of entities to which the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms can disclose part or all of the contents of the Firearms Trace System database.

How did Sen. Feinstein get ATF gun trace data in violation of Tiahrt Amendment?
Found it in Hillary’s closet next to the FBI files?
The information was leaked to provide selective "statistics" that Feinstein could use to promote her views on gun traffickingno criminal intelligence interpretation was provided, and the way this was done was intentional, with cognizance that the data were going to be misused.
Having gotten the cherry-picked data submitted into the record, DOJ will now deny access to the database to anyone else, so the accuracy of that data cannot be challenged.
And not soon enough.
I don't know. I've never seen Feinstein's house.
That's why I asked for a photo of it to be posted.
If that is her house, it certainly has that palatial look.
The photo reminds me of one of those country estates of the very rich in England.
Hehehe, you know, at the end of the day...There is no way in [expletive deleted] will I ever give up a single firearm or round of ammunition in the event the day comes the government wants me to turn over what they know I have...
Feinstien (and her ilk), can worm their way towards that goal at their own risk...
And they know this...
At the time, there was a man who combined Marxism and religion in a compelling new way that somehow bound whites and blacks (mostly from Oakland) together in a way that was almost magical.
His influence grew, and finally CPS turned almost 100 troubled youths over to him --he was the charismatic Reverend Jim Jones of the People's Temple Church.
They all died here:
It wasn't DiFi's FAULT, really, but the amazing thing was that NO journalists from San Francisco EVER took her to task for the deeds of her buddy --no famously uncomfortable questions.
It was as if DiFi had never been friends with him at all.
If that’s it, I’d bet a lot of Manuel labor goes into keeping the formal garden looking neat.
Wow!
