ATF Management To Treat Gunwalker Crimes As Personnel Policy Violations
Ammoland ^ | 29 December, 2011 | David Codrea

USA --(Ammoland.com)- “Here’s one sure way to tell if the CYA higher-ups are serious,” Gun Rights Examiner wrote yesterday, citing Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives management blaming lower-level employees for the Fast and Furious gunwalking scandal:

“Will they dare help prosecute their allegedly wayward underlings, and risk them telling what they know? Or will they just point fingers down the ladder, all the while insisting no crimes have been committed, and counting on that to keep those being blamed (but not prosecuted) from lawyering up and spilling their guts?”

“I would place my money on the latter,” an insider source informed this correspondent.

Low-level ATF agents have a lot of power. They coordinated a rogue operation between the ATF, FBI, DEA, DOJ, DHS, BP, ICE and the IRS.

Not only that, but they are able to keep their bosses from firing them, or even investigating their activities very stringently. (unless of course, they suggest that the higher ups have some responsibility. Then they are savagely attacked)

I know how to tie the State Dept. and the CIA to “grenade walker” but I don’t recall seeing any info that directly ties them to any of the ATF’s “gun walking” operations. If you have a link to a story I missed that does I want it.

When power appears to increase as you go down the chain of command I think that means someone is vigorously pushing responsibility down and away from himself. But that person would have to be insulated from any command above himself or be fully supported by it.

Who Can It Be Now?

Brian Terry must have violated section 1, Part 1:
It’s not about the law.

They wont have too because if they do, it will be April 1861 all over again, because of the kind of crap the ATF tries to pull here.

We want to chart our own destiny not have it be dictated by our Progressive Masters.
