I believe that the ATF (now BATF) has been worse. Its agents have always had a bad rep.
Maybe, I just remember as a kid all the stories about J. Edgar Hoover and how much of a criminal he was. I think the FBI, BATF and the rest of the alphabet agencies, many of them are clandestine and we have no idea what they do or who they are, need to be eliminated or “reimagined” into something worthy.
