"Inconceivable" sounds about right. But in the 0duffer administration, inconceivable is par for the course.

[Sen. Conyers]

Who is this ?

[oust the louse]

Well this is nothing. Obonehead criticizing the GOP field of Presidential hopefuls is way more important for the lame stream media to cover than this.....keeping the sheeples eyes off the real news is the strategy.

[kittymyrib]

The ATF should be abolished. It is too corrupt to be trusted.

[Train Collector]

Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms should be the name of a convenience store.

[Hunton Peck]

Arrgh. That’s a horrible thought, isn’t it? Got my brain wires badly crossed. Maybe Mods could edit?

[Liberty Valance]

This makes sense for the Obama regime. They were effective. Deadly effective.

Gunwalker ping.

(”Conyers” Should be Cornyn, of course)

Hey, most of the letters are the same, and they both begin with Co... ;-)

Maybe you should change your screen name to "Touche Taiping" or something.

I don't know why this is surprising. These three idiots are being held close so they can be told what to say. They are also being told to ride out the storm and there will be more rewards in the future.

Another trend in federal service is to promote people out of the field that are incompetent. The problem is there aren't enough do nothing positions where they can't do further damage.

...and there's hardly any other difference between them! (Actually, I wish they were a little more different still, ideologically speaking.)

The three supervisors have been given new management positions at the agency's headquarters in Washington. They are William G. McMahon, who was the ATF's deputy director of operations in the West, where the illegal trafficking program was focused, and William D. Newell and David Voth, both field supervisors who oversaw the program out of the agency's Phoenix office.

Three Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives spokesmen did not return phone calls Monday asking about the promotions. But several agents said they found the timing of the promotions surprising, given the turmoil at the agency over the failed program.

McMahon was promoted Sunday to deputy assistant director of the ATF's Office of Professional Responsibility and Security Operations — the division that investigates misconduct by employees and other problems.

“I share responsibility for mistakes that were made,” said ATF supervisor William G. McMahon about Operation Fast and Furious. (U.S. Congress / August 14, 2011)

His statement was exactly THREE DAYS AGO.

Kenneth E. Melson, the ATF's acting director, said in an agency-wide confidential email announcing the promotion that McMahon was among ATF employees being rewarded because of "the skills and abilities they have demonstrated throughout their careers."

Newell was the special agent in charge of the field office for Arizona and New Mexico, where Fast and Furious was conducted. On Aug. 1, the ATF announced he would become special assistant to the assistant director of the agency's Office of Management in Washington.

Voth was an on-the-ground team supervisor for the operation, and last month he was moved to Washington to become branch chief for the ATF's tobacco division.

Just get rid of it. America does NOT need BATFEces.

You're right, this is nothing at all - the latest news headline is: "Michelle Bachmann may be a secret millionaire"!!
That's right - she's not like you and I, she has, like, lots of money - now isn't that more news-worthy than some silly "alleged" gun-running thingy?

SOP
Crooked Lynx Hair Biologists were also promoted.
