From the excellent 6 page article;
“Evidently to quell internal dissension, on March 12, 2010 David Voth, the ATFs Phoenix Group VII supervisor, sent an e-mail to field agents that said, Whether you care or not people of rank and authority at HQ are paying close attention to this case and they also believe we (Phoenix Group VII) are doing what they envisioned the Southwest Border Groups doing. Voths e-mail went on to say, It may sound cheesy, but we are The Tip of the ATF spear when it comes to Southwest Border Firearms Trafficking. We need to resolve our issues at this meeting. I will be damned if this case is going to suffer due to petty arguing, rumors or other adolescent behavior. If you dont think this is fun youre in the wrong line of work period.
Wow. Tip of the spear, fun, etc. Enemies, domestic.
