Multiple sources, including sources from ATF, DOJ and Congressional offices have said there is a white paper circulating within the Department of Justice, outlining the essential elimination of ATF. According to sources, the paper outlines the firing of at least 450 ATF agents in an effort to conduct damage control as Operation Fast and Furious gets uglier and as election day 2012 gets closer.

“It’s a serious white paper being circulated, how far they’d get with it I don’t know,” a confidential source said.
After a town hall meeting about Operation Fast and Furious in Tucson, Ariz. on Monday, ATF Whistleblower Vince Cefalu, who has been key in exposing details about Operation Fast and Furious, confirmed the elimination of ATF has been circulating as a serious idea for sometime now and that a white paper outlining the plan does exist.
Sounds great right? Eliminating ATF? But there is more to this story. Remember, low level ATF field agents, like ATF whistleblower John Dodson, were uncomfortable conducting Operation Fast and Furious from the beginning, but were told by high level officials within ATF that if they had a problem with the operation, they could find a job elsewhere.
“Allowing loads of weapons that we knew to be destined for criminals, this was the plan. It was so mandated,” ATF Whistleblower John Dodson said in testimony on Capitol Hill on June 15, 2011.
In fact, not only were the ATF agents forced to carry out the operation, they were told to go against what they had been taught in training.

“but the probably is this guy wants his own domestic army.”
The million man ‘Homey’ army.
**** “ Why not eliminate the DOE for the Solyndra sham, and the NEA for the failed eductaion system? How about the EPA, for the drastic economic and private property Rights elimination? “ ****
Bump and Dittos!
TT
And many of it’s employees put in prison.

Where they’d still have roof overhead and food in belly on the taxpayers’ dime....
And, this may cause some whistle blowers to come forth and sink this corrupt administration.
Let the guilty hacks all rot in prison together from every level of this Regime.
Just because they are unemployed doesn’t mean they can’t be hauled into court or before Congress. Might even loosen a few tounges....
No I understand.
I love that!
i'll believe it when i see it...
No slack!!
The million man ‘Homey’ army.
Shootin dare 9s sideays and holdin up da pants wid de utter. I’m SCARED.
I have that shirt, gets great comments.
Fast and Furious leaving its mark...
This from the ATF website:
Maybe they do some good...
Well I wish that they would at least finish processing my manufacturer’s license before they shut them down... I’m gettin really tired of waiting on them. I kind of thought things were moving a little slow. Maybe this explains it.
Hopefully, in due time those rouge agencies will go, too.
ATF has been a corrupt force against the constitution for a long time now. With the patriot act, we have way too much funding and power in DHS. They always turn it against the American people and our Bill of Rights.
There has got to be change in Homeland Security’s focus, power and money. Given their history of corruption and abuse, axing the ATF is a start.
Huh? Not so. My point was that it was pretty stupid to fire people who might keep their mouth shut. Once they have no job, they might as well blow the whistle, and instead of a handful of insider whistleblowers they might have hundreds.
Disgruntled Yeh, but if there are enough of them, people figure where there is smoke there is fire.
