Video - ATF whistleblower speaks with CBS News - Mar. 3, 2011
The SHTF at the BATF recently when one of the hundreds of guns they purposely allowed to be bought illegally in the U.S. was directly linked to the killing of U.S. Border Patrol agent last year.
We wouldn't normally cover this kind of story, but it turns out that the Department of Justice was closely involved and gave their approval to the ATF operation, just as they colluded with Bank of America to destroy Wikileaks and Glenn Greenwald. The ATF whistleblower in the clip above claims that when he went to the Justice Department's inspector general with his concerns, he was ignored. Unbelievable.
When it comes to financial crimes, the DOJ has been totally AWOL, but in this case they just plain screwed up -- massively. And the irony of all ironies is that when the government actually intends to enforce the law, as they ostensibly did in this case, they go about it by hatching a plan to deliberately not enforce the law, hoping to land bigger fish later on.
Another Eric Holder DOJ failure.
