That was sarcasm. You can add clueless to sleeplessLooks like McMahon won’t be coming back to New York after all, at least as an ATF agent. Too bad because Bill was a good guy, easy boss to work for and never looked to hurt anyone. From reading the report it looks like Newell was manipulating him real good. We could have told you that he’d rubber stamp everything and never read anything.
No surprises there. You didn’t need a Congressional investigation to find this out. I predicate that as an SES he will be allowed to quietly retire with no accountability for lying to Congress. He’ll also get his SES last move to anywhere.

“Deputy Assistant Director for Field Operations William McMahon
FINDING: Rubber stamp signatures and false denials:
Though he served as the crucial link between ATF headquarters and the Phoenix Field Division, Bill McMahon admittedly rubber stamped critical documents that came across his desk without reading them.. In McMahon’s view, it was not his job to ask any questions about what was going on in the field. McMahon gave false testimony to Congress about signing applications for wiretap intercepts in Fast and Furious.”

Thank you for your expression of sympathy. What division? By your pseudonym I'm going to guess the division covering the six New Engalnd states?
I know it is little comfort to tell you that you are not alone. You have a SAC that is clueless, we have a SAC that is non existent. He shows up occasionally, sits in his office all day without any meaningfull contact with anyone to include his ASACs and then disappears. The Division is run by the admin staff. In my view it all amounts to larceny of a paycheck, but I prefer that over what you have to deal with. Condolences to the NYFD.

Now some parting lines from your nom de guerre :
Doctor Marcia Fieldstone: What are you going to do?
Sam Baldwin: Well, I'm gonna get out of bed every morning... breathe in and out all day long. Then, after a while I won't have to remind myself to get out of bed every morning and breathe in and out... and, then after a while, I won't have to think about how I had it great and perfect for a while.
P.S. Maybe Mac will come back to straighten this all out

Word filtering down from upstate is that in a recent group meeting he told Will Clark and the others in his field office that they are going to have to get over the fact that ATF is putting agents back in the Virgin Islands. What a crock of shit. So much for supporting your agents. Get over the fact that Will was tried for murder and still faces a civil trial in the VI. Any agent who goes back to the VI after what they put Will Clark through is crazy.
SAC tells another group in a meeting that he wants to get out of the business of doing search warrants just for the sake of getting evidence because search warrants are dangerous. What? Are you kidding me? Never seen or heard anything like this in my 20 years. Telling agents not to work, not to do search warrants, but then having the balls to make us do 4 blue jackets. Same goes for buy busts because those type of operations are also risky and dangerous. What is this guy smoking. I thought ATF was supposed to be America's street cops? Thats why I signed on with this outfit because you would be doing search warrants and buy busts. Just when you thought your morale couldnt go any lower Joey suprises you that it in fact can get ever lower.
See what happens when you take a guy who never did anything as an agent, becomes a RAC and is in charge of a group that does nothing but VCC and adopted cases. How he became an ASAC is beyond us. Oh, yeah, thats right, he was willing to move and no one else put in for the job. Are'nt we lucky that government buy outs, retirements and fast and furious happens so he can become an SES an wreck an entire field division. Unfortunatley, this is an all to frequent occurance within ATF.
Speak up you other New York agents and support staff. Tell them whats going on so we can expose this guy for the fraud he is.
If guys like this are getting SES jobs then our bench is really, really weak. This agency is in more trouble than I thought. Maybe taking some outside SES'ers who actually know a little something about running a federal law enforcement agency field divsion would help turn the ship around.
Please Jones, Brandon,Turk, anyone, HELP US. This guy is killing the division and our agency. Make him one of these SES'ers that you've burried and hidden in a BS job with no one to supervise.
