Management hates Dobyns and that cause is lead by Loos. This is no secret to anyone on either side of the case. Word is that recent testimony confirms this from several horses mouths. They simply can not stand that they got called out and instead of just saying we f'd up again they are going to defend their crimes. We all know this is retaliation and Melson is standing by while it takes place on his watch. ATF can settle now or settle later but later is going to be way more painful and only after a public exposing of the highest levels of ATF management to the corruption that they have engaged in.Because they fight every complaint against management whether they are right or wrong. This is the long standing policy of ATF Attorney Eleanor Loos. Even when she knows that ATF is in the wrong she fights back. This extends complaints and many times forces the agent to give up. Sometimes the agent won't quit. Loos has cost ATF millions of dollars in settlements because she escalates complaints that could have been resolved quickly into full blown EEO and MSPB lawsuits. She has never had the ability to look at the facts of a complaint and advise ATF to settle. She is not concerned with truth or justice. She only wants to defeat and crush agents and our leadership has been more than willing to allow her to do so. Her fingerprints are on every bad fight that ATF has picked and she still is in her postion. They are not going to remove her because they like having an unethical attorney to defend their mistakes.

When they realize they messed up why do they not cut their losses?

Unfortunately you are observing what we have all be saying for years now. This debacle has nothing whatsoever to do with what Dobyns did or didn't do. This is about a Bureau out of control, with managers who do not posses the ability to take ownership of their mistakes. There is NO mandate within the agency to do "the right thing".No accountability. The Department and the Agency have given immunity to unethical and corrupt managers. Agent Dobyns has NEVER harmed this agency in any form or fashion. In spite of the outrageous actions of the agency against SA Dobyns and his family, he still publicly champions this Bureau, its mission and its people. Please follow through with your intent to contact your representatives in the U.S. Congress. Perhaps Sen. Grassley and Sen. Leahy as well. An agency that will attack its own heros is very dangerous to the public it serves. If an agency is willing to expend millions of taxpayer dollars to cover its mistakes against one of its own, what are they prepared to do to the public at large?

"ATF is a spaghetti bowl of lies, distortions and deceptions that are so inter-tangled if you try to pull out just one noodle it drags up dozens of others and reveals new ones below that no one had seen before."With multiple senior and SES managers knowingly lying under oath, admitting those above and below them aren't worthy of trust, or outright admitting significant incompetence, we think you have more than to act upon Mr. Melson. Swift and decisive action is what we EXPECT. You have been provided more than enough evidence of abuse of authority and corrupt management. Mr. Magaw did it, Mr. Sullivan did it. Now remove the cancer from our leadership.
A report from a very, very, very trusted and accurate CleanUpATF source assigned to 99 New York Avenue confirms that total and complete confusion is now the standard at ATF. "The deceit is so thick here you can't walk down the hallway without someone grabbing your arm and telling you how much they hate their incompetent boss. It seems like everyone hates everyone and everyone is looking over their shoulder. It's really creeping me out here. Its the 'Backstabbers Ball'."
More... "Executives in HQ and all over the country are just doing whatever they want. Melson's statements that he was going to force accountability on his crew was believed at first, even feared after his CNN interview, but, now that the SAC's and ASAC's have seen that it was just words with no backbone they are again running wild to an even greater degree. They don't give a s**t about Chait or what he says. They don't respect him."
"Billy Hoover has evolved into a total non-factor. He's uninspirational. He doesn't bring anything to the table anymore."
"Chait's lack of any real street experience is seen by all of us everyday. He's afraid of anything beyond an adopted case. Now that is who I want running my field operations."
"Chait and Hoover have lost all control. When they walk in the building people just look at them and snicker."
"None of us can get an answer on anything. Great cases are being put down by fearful and cowardly leadership. Important programs are in disaray. The southwest border is a mess. Mexico is a joke. Our explosives jurisdiction is defunct. Old personell problems are allowed to linger while new ones are back on the rise. No one is watching the house and Melson is simply counting the days until Traver arrives and immediatley sends him back to DOJ. Melson quit on us."
This is the best quote from the conversation:
"ATF is in a state of internal anarchy and total chaos with none of the executives showing any respect for one another and knowing that accountablity will never find them."
This is what happens when you have weak internal leadership and the top executive job goes unattended for an extended period of time.
Stop blaming Melson. He's in way over his head. Thank Bush, Gonzales, Mukasey, Obama and Holder. They are the ones that tanked ATF.

Is it true that recess appointments are not subject to Senate approval?Is there any word on when Obama is going to officially name our "Midnight Director"? We know he is going to do it when Congress is on recess.
