Mcmahon voted on my board to terminate me AFTER I OUTTED HIS CORRUPT ASS. He was AD of internal affairs when they started their NON investigation. Then Julie Torres took over and finished the non investigation Then Brandon upheld the proposed termination. All while sanctioning fraud and using the excuse "we didnt know there was a policy against Double Dipping". Fact, all 3 of them had approved or disapproved dozens if not hundreds of outside employment requests. THEY KNOW THE POLICY. IF NOT, WHY ARE THEY RUNNING THIS BUREAU? DIRECTOR JONES IS ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL. Less LGBT events and more law enforcement functions sir.

A re-posting of this action is entirely appropriate in light of Mr. Jones now being our official Director. His Deputy Director, Signed and Approved it, His AD of Internal Affairs approved it, and His AD of Personnel approved it. Where are they now? In what can only be described as a blatant, flagrant, knowing AND WILLFUL violation of ATF policy, and misappropriation of Government funds, ie. taxpayer dollars, Then DAD, or Assistant to the Director or whatever cubby-holed position they had him in, Bill McMahon, drew his ATF salary AND his J.P. Morgan Chase salary. Was this repayment for not bringing down the house of cards on Fast and Furious?
Back to the original point!!!!!!!! Surely Ms. Torres, Ms. Stinnett and Mr. Brandon have been reduced multiple pay grades for such outrageous conduct. Right? Afraid not. All are still drawing FAT SES salaries or pensions. YET, I continually receive notifications that the Senior leadership is continually denying field Agents requests for outside employment.
Look Mr. Jones, we are ONLY asking for integrity and fairness in your leadership. Nothing more nothing less. If an employee is doing their job well and wants to engage in outside employment, AND they are asking for anything short of double dipping and defrauding the government, haven't you kind of set that bar pretty low for approval now?
OR AT LEAST CLEARED THE WAY FOR MANAGERS WHO WANT TO JUST IGNORE POLICY TO DO SO WITHOUT SUFFERING ANY DISCIPLINARY ACTION? YOU'VE GIVEN TORRES, STINNETT AND BRANDON A PASS. DOES EVERYBODY GET ONE NOW?

McMahon Bros Definitely Appreciate the Finer Things in Life
This York Times article refers to Tom McMahon, who is reportedly the brother of humiliated ATF top executive, William ("Wild Bill") McMahon, of "Fast & Furious" ignominy.
Brother Bill, as you may recall, soiled himself on national TV by essentially claiming to know "nothing" about anything under his direct command, and generally demonstrating that the "leadership" team at 99 New York Avenue is about as honest and competent as your average meth dealer (no offense intended to any actual meth dealers).
To ensure his continuing willingness to "take one for the team", Billy Mack was then quietly "disappeared" to a cushy Wall Street job in the Philippinnes, while still (illegally) drawing a phat ATF "no show" SES salary.
La Cosa Nostra's got nothin' on these goodfellas.
According to the NYT article, brother Tom, who is 6'4" and 270 lbs., greatly enjoys having his finger and toenails painted in bright colors. Now, we're not making any judgments here ("To each his own", right?), and besides, who the hell are we to deny a good man his luxuries?
But that said, considering the fact that ATF's top management clearly has absolutely no problem with its members violating ATF policy and federal law, lying under oath, obstructing justice, constructing hotel room "glory holes" on the government dime, attempting to frame a decorated undercover agent for "arson" after failing to protect him from criminal contracts, and of course, gift-wrapping thousands of military grade weapons for narco-terrorists, etc., etc., we merely thought that this McMahon human-interest story was a sorely-needed breath of fresh air.

Someone had to sign off on the outside employment form for McMahon. Who were these corrupt idiots? I know many agents who were denied outside employment because it would interfere with the obligations of being an ATF Special Agent.
So, who is in McMahon's chain of command and had to approve this JP Morgan employment?
Jones
Brandon
Hoover
Chait
So, which corrupt moron signed off (and where is the document) allowing McMahon to work 1 private job while getting paid as a full time special agent drawing LEAP pay as well?
Is there a heroic ATF Resosurce Management whistleblower (protected by whistleblower status) willing to release the document containing signature(s)?
All, every time you discuss McMahon and corruption, also mention JP Morgan. This way, when someone searches online for either they will be linked. Give JP Morgan it wants, more bad publicity.

You and I know a WhistleBlower can't come forward. Remember, they're not even protected by the laws written to protect them!
Now let's go feed the Unicorn together.
But seriously, you make a valid point.
Many people on this website make valid points but it appears no one in Congress cares.
They are just gonna put lipstick on the pig!
Oh, I meant change the Agency's name.

Can anyone confirm that sidelined Asst Dir. Bill McMahon is actually in the Philippines? How can that be so after Chairman Issa called Mr. Jones out on letting him have government time to have a second job? Isn't that fraud under THESE circumstances? Doesn't Mr. McMahon know hes probably going to be indicted for boldly lying to Congress? Is McMahon still building good time toward his upcoming retirement by not even being on the job at his desk? Or is all this rumor and he's (McMahon) working at 99 NY Ave. Mr. Jones is a sitting U.S. Atty. There is NO WAY. Is there?
I believe a response to Sen. Grassley's letter requesting information from ATF in this regard was due last week. Perhaps his office has answers. I'm sure you could call JP Morgan and ask for him on Park Ave. or wherever.

Pro Confesso ALWAYS posts extremely accurate and helpful information. PAY CLOSE ATTENTION. I am. In my particular case, I DONT CARE if they depose me 100 times. The truth NEVER changes, but their lies do.
Vince, I admire and respect your stamina.
HOWEVER, every time ATF requested a deposition, my attorney had to be present. That cost $200+ an hour. Also, they deposed my doctor, that cost money, too. Then, it cost me more money than I care to remember to get copies of the transcript of each deposition. Also, as Jay has stated, mediations are not only a complete waste of time, it costs you to have your attorney to attend.
ATF and DOJ will do anything to run your defense costs up. They will file voluminous motions and extensions, so that you must cash in your TSP, IRAs and anything you have worked hard to save. And even if you win (I won all of my cases), the judge will not compensate you for all of your attorney fees and court costs. ATF/DOJ know this, ergo, you are repeatedly deposed, and needless motions are requested over and over. Then, to add insult to your injury, ATF/DOJ will try to slip in ridiculous stipulations to your settlement agreement (like: you agree to never work for the federal government as long as you live). Much back-and-forth ensues, so even though you won your case, you will have to spend more money to the bitter end, and then some after they violate the terms. When ATF violated a major term in one of my settlement agreements, the ASAC told me to sue them again.

As matter of protocol within the Northern Judicial District of California, AND at the insistence of the U.S. District Court Judge presiding over my civil suit against Eric Holder/ATF et al. we will be attending formal mediation in San Francisco, Ca. On September 28th. We ALL know exactly what this means. There is always of course the tried and true Jay Dobyns version of ATF mediation, "QUIT or be FIRED". We will see. These proceedings are confidential so I will NOT be able to inform the field, but you are really really smart people. It IS however VERY telling that the assigned Assistant United States Attorney insisted that he be allowed to depose me AGAIN, for the 3rd time, one week prior to the mediation but is clearly stonewalling my deposition of Mc Mahon prior to the same mediation. Do not try to apply logic or integrity to this information, ( Our CURRENT leadership does not measure our successes by ethics OR integrity) just take these facts and do with them as you choose.Semper Fidelis, Vince
You can request that the scope of the deposition be defined and make sure that it is adhered to. Wide latitude is given and depositions are most always allowed but you can try objecting if it is repetitive (your 3rd time). That tells you all you need to know about how level the playing field is when they strongly object to your wanting to depose a decision maker in your case (mcmahon) - veritas est adaequatio rei et intellectus - truth is the equation of things and intellect - a sum at which mcmahon fails.

I wonder how many employee's have requested authorization for outside employment for a legitimate need and were denied. I know of two.
Make it three, Patriot. My request for off-duty employment netted a much different result than that of Mr. McMahon's. Mind you, I was not under investigation by congress or the OIG at the time of the request which may have worked against me.
Like many employees, my first year with the agency meant an unpaid relo - mortgage in the home state and rent @ first POD. I was offered a chance to make some extra income working for a local business on weekends and after hours w/no minimum committment - flexibility that ensured no conflict with work. Everyone in division management signed off - after 11 months (after the danger had passed, thank you), I got the response form HQ - denied with a regulatory cite that had no connection to the employment in question as the basis for the "prohibition".
Question: Would my clearance have been withdrawn or would I have been terminated for bad debts while the avenue for more income was being blocked?

It is our contention that ATF/DOJ's handling of William "Bill" McMahon is a perfect illustration of the almost unbelievable level of arrogant corruption and scorn for the rule of law that characterizes the highest leadership of both agencies and the Adminsitration they serve.
It should be noted that McMahon was not only a key decision-maker and cover-up front man in "Fast & Furious", but also played a primary role in prosecuting completely bogus disciplinary actions and other unlawful acts of reprisal and prohibited personnel actions against numerous ATF employees. These acts included, among other things, collusion with ATF's Chief Counsel's office to fabricate evidence against innocent people, the deliberate use of fraudulent Internal Affairs investigations to intimidate, smear and destroy decent ATF special agents, and the use of unwarranted disciplinary action and other adverse personnel actions such as involuntary transfers to crush employees who dared to speak out against rampant waste, fraud and abuse, not to mention absurd policy decisions such as "Fast & Furious".
McMahon has also been instrumental in covering-up numerous serious acts of misconduct, including fraud, unethical behavior, dereliction of duty and other malfeasance, on the part of ATF managers at all levels. Until his shockingly untruthful and pathetically embarrassing performance before Congress re: "Fast & Furious", he was one of the Bureau's top "Go-To" guys when members of ATF management's "Good Ol' Boy Club" needed to be shielded from obviously warranted displinary action, or outside scrutiny and accountability.
However, McMahon's days as one of ATF's slipperiest "Teflon Dons" and Wall Street tycoons may be numbered. Congressman Darrel Issa and others are now publicly calling for McMahon's criminal prosecution. It's about time.

Those guilty in Fast and Furious are being provided accomodation to leave ATF with a comfortable exit stratagy on thier own terms by our current leadership. It is that easy to understand. Promised accountablity? No. Promised discipline? No. Obama and Holder publicly guaranteed it. Isn't happening. ATF's leadership is making fools of the the President and the AG.
No one needs the OIG report to know who did what. ATF could have taken action against these guys a long time ago but the current leadership is harboring them to retirement. We all see it and we all know it and we are being insulted that they don't think we get what is going on.
Can anyone, anywhere even imagine an agent being given this favor? It would never, ever, ever, never happen. How many agents are currently facing termination and discipline for events not even in the same stratosphere as this?
How much more of this does Jones think that America can stomach? Things aren't getting better they are getting worse. And yes, Jones and crew own this. They can't blame this one on Melson or Hoover. This one wasn't inherited. Someone(s) above the DAD level sanctioned this and furthered it. Maybe ATF can get executive privlige and not turn over the documents and answers demanded by Issa and Grassley in their letter to Jones on this.
At ATF it is much better to be a wrong executive than it is to be a right agent. And people in ATF still want to serve as appologists and tell us that we don't understand the "big picture" and that justice is coming. They are pissing down our backs and telling us its raining. At this point how many ways and times is it even possible to again say "unbelievable"?
I'll now stand down and wait for my days off (again) for posting this message.

Tagging on to the points made by Davislowrider:
http://www.humanevents.com/2012/08/23/fast-and-furious-bill-mcmahons-long-vacation/
"McMahon has been on paid leave for the past five months. But don’t worry, he hasn’t been idle. In fact, he’s got a full time private sector executive position, working for one of those eeevil financial institutions the Obama Administration is always claiming they want to crack down on.
That’s right: you, the taxpaying sucker, are forking over McMahon’s government salary while he’s simultaneously raking in big bucks as “Executive Director of the Global Security and Investigations Group” at JP Morgan in the Phillipines. That way, he’ll be able to collect his plush government retirement benefits, even as he gets a half-year head start on his post-Fast and Furious private sector career.
In a completely unrelated coincidence, JP Morgan just happens to be the credit card provider for the ATF. And they’re big-time Obama donors."
Congressional letter to Jones:
“Our most recent joint staff report on Operation Fast and Furious, released on July 31, 2012, scrutinized the role McMahon played in the operation,” says the letter from Issa and Grassley. “We detailed his failure to supervise the activities of the Phoenix Field Division during Fast and Furious, his admitted failure to read important documents he was responsible for authorizing, and his false testimony regarding his role in authorizing applications for wiretaps in the case. Despite these failings, ATF not only continues to keep him on its payroll, but also has authorized him to take several months of annual leave while earning a six-figure salary from ATF and an even larger salary at the same time working in the private sector.”

I would say that Julie Torres would not stand for it, but she obviously is on the 5th floor and knew it was going on. Is this the Vanessa McLemore retirement plan? Will we now be exposed to a glorious send off for such a great man in the history of ATF?
Excuse me while I go vomit.
He has violated SO many policies and regulations, yet continues to draw SES pay. He has corrupted our entire chain of command, and the kicker is Jones, Brandon and Turk approved it. Misappropriation of government funds, falsifying time cards etc etc used to get you FIRED and maybe prosecuted. How many subordinates has McMahon ruled against, disciplined and even terminated for FAR less than pulling another full time job. He should be ashamed, and Mr. Brandon...................Isn't this far less heinous than having a newspaper route on the side to make ends meet? Just sayin sir.
