Lets not forget that main Justice and multiple U.S. Attorneys Office Across the country are Purposefully defending managers they KNOW are corrupt.  Guess that whole " Justice" thing and an "Officer of the Court" escapes them as well.
I thought the below was worthy of re-posting in this area.

Senator Grassley and Chairman Issa have demanded responses from OUR ACTING Director. Multiple times. Our Director has flat out refused a response deferring to main Justice. HOWEVER, it is NOT main Justice who so poorly mismanaged an out of control U.S.
Attorneys office in Reno. It was NOT main justice BUT OUR LEADERSHIP, SF ASAC Jeff Vind and SAC Herkins, in concert with Mr. Brandon, Jones and Turk who turned their backs on ATF, our Agents AND our mission. Have any of them been demoted, relieved of leadership positions? No in fact, they have disregarded virtually every recommendation by the Field Agent Advisory Panel and decided to thumb their nose at the Bureau and those who do this job day in and day out. Why? They are all leaving as fast as they can. Ms. Torres signs off on double dipping with Brandon and Jones concurrence in direct violation of policy and law, and what happens?  Julie Keeps her SES and goes to Tampa. Gillette marches in throws his gear on the desk and say when his sick leave is exhausted, hes gone. Hoover gone.  Mr. Jones has already said hes gone after the election with his buddy Holder. He clearly came to ATF to tamp down the effects of fast and furious and had NO intention of righting this Agency.  DAG already wants Brandon gone for his approval of McMahons full time outside employment.  THAT people is why none of our leadership can look in the camera or the mirror and answer Congress" questions. This undermines what we do and undermines the entire Department of Justice. Mr. Jones, we as ATF Agents answer all questions, our head held high, even when mistakes are made and that why local law enforcement trusts us. YOU and yours are EXACTLY why nobody trusts us. If you had ever been in the field you'd know, when someone WONT answer questions, its generally because they are guilty of what they are accused of. You have damaged this Bureau and its Agents and you have accomplished your mission. Keep the field off the AG and White House. Noble cause for an officer of the court. Safe trip home, this destruction will be your legacy. Important to point out, OUR EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP HAS PROTECTED AND EVEN ADVANCED THE CAUSE OF EVERY MANAGER INVOLVED IN FAST AND FURIOUS AND DONE SO WITHOUT ACCOUNTABILITY AND IMPUNITY. Those days are over soon.

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?

If so many people were not harmed, this would be funny.

Hard intel says Newell, Gillette, Voth and McCallister are in DC reviewing the OIG draft. Normally that wouldn't be a big deal BUT, there are criminal implications here and this is paramount to letting a suspect review an ongoing investigation.PREDICTION, Mr. Jones and Holder will dish out severe spanking while mitigating this entire thing BEFORE the OIG report is published publicly, giving the illusion of decisiveness. TOO LATE Gentlemen. The time for decisiveness was a year ago when Bill Newell said "I don't see it as walking guns". Now everybody sees it for what it is, smoke and mirrors. Charles Manson didn't think he was guilty of Murder either, just because he didn't pull the trigger. Lets poll the family's, the fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters of the three hundred Mexicans who have been killed because YOU DIDN'T WALK GUNS. Is this Agency's leadership completely void of ethics and integrity?

Each and EVERY day, that Bill McMahon is allowed to hold both jobs, Mr. Jones is breaking the law and EVERY ethical standard previously held by this agency. NO MATTER his justification. So much for the Department of "JUSTICE". How many grievances and EEOC complaints have been filed and are still pending because the ATF "leadership" has denied line agents approval to work a minimal side job?There are currently attacks being logged by Martin and crew against an agent who has had an outside job for over 5 years, but are using that issue as a payback.
