Another quote from ATF from the article. I guess Drew Wade is the new Scott Thomasson:

"ATF spokesman Drew Wade denied in a statement to FoxNews.com that the bureau is retaliating, but he declined to comment about Cefalu's case. “ATF will not comment on specific, ongoing personnel matters. It is illegal to use disciplinary actions to retaliate against employees, and ATF does not engage in such improper reprisals.”


Who told Wade to say that? It had to be Thomasson. Mr. Wade, let us educate you for a moment - THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT ATF DOES AND HAS DONE FOR YEARS!!! Are you stupid or just the next media puppet?

Am sure this has been stated here before but time to be said again:

Did not ATF pay out over $250,000 to the victims of S Thomasson's destructive, vindictive and discriminatory behavior? Was he not immediately promoted to a higher position after ATF paid out this tax payer provided money to his victims? Why wasn'yt he fired if this is in fact the truth/b]



[b]Why was Crenshaw suddenly removed from his position and promoted back to SAC? Word is major issues, possibly criminal, were suspected. What happened in that IA investigation?

How appropriate that the Hon Senator Frank showed up to ATF HQ. Is this the same disgraced Senator that did this:

"In 1991, Barney Frank received an official reprimand for reflecting "discredit upon the House." The reprimand came as a result of his relationship with a man named Steve Gobi, a male prostitute whom Frank initially paid $80 for sex. Frank later took Gobi to live with him in his home, making him a personal aide. He paid him $20,000 in compensation (unreported to the IRS) and let him use his car. Subsequent investigation revealed that in the course of their relationship, Frank used his congressional office and stationary to fix Gobi's 33 parking fines. Frank also used his congressional letterhead to write a reference letter to Gobi's probation officer -- Gobi was under court supervision as a convicted felon with a prison record -- in which he gave false information. Most damningly, the investigation found that Gobi ran a prostitution ring from Frank's home. In his defense, Frank asserted he knew nothing of Gobi's illicit enterprise.


The Democrat -controlled House voted 408-18 to reprimand Frank after a heated debate during which some Republicans demanded expulsion. They pointed out that the claim that Frank did not know of Gobi's criminal activities was incredible to say the least.

Can you say failure to tell the truth while under oath. Isn't this why ATF is now attempting to fire agents?

And more:

After Gobi, Barney Frank become involved in another questionable -- and possibly criminally tainted -- relationship with a man called Herb Moses. Moses, whom Frank called his "spouse," was a high-level executive at Fannie Mae from 1991 until 1998. Dubbed a "mortgage guru" by the National Mortgage News, Moses boasted that he helped develop "many of Fannie Mae's affordable housing and home improvement lending programs." It was, of course, these kinds of programs that ultimately led to the collapse of the subprime mortgage market that wiped out trillions dollars from the economy and produced the economic turmoil that we now face. Even though there were those warning against the precarious nature of the enterprise, Barney Frank -- whose committee oversees Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -- kept resisting reforms and besmirching those voicing concerns.


When the Bush administration proposed that oversight of Fannie and Freddie be transferred to the Treasury Department, Frank strongly opposed the plan, claiming:


"These two entities... are not facing any kind of financial crisis... The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing."


Frank continued to claim almost until the day of the collapse that the two mortgage giants were financially sound. If we lived in a sane world, Barney Frank would be compelled to testify about his culpability in the current crisis and what role his romantic involvement with Herb Moses -- as well as the campaign contributions he received from Fannie and Freddie -- played in his shilling for these two moribund institutions.


Commenting on his shenanigans, Jeff Jacoby observed that under normal circumstances Frank's questionable relationships could have well landed him in prison.


Thanks for having a hand in destroying the economy and our nation Frank oh and forcing millions onto food stamps and unemployment lines. If you ever fail to win re-election I am sure ATF has a SAC held for you.

Good call ATF

ATF and Frank- what a pair!!!!!!
