"The latest shakeup was first reported by the website Sipsey Street Irregulars."

From Tickle the Wire, the federal law enforcement blog: "More Shakeups at ATF Over Fast and Furious."

Hey! What about David? It WAS a joint scoop.

SWIFT said...: As I have long held, there are two sets of standards in this country. One for the ruling elite and one for the unwashed masses. AFT management is no exception to that rule. ATF has dismissed (fired) low ranking special agents for a lot smaller reasons than the criminal activity conducted by Chait, McMahon, Hoover and others. Yet these three are "moved to non-operational positions" which allow them to continue feeding at the public trough. This also allows them an income to help cover costs when they "lawyer up". When the ATF/FBI arrests someone, one of the first things they do is to try and separate the individual from earning an income while awaiting trial. Most of the time, even without evidence, the U.S.Attorney's office makes the claim before a judge that the individual is a threat to the community of a flight risk or both. Special Agents of both agencies have even visited employers trying to get the employer to fire the suspect, target, person-of-interest. I do not know what GS level Chait,McMahon and Hoover are at, but it is safe to assume they are making a chunk of change. This perverted system of "justice" has got to change. We have got to have ONE system, equally applied, to everyone. That will be a major priority of mine should I survive the coming civil war they intend to launch! On another note: congrats to Mike and David!; January 6, 2012 at 6:29 AM
kadar said...: SWIFT, I agree on the "ONE system" that they should be arrested and locked up like anyone else. No exceptions.

But here is where I disagree with that "ONE system".
After that civil war, please have this included: Anyone that has taken an oath to uphold the Constitution and the laws of the land who has committed a crime shall serve double the fine/length of sentence compared to the average citizen.; January 6, 2012 at 8:28 AM
Ashrak said...: The Establishment media, Old media, is so vested in Obama that they refuse to risk admitting how badly they screwed it all up betting it all on black. But that is only part of the reason they avoid GunWalker. Obviously, Old media is just as vested in the failure that is gun control itself, but it is starting to realize that its own "reputation" is on the line.

The last thing media, especially wire and print, want to do is acknowledge New Media kicking their collective (and collectivist) asses. Even FOX News is guilty of it, why, we cannot have David generating revenues based on clicks by pointing to his pieces. That would be directly helping the competition they so desperately hope to annihilate.

Trying to hold on to the waning power provided by strangle holding information really is making Old Media look more foolish by the day.

Mike and David, you may well be being passed over in the present in the credit department. And a travesty that indeed is. However, let me be the one to remind you both of this reality based actuality.

History will ALWAYS know, posterity will ALWAYS be able to see, that it is primarily you two who drove this story into the Old Media realm with your fearless dedication and determination to witness the truth told.

And we are forever grateful to you for doing so. True Patriots of a more genuine variety have never lived.

someguy said...: I wonder which of the trio will be the first to start jockeying for immunity to put the rest of the garbage in the trash can. My bet is on the first one that talked to a lawyer. I wonder who that was.

Keep up the great work.; January 6, 2012 at 10:28 AM
Longbow said...: Quote from tickle the wire: "Before the first transfer, Hoover was the acting Deputy Director of the ATF, the number 2 spot; Chait was the Assistant Director in Charge of Field Operations and McMahon was Deputy Assistant Director of Field Operations."

So F&F, according to Napolitano and Holder, was a locally run operation in Arizona? Why are upper level managers being cubby-holed for it? Once again the crooks think they'll throw out the lie du jure and it will be accepted at face value. When that one doesn't work they'll "withdraw" it and throw out another one.; January 6, 2012 at 11:54 AM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
