ATF retirement highlights questionable assignments under Jones, source claims

Aside from raising questions about continuity of effective management, this also makes it fair to ask if Director Jones answered based on his best knowledge at the time when asked about the advisability of putting the Operation Fearless guy in charge of the Operation Fast and Furious office. Not that an answer will be forthcoming. The “retirement,” along with a Privacy Act fallback, effectively stymies any congressional inquiries into personnel decisions, so all we’re left with are assurances from the top brass that all is well and they've got everything under control.

Bullshit.

The HOUSE, currently already controlled by the "good guys" CAN withhold every penny from the ATF until questions are indeed accurately answered. Indeed, it can continue to withhold funding endlessly - which is the baseline check our Founders placed in the hands of the House to STOP gubmint malfeasance - ESPECIALLY by a runaway EXECUTIVE!

But the HOUSE, Anonymous from May 10, 2014 at 1:40 AM, has no BALLS to do any such thing.
