And the broad-brush approach you recommended could easily be spun by the compliant media as a witch hunt that interferes with the agency's TRUE mission of saving us all. By being specific as he was, he is able to justify the short turnaround. He also is making it clear to them that this is NO fishing expedition and that he has specific evidence that is damning.Mark Matisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-40257541159083059662011-02-16T22:54:02.729-06:002011-02-16T22:54:02.729-06:00Quoting David:

It also marks a serious miscalculation on the part of ATF bureaucrats and their Department of Justice handlers, and has produced what, for them, is no doubt the unintended consequence of steeling Grassley's resolve to pursue his investigation over all attempts to refuse cooperation.<br /><br /> The stakes just got higher. <br /><br /> I hope that Grassley's Resolve has gotten to the point that he is ready find out Exactly WTF ATF is up to and DO Something about it.<br />Say like a Full Investigation in this entire debacle.

I can tell you, what a gun!!!<br /> The threads on the breechblock are nothing short of amazing and the silk powder bags beyond belief. The projectiles are 4-5' tall and 16" in diameter. Range about 25 miles.
