Memo Shows Early ATF Concern
on Fast and Furious Probe
Despite Claims

December 5, 2011

Printer Friendly | Email |

(GunReports.com) -- While federal officials publicly denounced a lone whistleblower and told Congress the Obama administration had done everything it could to stop guns from going to Mexico, administration officials had signs that Fast and Furious investigators were losing track of weapons, a new memo obtained exclusively by Fox News suggests.

The memo, written in early February by Agent Gary Styers with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, appears to corroborate allegations made a few weeks earlier by whistleblower ATF Agent John Dodson about the gunrunning probe. It also conflicts with a letter from Assistant Attorney General Ron Weich to Congress, in which he insisted, "The allegation ... that ATF ‘sanctioned’ or otherwise knowingly allowed the sale of assault weapons ... is false.”

There are so many people who must be keeping mum about this cluster-party that when this starts to unravel and they start getting scared the number of guys trying to 'come out' as late date whistleblowers in order to avoid prosecution, or trying to make deals, is going to look like an Occupy protest.

These people remind me of a fungus. Potentially lethal, viral, and difficult to get rid of.

Of course there was concern early on in the BATFE..... Criminals always keep a watchful eye toward getting caught at their nefarious activities.

there's a fungus amon-g us!

Jeez, david b, I don't think I've heard that expression....."There's a fungus among us"..... since I graduated from college back in 1963!

It was a rock song back in the days of "Short Shorts" and "Purple People Eater". I gave them all to my baby sister, so she's got the 45 rpm copies now. She made me some tapes of them all once, but I have no idea where those are today. I even used to have some of the old Jo Stafford war-time recordings.

I know exactly where you are coming from, david b. I have a fairly good sized collection of CDs of the old 40s, 50s, and 60s hits. The digitally remastered sound quality is pretty good too. And.....they DO bring back some memories!

This is a bit off topic, but I have kids in the 'music business', and they tell me that vinyl records have better sound quality than any tape format ever had, and that tape formatted recordings are still better than digital formats - AND that the older digital formats (e.g. a .wav file) are still better sound than the new mp3 formatted stuff all the kids download. They think it's 'clearer' but that's because it's compressed so much that you just don't get any of the subtleties of sounds produced by vocalists and musicians.

So stick with your vinyl!

Yeah, david, I've heard the same thing. The true purist audiophiles still tout the virtues of the vinyl discs.
