Maybe the salary allowed her to divorce him and have $$$ to live on – YOU don’t know the full story so don’t pull a Democrat-like move and assume (like “The View”)!

There is some truth to that yet a few of their responsibilities are legitimate. An old client of mine was an ATF agent. At our first meeting he asked me straight up if I minded doing business with someone who worked for them. He was basically a good guy but was quite clearly ashamed of many of his coworkers and his employer in general. He was able to transfer to Homeland Security and was very happy when it happened. It is an agency that has been out of control for some time not unlike the old BNDD. Nixon killed the BNDD and created the DEA. They have their own problems and that kind of speaks to any agency not close enough monitored and controlled. Once and if the FBI gets straightened out we should fold the few legitimate duties of ATF into the FBI or a similar agency.

I found nothing about his post to be rewriting history. What was controversial about the Holder/Obama investigation was not what they were doing but how poorly it was done and that so many of the guns went into illicit hands, so many were lost track of and how little if any results were obtained. I don’t think anyone feels trying curtail the Mexican Cartels violent ways is an illegitimate use of resources. What they resented was the eventual waste of resources, the bungling of the operation and the loss of life of a good American law enforcement officer in the failed process. I have no love lost for the Bush family but you can bet if that operation had run off the rails as bad as the Obama/Holder operation had it would have been much bigger news than it was.

Still making the same mistakes that cost you guys everything, I see. Good on you, miner. Keep running those same failed plays.

You probably know what was officially called “Project Gunrunner” as “Operation Fast and Furious” but that’s not actually correct as it was actually two separate operations with the separate “Operation Fast and Furious” being implemented under the umbrella of “Project Gunrunner” started under George W. Bush as ‘Project Gunrunner’, this program audaciously grew under President Obama as “Operation Fast and Furious” with Obama implementing and fully blessing it. Obama’s actions by pushing and fully supporting “Operation Fast and Furious” resulted in U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry being killed on December 14, 2010, Mexican criminals getting the guns that were found at over 150 crime scenes where Mexican citizens were either killed or maimed, and the guns being used in the November 2015 terrorist attack in Paris at the Bataclan. Obama, the ‘murderer by proxy’ the left wing media memory holed.

To protect Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder deliberately withheld information and lied to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee during hearings about “Operation Fast and Furious”. On June 20, 2012, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee voted to recommend holding Holder in contempt of Congress. This was related to 1,300 pages of documents that the Department of Justice refused to hand over to Congress. Earlier that day, President Barack Obama invoked executive privilege for the first time during his administration to keep from releasing information. On June 28, 2012, Holder received the dubious distinction of becoming the first sitting member of the Cabinet of the United States to be held in criminal contempt of Congress.

Several of those in charge of the “Operation Fast and Furious” operation were promoted and transferred to Washington – not fired nor even reprimanded. U.S. Attorney for the District of Arizona Dennis K. Burke admitted to leaking sensitive documents about Dodson, the chief whistleblower, to the public. Senator Grassley believed that Burke was falling on his sword to protect his superiors in the Justice Department. Democrats on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee laid the blame not on any senior officials within the ATF or the Justice Department or Obama, but squarely within the ATF Phoenix Office – and PooF! like a magic trick the democrats covered up Obama’s role and the left wing media memory holed Obama’s involvement in one of the largest unconstitutional and illegal ‘distribution of arms’ to terrorists and criminals by a U.S. president until Joe Biden came alone and intentionally-by-incompetance-and-stupid armed the Taliban with billions of $$ of U.S. military weapons.

Rewriting history to conceal the fact that the Republicans started the programs:

“AP Exclusive: Second Bush-era gun-smuggling probe
Associated Press
Published October 14, 2011 2:27pm EDT Updated January 13, 2015 1:45pm EST

WASHINGTON – A second Bush administration gun-trafficking investigation has surfaced using the same controversial tactic for which congressional Republicans have been criticizing the Obama administration.

Emails obtained by The Associated Press show how in a 2007 investigation in Phoenix, agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives — depending on Mexican authorities to follow up — let guns “walk” across the border in an effort to identify higher-ups in gun networks. Justice Department policy has long required that illicit arms shipments be intercepted whenever possible.”

Well … those aspects are tied to requirements set by law, so if we got rid of the laws that impose those requirements …?

Just a thought experiment. Or perhaps a daydream.

“At least she divorced him.”

Yeah, we don’t know, her ex may have been a real P.O.S….

EDIT – And wishful thinking on the ATF going bye-bye, some aspects will have to handed over to other agencies, the devil you know vs. the one you don’t, if ya sadly know what I mean… 🙁
