Title: BATFE slushfund hijinks
Post by: just Warren on September 19, 2017, 04:55:46 PM
Turns out that that our very favorite agency is full of corrupt thieves! (https://fee.org/articles/government-run-amok-at-the-bureau-of-alcohol-tobacco-and-firearms/)


Despite 1000s of dollars being spent on personal things no one has been prosecuted.

It's such a dark day to find out the Federal bureaucracy isn't only staffed with selfless, angelic, professionals as I once believed.

The BATFE is once challenging the TSA for the title of "Most Corrupt and Incompetent Agency."

A long time ago (minus 10 yrs?) I read that the ATF was pretty much self-funded from fines, testing fees, tax stamps, confiscated material, and the like.

Anyone got any real numbers for nowadays?

When do we say "ENOUGH !!"  ??  We have example after example of people in the .gov not facing the consequences of their actions.  ATF Phoenix Office, Lois Lerner, John Koskinen (Why is that *expletive deleted*ck still the head of the IRS??), Susan Rice, Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton, and lots of other underlings* who have trampled on the rights of the American people.  Why are they not in the dock ??   



*- Since when can a state or or city say that Federal law doesn't apply ??  *expletive deleted*ck you California.  I sure as hell bet that is a city said "We are an NFA, GCA '68, FOPA '86 Sanctuary City, those laws don't apply here.",  the Federales would come in with tanks.  Now California is suing over the border wall.  I'm pretty sure a couple of border security acts were signed by Congress, and I think Trump mentioned those as the authority to build said wall in his executive order.  Again, *expletive deleted*ck you California, I'm sure you'll find some bleeding heart judge to agree with them.    And once again, it will go to Supreme Court.   Oh, and once the Supreme's tell the states "*expletive deleted*ck You, Immigration is the bailiwick of Feds, Congress passed the law, and President can implement it.  *expletive deleted*ck You."  There will a big and better ban on immigration.

As long as ATF doesn't use the money to open a store in Milwaukee. That would be a disaster.
