Needs repeating!
Those FLET’s—federal law enforcement types—who don’t have enough of it to make it into the FBI or Secret Service, get filtered down to the ATF
Just a small window into corruption into most all Federal and State corruption. If only we had the capability to video the activities of these folks. Actually - if we had that capability, way too many would lose confidence in our so called law enforcement system which is just as well.
Sorry, but it seems that today, most of our so called law enforcement officers are either corrupt or lenient enough that they would never disclose the antics of other unlawful officers. Yeah, that really gives me confidence in law and order....
Federal investigators looking into police corruption have used wiretaps to intercept the conversations of various individuals, including at least one Tulsa police officer who is part of a federal grand jury investigation, his attorney says.
The investigators have indicated that wiretaps were used last year to listen to phone calls involving Officer Jeff Henderson, 37, and other individuals, said Chad A. Greer, Henderson's attorney.
Henderson and Brandon McFadden, 33, a former agent with the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, have been implicated in an alleged fabricated drug buy. That buy involved Larita Annette Barnes, 33, and her father, Larry Wayne Barnes Sr., 59, who were convicted and sent to federal prison in 2008
Henderson was questioned about an allegation from the grand jury indictment that stated he and McFadden planted marijuana on a drug dealer and only turned in $10,100 of $60,000 taken from the drug dealer.
“His arrest is part of a larger investigation into possible corruption within the Tulsa Police Department. 34-year-old Brandon McFadden confessed to the crimes as part of a plea deal with the US Attorney’s office. McFadden will also be a witness for the prosecution in other cases against law enforcement officers.”
And just how credible will this guy be as a snitch?
In the meantime, several convictions have already been thrown out and innocent suspects freed because of tainted or fabricated evidence and witnesses, like Brandon McFadden, who just plain lied under oath.
