Officials at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) who oversaw the lethal gun-walking scheme, Operation Fast and Furious, have reportedly been suspended for their actions -- perhaps because of a forthcoming report from the Office of the Inspector General.

NOT good enough. Not nearly good enough. I want to see murder charges brought, Treason charges brought, I want to see repeal of a lot of the gun laws on the books like the 1934 NFA, the Hughes Amendment, portions of the 1968 GCA including the sporting purpose clause, and many, many others if the Government wants atonement.

They abused their authority and it must be stripped from the Government. Nothing else will be acceptable.

They’ve probably just axed the low guys on the totem pole.
The administration will continue with the process of punishment of the innocents, hiding of the guilty and promotion of the non-participants.

This will also be used to paint testimony as sour grapes.

So far this is bureaucrat hell ~ used to call them "turkey farms".

They have nothing to do, no authority, and cannot talk business with anyone. You go there to get in the time but you have to find something to do.

Our CPAs used to pray for REORGANIZATIONS where they'd be set free to do "outside work" (taxes) on the job.

First they got promoted and shuffled to different places.

Now they get suspended. Probably with pay at the new level.

Nobody is being held accountable. Nobody will unless Congress demands it. All the testicles are gone in DC. At least on our side of the benches.

I truly wish Holder would go to jail over this as well as Obama being impeached and removed. I doubt either will happen. Too many “R”s afraid of the ‘racist’ label.

The column doesn't mention the name of the IG. IIRC, she(?) is a long time close associate of Holder with a lot of baggage.

Issa asked Holder to see the letter assigning him/her to the investigation which would necessarily include its scope. Holder said there was no such document, that it was tasked verbally. Meaning: “Investigate, but not too much and protect me.”

Also, I think Holder expects to use this to deflect the sh!t that will fall on his head at this month's Congressional hearing. It won't work and there will be more charges of whitey racism.

If 10 people were fired and JAILED —would that be enough for 300 (but really 3,000) dead Mexicans? And a casino burned? And a helicopter shot down?

That’s ridiulous. There’s a little doc called, “Magna Carta” and it says rulers are subject to the laws, also —not just little people.

3,000 brown people dead and some folks get SUSPENDED...?

I’ll tell you what THAT sounds like:

A government which carries out justice like that sounds......KENYAN.

Hundreds of people have been killed, American and Mexican LEO’s have died and a few officials have been suspended.

Justice?
