Four of six agents from the Reno office of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives have transferred in a rift with federal prosecutors, and the departures have left the northern Nevada region ill-equipped to investigate illegal weapon and drug activity, a newspaper investigation found.

There is a story here, but facts are very sparse. When a U.S. Attorney refuses to take cases from the ATF, why? is the most important question. I would like to know the inside story from the U.S. Attorney viewpoint.

Those that know, ain’t sayin’. And that includes the joke-of-a-news-media we have these days.

“the departures have left the northern Nevada region ill-equipped to investigate illegal weapon and drug activity, a newspaper investigation found”.

Oh really? Well anyone of the persuasions mentioned should
be cementing their moving plans shouldn’t they?

So one has to ask, how did the media figure this out, and are they part of the solution or just part of the problem?

So many questions.

"There is a story here, but facts are very sparse."

From the article: "...pointed a finger at Assistant U.S. Attorney Sue Fahami."

Results of a simple online search leaves me wondering what the media is concealing and why?

I quickly found many results for "Sue Fahimi" and without the time to check then all out, I still quickly found a very notable one:

"Marich Pleads Guilty, Fahami Exonerated":

"Wednesday just two days after Marich pled guilty, a spokeswoman for the US attorney’s office announced that the ex- city councilman’s ex wife who is also an assistant US Attorney would not be prosecuted in relation to the case."

"...embezzling at least $3.7 million and perhaps more than twice that amount..."

"In the plea bargain Marich maintains that he and he alone that committed the embezzlement which according to the document began well over ten years ago and as early as the mid-1990’s."

Stole $3.7-$7.4 million beginning over 10 years ago and his attorney wife was totally unaware and without suspicion?

What else would be found with more time and resources?
