Federal authorities are under fire for a botched 10-month undercover storefront operation in the Milwaukee are that used a local man with a low IQ to set up their gun and drug deals and then turned on him, charging him with crimes that could send him to prison for the rest of his life, the Journal Sentinel reported.

The report says agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives convinced Chauncey Wright to help them in their “Fearless Distributing” sting by paying him in cigarettes, merchandise and money to ride his bike around town and hand out fliers recommending the fake storefront to friends, family and strangers.

Has anyone realized that most of the ATF agents fall into the same category?

My point: "birds of a feather flock together."

The BATFE seems to have nothing to do except try to generate reasons to continue to exist.

“Low IQ” isn’t saying much. Heck, ninety-five percent of registered Democrats are low IQ, and the other five percent cheated on the test.

If you’re against that kind of operation, you’re anti-government. ;-)

And in other news about their kind,...

After spending millions, a half-wit is the only one the geniuses could catch to charge. Have a half-wit unemployable in-law that is totally worthless, well they have a spot for him with the ATF, FBI, or one of the other alphabet law enforcement agencies.

Ask yourself a few questions...

Would you willingly work for the BATF as it now stands in 2013?
DHS?
TSA?
CIA?
DOE?
ICE?
EPA?
and I also and daringly add to the list:
DOD?

So who do “they” (the Feds) actively recruit to work for them nowadays?

Citizen Cat4s and Foreign Nationals would be my best guess.
