Nice. So, tax the hell out of smokes so illicit trade increases. Then, have an enforcement agent set up stings. Then pocket the cash from your sting.

I'm more and more convinced that the government itself is violating RICO statutes.

Oh, I forgot, the law doesn't apply to the ruling class.

Around 1986 I came to the conclusion the democrat party was nothing more than the political wing of organized crime.

There is virtually no govt program that doesn't have fraud built right into it.

Dem controlled city and county govts are even worse, especially when judges are dems.

Hey peeps cut the ATF some slack — they’re gettin’ better.
This time they didn’t ‘lose’ guns.

I think somebody had a point when they referred to the ATF as “The Department of Alcohol, Tobacco, Drugs, Firearms, Explosives, Gambling, Smuggling, Reckless Driving, Teen Girls, Pornography, and Watching Bullfights on Acid.”

Federal bureaucrat stumble-bums strike again.
But this is not quite of the same magnitude as IRS political hacks "losing" $67,000,000 from an ObamaCare slush fund.
God Save the Republic.
