Grassley Exposes Severe Whistleblower Retaliation at Biden ATF [More]

You don’t say.

Hey, text, history, and tradition, right?

As long as Grassley is looking behind the curtain again, why not give him another allegation to investigate?

“When it was brought to the Bureau’s attention that Chipman had tried to grease the skids for former ASAC Stankoweicz(sp), the 5th floor was outraged and tanked the contract offer for someone who had so blatantly and publicly disgraced the Bureau. That did not prevent him from sliding into some other non-Bureau contracted position. The problem is, that Chipman has been manipulating the Bureau-sponsored contractor to pad the BQL with friends. The net effect is that the truly qualified people are not being considered for the positions. It has also been stated that Chipman has delivered HIS version of the BQLs for these contract positions, demanding his buddies be placed at the top of the list. Yep, fraud. That simple. Yep, the 5th floor knows.”

Oh, that’s right, I already have.

Compared to these accusations on the whistleblower website that first pointed us to Fast and Furious, Grassley’s latest is pretty weak tea.

So what’s he doing now? Posturing? How about he release the hounds on seeing if “preferred” vendors were favored, what kinds of understandings led to that, and how widespread it was?

They have no forensic accountants they could demand records for?

We’re the Only Ones Swindling Enough

GOP senators demand swift action against Biden-era ATF bureaucrats who allegedly ‘defrauded taxpayers’ of $20M — and still work for federal govt. [More]

Hey, don’t forget to look into Best Qualified List allegations:

“The problem is, that Chipman has been manipulating the Bureau-sponsored contractor to pad the Best Qualified List (BQL) with friends. The net effect is that the truly qualified people are not being considered for the positions. It has also been stated that Chipman has delivered HIS version of the BQLs for these contract positions, demanding his buddies be placed at the top of the list. Yep, fraud. That simple. Yep, the 5th floor knows.”

Kinda makes me wonder what could have been avoided if Congresss had listened to me n’ Mike before Gunwalker back in ’09

Senate Should Demand Unequivocal Answers from Bondi on Second Amendment

I believe in asking political candidates and nominees specific questions that demand unequivocal answers… [More]

Or they could just give her a pass for “I believe in the Second Amendment BUT…”

We’re the Only Ones Disputing Enough

Grassley: Local law enforcement are disputing claims that the Secret Service assigned them to cover the rooftop where a would-be assassin fired at former President Donald Trump during a Pennsylvania campaign rally in July. [More]

I hope Grassley’s keeping tabs on retaliation for that.

Of course, if Republicans blow November, there’ll be nothing to stop it.

We’re the Only Ones Gunwalking Enough

A former investigator with the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) is accused of trafficking weapons to Mexico while he was an employee of the bureau in 2017, according to a letter sent to the ATF Director this week by US Senator Charles Grassley. [More]

Jeez, another letter…?

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.

I went to Grassley’s “News Releases” page and didn’t see the letter. I asked him for a copy:

Anybody have a link?

I started an AmmoLand article on this but then found another writer was working on it. I’ll wait for that one to see if there’s anything substantive I can add.

Grassley to ATF: Explain Focus on Gun Owners Instead of Cartel Trafficking

If that sounds familiar, it’s the premise on which Operation Fast and Furious, which Grassley opened his letter to Dettelbach with, was founded. [More]
