We’re glad the agency is now setting the record straight and, hopefully, will provide accurate, honest and straightforward information in the future.This is more on the "Always Think Forfeiture" fiasco, and it is unintentionally revealing.
Honesty is not something you should have to hope for. It's something honorable men and women demand of themselves. It's one of those "gimmes" I just referred to.
Still, I wonder at the sudden conciliatory tone, and from "Maximum Mike" himself. Perhaps everyone wants to be on good behavior during an "audit". Lord knows the powers who prefer to work in darkness have had some high profile illuminations lately.
Based on observation, I think it more likely this is just the BATFU CYA MO. I can't help but speculate on what might be revealed if Rep. Sali demands all documents related to this, including producing the names of the other representatives he was told had inquired into the matter before him. If any really did.
That's the problem with broken trust. People never know what to believe, and even when you're telling the truth, your motives are suspect. It's that boy crying wolf thang.
Anyway, head on over to the title link and read the whole thing. You might want to leave a comment there, too, because some of the leftist flamers are in need of a good dousing.

OK, no more little slogan keychains as an act of good faith.
ReplyDeleteBut the memorial remains outside the shiny new BATFU headquarters, to the four agents killed when they broke into a home and church at Mt. Carmel, Waco, Texas and were mistaken for -- no, recognized as -- violent criminals and killed:
"Never Forget"
What do they mean by THAT?
Never forget these noble public servants who gave their lives to further destroy the Bill of Rights?
They've already forgotten (again) that attacking innocent people and lying while doing it isn't the American Way.
I, for one, will never forget. Perhaps they would prefer I did.

Of course this is nothing but lawyering by Mr. Sullivan's office to CYA.
ReplyDeleteThe simple fact that a United States Congressman has to use the word "hopefully" in such a way there's no question of a dishonest government agency is something that needs to be addressed now, not yesterday or tomorrow but now.
I also have a hunch that Mr. Sullivan knows he's lost his ace in the hole, Senator Kennedy. This loss has put Mr. Sullivan in such a position that he can't be as arrogant as he's been up until Senator Kennedy's illness because known. Now Mr. Sullivan is going to have to stand on his own two feed with out Senator Kennedy standing in front of him as his protector.
Note: on my Apple the word "Sullivan" comes underlined as a word being misspelled. I checked the spell check to see what word it wanted to replace the word "Sullivan" with. The replacement word was "Satan".
That's funny, AJ. Blogger thinks "Schumer" should be "Schemer."
