A Pretty Meager Bounty, All Things Considered

$100,000 is nowhere near enough, guys... [Read] 

You have no idea how scared these folks are.

The personal attacks and reprisals are "withering."

Even the ones who want to come forward out of a sense of doing the right thing don't believe they'll be protected if they do.

UPDATE: Longbow has some thoughts about this.

Yes, that is a meager bounty for the crime, but that may be what they can afford. After all, they are not likely getting funding from FedGov nor from George Soros...

David,

On thought keeps coming to mind. This is something I found myself screaming at my computer screen.

Grow a set of nuts and do what is RIGHT anyway!

Don't tell us you can't do what is right because you might not get the next assignment you want. Don't tell us about how you have a family and a mortgage. Don't tell us you might lose your job.


You went to work for an agency, the mission of which is a violation of the Constitution and your oath of office, but you're going to tell the American people you didn't know?

Did ATF management have this anti-rights political agenda, ten years ago? Twenty years ago? Formerly, the leadership of ATF could hide behind the presumption that there was no individual (personal) right to keep and bear arms. But since Heller and McDonald, ATF leadership has continued with the exact same agenda. You are going to tell us didn't know?

Some of you call ATF a "great agency, with an important mission..." Meanwhile, the list of abuses and corruption grows longer and longer.

You didn't know? You were unaware?

You sit there and say, "Jeppers, I would love to come forward and tell all I know about corruption within the agency, but I don't want to put my job at risk..."

Yeah, that cool job with a corrupt agency with its un-Costitutional mission and agenda.

I heard a saying when I was young, which stuck with me all my years. "I was looking for a job when I found this one."

I say again, what David and Mike are too polite to say...

Grow a set of nuts and do what is right anyway! THAT is the definition of Courage.

Then I have an idea--let them solicit donations to make it more of a sum worth forfeiting one's career, pension and personal/family security over, and we'll see how badly gun owners really want to make it happen.
