These ******** need to be wearing numbers, not badges. If we had a president with integrity we wouldn't have an criminal thug for an AG and this never would have happened.
By Michael Truelsen - email TUCSON, AZ (KOLD) - Three supervisors of an ATF gun-sting operation that resulted in the death of a Border Patrol agent in Arizona have been promoted, according to the Los Angeles Times. William G. McMahon, who was the ATF's deputy director of operations in the West where the illegal trafficking program was focused, and William D. Newell and David Voth, both field supervisors who oversaw the program out of the agency's Phoenix office, have been given management positions at the Washington headquarters of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. A CBS News investigation revealed that the ATF started Operation Fast and Furious to help track guns that ended up in the hands of cartel leaders in Mexico, hoping it would lead them to top gun traffickers. Despite opposition from many within the ATF and even gun shops employed in the undercover operation, the investigation revealed that more than 2,000 guns were sold and allowed to enter into Mexico. Many of these guns were later found at crime scenes in Mexico, and were suspected to have been used in the killings of many people, including Border Patrol agent Brian Terry. According to the Times: Three Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives spokesmen did not return phone calls Monday asking about the promotions. But several agents said they found the timing of the promotions surprising, given the turmoil at the agency over the failed program. McMahon was promoted Sunday to deputy assistant director of the ATF's Office of Professional Responsibility and Security Operations — the division that investigates misconduct by ATF employees and other problems. Kenneth E. Melson, the ATF's acting director, said in an agency-wide confidential email announcing the promotion that McMahon was among ATF employees being rewarded because of "the skills and abilities they have demonstrated throughout their careers." Newell was the special agent in charge of the ATF's field office for Arizona and New Mexico, where Fast and Furious was conducted. On Aug. 1, the ATF announced he would become special assistant to the assistant director of the agency's Office of Management in Washington. Voth was an on-the-ground team supervisor for Fast and Furious, and last month he was moved to Washington to become branch chief for the ATF's tobacco division. |
