The Truth about Fast & Furious

[gejohnston]

88. you are ignoring facts, backed up by evidence presented

that refutes every bit of that whistle-blower retaliation nonsense. Not claimed to have seen "confidential documents" including records that Eban had no legitimate right to have access to.
It has nothing to do with the NRA or Tea Party. As chairs of the committee, their names are going to be on it. Sounds like you are the one being dogmatic and ignoring the facts. The facts are these:
The AUSA failed to do his job, and he lost his job. That is how it should be.
Voth fucked up and tried to retaliate against whistle-blowers, following the same pattern used by corporations. Eban was a freelance writer who was used as a mouthpiece.
I'm not siding with anyone. I am siding against Voth for not only be an idiot that got caught, tried to retaliate against whistle-blowers, and apparently give unauthorized people access to documents including personnel records. I don't know about the ATF, but if it were the military, Voth would be in the world of shit for violating the Privacy Act. If he gave Eban access to those records, without Dodson's permission (apparently, that is how she found Dodson's ex-wife) then Voth or Newell should be nailed for it. Simple as that. In my world view, there is only right and wrong. I don't give a fuck if it serves a partisan interest or not.
