DOJ is working hard this week to avoid responsibility once again. They are promoting former Acting Director of ATF Kenneth Melson to a DOJ job (Senior Adviser for Forensic Science) - big turnaround from his expected resignation. The Phoenix US Attorney Dennis Burke who guided the legal planning has resigned. Eric Holder continues to lie about his knowledge by staying mum. President Obama is being protected. The Administration is playing cover-up instead of trying to find out who/why was trafficking guns to Mexico, and why people have died.
This comes on the heels of other reassignments recently. From NYT: "Two A.T.F. Phoenix division supervisors, William Newell and William McMahon, received lateral transfers to positions in Washington. Emory Hurley, an assistant United States attorney in Phoenix who worked on the operation, was transferred to the office’s civil division from its criminal division."
All of this will give all of these people excuses to play ignorant. The Washington mantra is at work: Screw up, cover up, move up. Let's hope somewhere in the future the Karma gets straightened out.
