The ATF’s Fast & Furious scandal has now led to Eric Holder being the first Attorney General ever found in contempt of Congress. However, had it not been for whistle-blowers, the ATF’s arming of Mexican drug cartels would probably still be a secret.
Now a video memo from ATF boss Todd Jones has been leaked to the public by an unknown ATF employee. The video shows Todd Jones threatening agents not to go outside the chain of command.
Jones states, ” if you don’t find the appropriate way to raise your concerns to your leadership, there will be consequences.” Congressman Chuck Grassley sent Todd Jones a letter saying that the statement *”appears to be a threat” against potential whistle-blowers.
*Appears to be? Appears to be? I would love to get Zurich Mikes’ opinion on this policy implementation video from a Compliance Officer’s perspective.
