The Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General published a new report Monday that confirms former U.S. Attorney for Arizona Dennis Burke leaked a document intended to smear Operation Fast and Furious scandal whistleblower John Dodson.

The DOJ IG said it found “Burke’s conduct in disclosing the Dodson memorandum to be inappropriate for a Department employee and wholly unbefitting a U.S. Attorney.”

“We are referring to OPR our finding that Burke violated Department policy in disclosing the Dodson memorandum to a member of the media for a determination of whether Burke’s conduct violated the Rules of Professional Conduct for the state bars in which Burke is a member,” the IG wrote.

Burke resigned from his post as U.S. Attorney over the incident in August 2011, the first major Department of Justice official to leave his or her post in the Fast and Furious scandal. He said after the fact, in interviews with congressional investigators, that he now views leaking the document as a “mistake.”

Hundreds of innocent people were murdered with Fast and Furious weapons, including women and children

Liberals don't care. Defending any/all thuggery and corruption committed by their Messiah GodKing is all that matters
 
you need to change your avatar to an Ostrich

I love your avatar....

Yes we are in distress - progressives would just call your avatar anti-Obama protest tho.

Are you talking about Wide Receiver? The plan Issa and Grassley promoted?

White House Falsely Blames Bush-Era Wide Receiver For Fast And Furious - Investors.com

The president's spokesman confuses a "controlled delivery" operation known as Wide Receiver with the quite different Fast and Furious and couldn't even remember the name of the Border Patrol agent killed by it.

Tell everyone why you don't care about the hundreds of innocent victims murdered by F n F weapons including women and children

What was the Border Patrol agent's name that was killed by a F n F weapon? Oh I'm sorry, you can't be bothered with such facts because you're too busy goosestepping behind any and all corruption/thuggery coming from the WH. My bad.

I agree with the DOG statement on this one:

“Burke’s conduct in disclosing the Dodson memorandum to be inappropriate for a Department employee and wholly unbefitting a U.S. Attorney.”

From reading the OIG's report, it appears that Burke deliberately disregarded the rules regarding media contacts and also used a circuitous route to get the e-mail to Fox. This is contrary to the ethics one would expect from any practicing attorney, particularly a U.S. Attorney who is supposed to be helping uphold the law. IMO, his being disbarred and prohibited from practicing law and/or servicing in any law-related profession might be a reasonable recourse given his significant ethical lapses.

what do you expect from a democrat lawyer. Ethics? ya right
 
Boy it's odd how all this scandalous info is just getting released after the election.

Actually, it makes total sense.
 
in september of '12 this same ig (michael horowitz) testified before evil issa that eric holder's doj basically OBSTRUCTED the ig's investigation into f&f, fast and furious

IG: White House Made It Impossible to Pursue F&F Probe

again, the inspector general, mr horowitz, testified that the attorney general, top law enforcement officer in the land, obstructed his investigation into the cause of death of a united states border officer, as well as the willful movement of some several thousand ugly assault weapons direct into the hands of the cruelest and craziest killers in the americas, the cartels, one consequence being the deaths of hundreds if not thousands of our southern neighbors...

eric holder's doj is amok, the threats, the leaks, the spying, the obstruction...

the strongarm tactics of chicago

it's of a piece with this entire white house, dod, state, treasury, nsc, dhs, hhs...

targeting enemies, testifying falsely to congress, obfuscating, editing the truth, outright and serially lying...

are you really surprised?

why wouldn't the president's counsel kathryn ruemmler, obama's personal attorney in the white house (in the news today bigtime for knowing tigta's CONCLUSIONS in april), "permit" ig michael horowitz to question one kevin oreilly in obama's ns, about information atf special agent wm newell in phoenix told horowitz he shared with oreilly in the white house?

why did ms ruemmler write, she found "insufficient basis to support the request" to permit mr oreilly to answer questions?

why was mr oreilly transferred out of the nsc and sent to state in iraq, such that the ig testified in house oversight he didn't even know where oreilly was (for a year)?

why all the coverup?
 
The IRS scandal is just beggining. If Max Baucus is warning people that it's going to get MUCH bigger than the Dems are finnaly going to get whats been coming to them.
