Vegas Baby!!!
This is not political, it's an article about the folks that are in charge of enforcing Alcohol, TOBACCO and Firearms.

Well, I certainly hope they ultimately prosecute that tobacco smuggler Cartes; he sounds like a real crook. :rofl:

I always thought "Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms" sounded like a perfect name for a federal department of recreation....seems like the plan for a perfect weekend

Halfway though the article....
"Government spending typically requires a strict audit trail, but the money deposited in the bank account came from an unlikely source. ATF agents told the informants to buy untaxed cigarettes, mark up the cost and sell them at a profit. The sales made millions of dollars, which poured into the account."
And the last line....
"After an investigation, the inspector general said the ATF is now in full compliance with its churning rules. But that investigation did not cover management accounts like the one in Bristol, which the ATF still has not publicly addressed."

Let us not forget the several cases where over recent years the secret service were busted for hiring whores, having parties and all kinds of other lascivious behavior!

Alcohol, Tobacco, & Firearms...

Should be a convenience store, not a governmental agency!
