Whistleblower claims Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives personnel were improperly paid bonuses reserved for criminal investigators

A whistleblower is accusing the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives of fraud, waste and abuse. CBS News was told the alleged practice could potentially involve hundreds of millions of tax dollars across multiple federal agencies.

The whistleblower said some in administrative jobs at the agency were paid a special bonus known as law enforcement availability pay, or LEAP, even though they did not qualify. Government regulations stipulate the bonus is reserved for "criminal investigators" who are on call and expected to work unscheduled, additional hours.

The whistleblower, named Joe, who asked to be disguised and for his last name not to be used, told CBS News he noticed problems at the ATF almost immediately after he began working there in 2016 as an information specialist in the Human Resources department.

Once the press gets it and starts running with it,there just ain't no putting THAT "genie" back in the box. SUMBODIE is agonna get fired,fined,and maybe even put in a federal prison for this,and that SOMBODIE ain't going to be a peon.

Look at the activists media lining up behind the regulation of fb. Strange they are now concerned about children.
Children are always a useful tool of the left. They have no concern about children. Just look at their acts. Now
a conservative may actually be concerned about children. Children are a key aspect of the bait.

Dims support internet porn, smart phones, gender mutilation, critical race theory, birth control, abortion even to
the day before the delivery of a wide eyed child.


Give me a break.

Way back in the good old FDR days, that administration initiated a similar strategy with NPR "National Recovery Act"
and had the leading manufacturers in each industry get together and put together best of practices. They made it
expensive to violate a regulation and put in all those extra high cost departments in even the smallest company.

What was the result? Well the leading manufactures in those industries became larger with the control injected into
regulations. Regulation costs took out competitors and large companies became larger. Thanks FDR.

The nice lady from fb who is so concerned will make a nice Senator and be even more helpful to fb in the future.

This leads to Laura Ingraham. She is one of a few I listen to.


Ingraham: God help any Republican who assists the left with this
