WI Attorney General allegedly purchased illegal gun from DOJ special agent currently under investigation by Fed.Gov’t
“A top state Department of Justice official is under federal investigation after a DOJ agent reported to his superiors and federal authorities that the official was manufacturing and selling firearms without a license and claimed to own a stolen machine gun.”
...
The story is also intriguing for revealing a Wisconsin Attorney General complicit in illegal activity: Wisconsin’s Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen allegedly bought one of the illegal guns. You wouldn’t think J.B. would be cavalier about this sort of thing given that during his 2006 primary run for the post of Attorney General, he called for a crackdown and harsh penalties for those who use a gun to commit a crime.
We also see suggestions of retribution against the whistle blower, Dan Bethards. The State of Wisconsin has initiated an internal investigation against him. And yet a similar investigation has NOT been initiated by the State of Wisconsin against the man who Bethards says has been illegally selling guns and who, Bethards alleges, planned to resell a fully automatic machine gun that he knew was stolen.
...
The watered-down Wisconsin press won’t focus on this. But given that Van Hollen’s Attorney General post will be open for election in 2014, I am sure a candidate or two will make it her mission to get emerging details to every county in the state.
