Motorcycle Madhouse Radio Podcast w James "Hollywood" MacecariTHE ATF - UNDERCOVER OFFICER JAY DOBYNS | THE ULTIMATE BETRAYALIn recent years, ATF management has become widely and officially known for corruption, self-service, and at times, overt incompetence. Moreover, ATF managers at all levels routinely retaliate or discriminate against employees who make good faith attempts to address significant cases of flagrant abuse, unlawful acts, waste of taxpayer resources, etc. Managers often use the threat or actual imposition of unfounded disciplinary actions, Internal Affairs “investigations”, punitive transfers, and other flagrantly unethical measures to suppress dissension and subvert legitimate complaints about serious abuses. https://youtu.be/Gr60sT9gYlk https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/best-reads/2015/10/17/jay-dobyns-atf-hells-angels-attorney-jim-reed/74015938/ https://thetexan.news/atf-s...
