Strikes me that respecting the antics of the BATFE and U.S. Attorney's Office in this case, that we here see exampled in all it's glory, the above mentioned unacceptable behavior. I believe that it would be described as prosecutorial misconduct, which like tampering with evidence, another forte of the BATFE, is or used to be a no no.
The criminal conduct of the ATF is well documented, not just in this case, but many others. Just jump on ar15.com and check the documentation, its there in black and white. It will be even easier to see when the full transcripts of this come out.
I wonder if this was agent Kookee from this case….?

ATF agent leaves gun in bathroom at Milwaukee airport
The Associated Press
MILWAUKEE — A special agent returning to Mitchell International Airport left her firearm in a bathroom there Tuesday night, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said.
The special agent immediately alerted authorities when she realized she left her weapon, assistant special agent in charge Guy Thomas said Wednesday. He said it was either recovered by local authorities or a civilian.
Thomas said he didn’t know how long the weapon was left in the bathroom but said the situation ended quickly.
“The important thing here is that the firearm is in the appropriate control,” he said.
The incident is being investigated by the ATF, which is standard procedure, said Thomas, who is based in St. Paul, Minn.
He wouldn’t provide details about the Milwaukee-based agent, such as how long she had been with the bureau.
“It’s a sensitive situation as you can imagine,” he said. “The agent is embarrassed.”
She has not been suspended or placed on leave, Thomas said. He could not say what the outcome of the investigation would be.
The agent was returning home from a long detail assignment and there was some question as to whether she was fatigued, Thomas said.
He said he believed the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Department investigated the matter Tuesday night and determined that the agent did not leave her firearm on purpose.
The sheriff’s department referred questions on the matter to the ATF.

What is or is not surprising is beside the point, the point being that certain behavior in a court of law is not acceptable. The presence of such behavior is sufficient to have a guilty verdict tossed out.

BTW, this is NOT to say that the ATF has never brought a legitimate case, however you seem to be overly defensive of them. Of course, you are free to so be, however your being so tends to raise questions.
The problem with NFA law as it stands is that interpretation of legal/illegal C3 item is strictly up to BATFE/NFA people.
Star Tribune said:A Robbinsdale police officer was indicted for allegedly making terroristic threats during a confrontation in which the other driver shot him in the leg.
Bay News 9 said:Two women, Kali Gillespie and Brenda Hott, said they saw an officer spray the ducks as they were driving by the Kenneth City police station. They said an officer and another city employee were on a smoke break.

But a recent run to the neighborhood Golden Arches turned ugly when a Clearwater police officer busted the 75-year-old grandmother of eight on a disorderly conduct charge and hauled her to jail.
FOX News said:A defense attorney told a jury on Monday that a former police officer knew where the body of a missing pregnant woman was but had nothing to do with her death.
Prosecutors say Bobby Cutts Jr. strangled Jessie Marie Davis, dumped her body, then lied to investigators as thousands searched for her last summer in a case that received national attention.

Former Memphis, Tenn. Police Officer Pleaded Guilty to Civil Rights Charges for Stealing Money During a Traffic Stop
WASHINGTON The Justice Department today announced that James Fetter, a former officer with the Memphis Police Department, pleaded guilty to involvement in two conspiracies to deprive individuals of their civil rights and to willfully using his position as a police officer to steal money during a traffic stop in Memphis, Tenn.
...
...
As part of his plea, Fetter acknowledged that he and his partner, former Memphis police officer Adam Gagnier, agreed to steal money from individuals they stopped for traffic violations. He further admitted that on Feb. 25, 2004, he and Gagnier stopped LaQuan Neil and Latoya Greer, and without any law enforcement justification, stole $3,000 from them, and kept that money for personal gain. Fetter also acknowledged that following marital problems in 2004, he conspired with Gagnier to falsely arrest and imprison his wife, Leah Fetter, and Herbert Adcock.
