Just viewed/listened to part 2 of Lou Dobbs on Olofson.
One question asked was, why the full power of the federal government was brouight down on a single individual?
I suspect that the answer is simply as follows. That regarding firearms matters, BATFE must "make cases" or die. Can you imagine those management bureaucrats reduced to doing what might be described as "honest work", how would they possibly manage, their offices having one less trash basket? Oh horrors!!!
As to problems with their firearms evaluation and testing procedure, what procedure. This problem is NOTHING new, it's been around since the agency was given such duties, in short, they seem to "wing it" from case to case, and they have admitted o tampering with evidence in criminal prosecutions. So much for the BATFE.
