Dear America...THIS is the government our Founders warned us about.
Precisley. This must not continue in America.
Exactly, vote blue 💙
And we are the ignorant, lazy, freedom relinquishing People our founders were dreading.
@@maxstrongCWhey the Republican, Union supporting, Constitutionalists DESTROYED the Democratic Party once before in the Bloodiest war in American History....and we can do it again.
@@maxstrongCW
Blue? Cops are not voted in, they apply for the job at a police station
_"You can say that to the media, but you can't say that to Congress, we created your department."_
Spot on. It's time Congress dismantles the ATF.
And puts this person in jail until he decides to answer some questions.
@@Anoneeemouse they should be immediately jailed for contempt...that is absurd to not have answers after 3 years.
and nazi fbi cia doj doe
@@AnoneeemouseThe Sargent at Arms has a jail cell for him, use it !!!
But he DID say that to Congress!!! Every single time they drag him up before them and put on their showboat interrogations, they ALLOW him to dodge, dissemble and obfuscate his way around DIRECT questions! As far as I'm aware, this weasel has NEVER spent one, single night in jail for the crime of Contempt of Congress, which he has perpetrated time and time and time again. These hearings are nothing but opportunities for Congressmen to "showboat." They're not trying to get anything meaningful done, they're just putting on a show for their constituency while Diddledick sits there not answering their questions and LAUGHING at the American people while he thinks up which American he and his "American Stasi," the ATF, will murder in their next pre-dawn raid! Our Congress is fiddling while America burns!
Vote Trump 2024 this guy needs to be locked up
Unfortunately, he’s not the answer to this particular thing. He’s going to be held up if he becomes president. The left will swamp him with “legal” issues and BS. Everything he does, they’ll take to court.
red flag trump...bump stock ban trump?
Definitely locked up in a black site
He took out an innocent man! That MURDERED! Who else gone to a home in the dark to carry out a WARNING? BUT CUT THE POWER OFF TO THE HOUSE LIKE CARTEL WOULD! That WARNING WAS NOT SERVE FOR HIM TO LIVE BUT DIED!
To be fair trump is an anti gun nut and will make matters worse if he doesnt remove almost everyone in power. If trump wins left will riot again like the floyd crap. Guns will get targeted and taken. If trump does finish his term without doing anything else bad even if hes the best president ever the next democrat can go full dictatorship and wed be unarmed for civil war. The economy is collapsing and they want to remove guns so they can orchestrate it and not have any worries about civil war.
That guy is dirty.
Never trust a guy that looks like his mouth is full of food when it's not.....
@@johnjones8888😂🤣
Doesn't know who the Incident Commander was??????????????????????????????????
@@johnjones8888Never trust a guy whose hair looks like he snaps it onto his head every morning like a Lego figure.
They all are.
He belongs in Jail
SHOCKING!
You spelled buried wrong.
If Jan6…three years ago is still under investigation, we badly need a new group of FBI workers
Its all BS !
It’s only under investigation, because they hope and pray every night, that they find something. Anything. Anything that can actually help them against orange man.
The video showed the bomb sniffing dog walk right past the supposed bomb without even an ounce of attention and the FBI allowed children on the sidewalk to walk right past, as well. Funny how they had video surveillance of that, but not of the person who placed them. It was all a hoax.
ALREADY ENOUGH OF ATF/FBI/DOJ/CIA/BRANDON’s BULLSH_T .. 🇺🇸 #2A 🇺🇸 #1A 🇺🇸
It will be under investigation until everyone that was alive at that time, are no longer here. Just like the Covid report. Won’t be released for 75 years. Wonder why? 🤔
Put This Man In Jail Immediately!!
He is to blame for thePremeditated Murder of Mr. Malinowski ..!!! Along with every Officer involved in his murder ..!!! And January 6, There’s one Person to Arrest and start with And her Initials Are Nancy Pelosi..!!! Then follow the Money.. Oh wait someone conveniently stole her Laptop .. Check Out AG Barr he probably has it with Hunter Biden’s Laptop ..!!!
GOD HELP US ..!!!
He’s lying through his teeth..!!!
Take him To Prison .. No Camp Cupcake with Big Bubba as a Cell Mate..!!!
GOD HELP US ..!!!
Defund & Dismantle the ATF
He has been in the DOJ or ATF for 5 administrations... THAT IS THE PROBLEM... I am tired of career politicians, it should be illegal to have a governmental "career".
Maybe political positions should only be compulsory duty-service placed upon citizens just like jury duty, based on their academic qualifications. No way to willingly elect to pursue a position in politics as a career ambition, besides public election. Checks and balances in place to remove someone who does a terrible job in-service. Short terms.
That goes all the way back to the Cintons!
Time to get rid of all the abc agencies in my opinion. They have all gone rogue
That will also help lower government spending. Maybe not enough to make a big difference, but certainly a great start
Government agencies have been rogue for a long time. It's just easier to see now, and people are more keen.
Massie's last comment gets to the point: We are concerned because BANKS are keeping records that they give to the government.
'I work for the government. I am here to collect a check. I don't know a thing.'
That could apply to the congressman as well...
@@canderson5098 indeed
Thats what I do. lol
Traitors , fired , prosecuted and jailed ! Awful people Awful Awful hate this guy !!!
Americans want answers we need to put Pelosi on the stand
Has Pelosi been under oath even once? The Wicked Witch of California needs to be charged-tried- convicted of the Jan.6 Entrapement scheme, why are they so afraid of her???
Listen to how he fumbles around lying and refusing to answer.
Apparently it works. He's gonna get away with all of this and more.
He’s playing delaying tactics because he knows that each Congressman has only a few minutes to ask questions and then he’s off the hook. It’s all theatrics. And he’ll still have his job. And Municipal Official Bryant Malinowski who the ATF killed last March in his home will still be dead. And the ATF will still be the ATF. And Life will go on again, as will the theatrics.
@@dalesum1 for now he will
He is in contempt, charge him, impeach him. He's fogging to avoid the questions.
This IS his job. Derail, deflect, deny and distract.
The power brokers consider him expendable. They hide their faces
He’s been at the ATF for 5 different administrations?! He needs to be fired, investigated, and if need be, prosecuted.
"DoJ Policy" does not override congress. DISBAND these renegade outfits.
If you keep the investigation going forever, you never have to answer questions.
"WE" need our country back
YOUR FIRED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a bucket of BULL$HIT.
So arrogant. Lying liar.
These kind of people need to be arrested for incompetence!!! You know the ones that can't answer any questions!!!!!😮😮😮😮
This is feigned incompetence.
@@RandyB521 very obviously feigned incompetence
3 years into this “on going investigation” in one of the most surveilled areas of the country. Mean while they’ve looked at everyone involved in Jan 6
Used facial recognition, fake-book and other sm, cameras, etc to find these people. Then when AI came along , it really kicked in. They can find people and identify them according to how they walk and move. Ridiculous to say they can’t find this person. My thoughts is it was someone from one of their agencies
@@LeighPogue they know who it was , but hiding it because it was the FBI that planted the bombs. It was all an elaborate plan to scare the public on the J6 protest.
Gotta thank our republican representatives for spending the last three years showing us the truth about FJB,our government and our college leadership.
It really sucks that it's all talk. In the end they vote to fund them.
Republicans have failed and let me down my whole life.
They throw the game.
Similar to wrestling.
America truly disappeared a long time ago while we were watching football and drinking beer.
Exactly they cant just get rid of them, but they are EXPOSING them.
They're just as dirty , ever notice how all they do is talk ....
Abandon Brandon ASAP!!
@@shawnstuart7 Brother, I saw this a decade ago, and there were many others, who understood this ploy, long before me. The largest problem for the gov. as I see it, is if too many of you guys start asking the questions that could completely strip, the badly damaged veneer of civilization. ALL governments require consent, whether it's coerced, or of free will. The people in government understand this natural law, in keeping with human nature, and I believe they are starting to show signs of panic, as they continue in their course against The People. The corruption, and criminality of this government has become too open, and blatant to remain stable, in the footprint of it's foundations, it's collapse is inevitable. The question really is, when ?
"I've been serving under many presidencies, both republican and democrat"
"How many agents were present at the capitol on January 6th?"
1:46 "Uh, I wasn't here during that period. That predated my time." 🧐
I noticed that too
How come NONE of these people can give an answer ? In the REAL world you would lose your job !
These hearings are for show. They’re to convince naive constituents their favorite sons and daughters in Congress are doing their job.
An average American would be charged with Contempt of Congress! Double Standards!
The Congress pays ATF staff they should be answering questions about the investigation. What is wrong with these people.
We pay Congress. If you asked a congressman a question do you honestly think they would give you an honest answer?
Corruption at its finest.
Yes. Congress needs to just stop funding all of these agencies until they are transparent.
Unfortunately at this point things will not get better. The entire DOJ needs to be dismantled and rebuild
It's a plan that's why they don't answer, they don't want those in America who aren't busy watching these hearings to hear about all of this on the nightly news!
Defund the corrupt ATF
This ATF director is corrupt. 😮
As we have all learned >> Policies are not LAW !! Jail the ATFmf'rs PLEASE
LOCKEM UP KEEP HIM IN A REPUBLICAN JAIL FOR 4 YEARS AND DONT ANSWER NO QUESTIONS FOR HIM 🔒🔒🔒🔒🔒🔒🚨🚨
Put him in the Congressional JAIL, until he gets the answers. Bring him back tomo
A 3 year "pending" investigation.
Claiming that he can't answer those questions is total BS
He just said he couldn't talk about the "pending" investigation. So the investigation is not "ongoing" it's "pending"
All of these hearsing are a joke..why dont they bring contempt for not answering the questions.
What is congress there for if almost no one is willing to answer questions and just filibuster!! Embarrassing!!!
This kind of filibusters from certain politicians and law enforcement are obviously tactics being used to avoid prosecution or retribution for incompetence and lying people in powerful position's! We the people must find a way to get justice for wrong doing or must we wait for Godly punishment?😡😫🤯
Congress’s only purpose is to generate revenue by taxation and have the power of a gun to enforce the laws to collect those taxes. Everything is for show regardless of political party, they’re all corrupt and dirty.
There is no investigation.
Nah. There’s a file somewhere gathering dust. Maybe once a month it does get dusted and moved from one pile to another. One is pending a the other is pending b. There’s one page in each noting a redacted intake that has zero readable data to look into.
Unbelievable this is America!
bunch of knownothings
You can hear the disdain this pinhead has for congressional oversight
Clean it up
Do something!!!
your never going to get a fair election again, Because the Congress is not the legit Congress, and they will not do their job at all, Sponges. They are stonewalling the public letting any criminal do and say whatever they want. They do not honor the US Constitution at all. So do what u gotta do. The 14th amendment is very wrong, it alters the first articles, and those, cannot be changed at all. They use the age 21 now, which is why you have s holes in there like Cortez and Garcia, the big jokes yes. i say, the entire Congress should of been fired and arrested when they changed and made the 14th amendment
It’s genius that they continue to investigate and never have to comment. Congress should pass a law about this.
Can't do that. If they did, it would mean that when the shoe is on the other foot, they would actually have to answer similar questions.
@@evernhamanderson they need to answer to Congress behind closed door sessions.
@@mostlypeacefuljogger4622 OK, but if they can't answer in a public setting, when they claim to be public servants, then they are almost surely doing the wrong thing and feeling the need to either cover up those things they feel they need to, or outright lying to try and preserve their position or avoid jail.
@@evernhamanderson well if they disclose in closed door sessions, a simple FOIA request could expose it. They just need to get these crooks on the record.
I agree that they aren’t answering because they’re doing something shady. Congress should suspend funding if it’s been 3 years and they still haven’t given any answers.
@@evernhamanderson Screw that answer. Have you seen the treatment given to the innocent J6 patriots?
Since when is ATFs job to "protect congressman or senators " ??
That not even thier job !
Defund EVERY govt agency that plays the "ongoing investigation" canard until they capitulate and answer to the representatives of the American people.
What a BS artist.
I like the part about how the drug cartels, with fully automatic machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades need to use straw buyers in the United States to buy Sporterized semi-automatic rifles.
Then close the border!
Put the atf on the other side of that border.
Disband the ATF.😡😡😡
These people need to GO
Put his ass in jail, disband the ATF.
Straight to jail!
Back to the registry... you are the one who should go to jail. FDJT
new face,new liar.
Who the heck put him in charge of the dept???
And as long as anyone cares about the pipe bombs, the investigation will not close. It is time for Congress to force information on open investigations.
“We’re 3 years into it” 😂 exactly like wth just come clean it was a fedsurrection
💯
this man is sick steven lying sounds like garland
They all sound alike. Reading the same bible.
questioning is great, but at some point soon, congress must act to shut this lawless organization down.
These "investigations" seem to never end.
That's exactly the problem...they always use the old " I cannot comment on an ongoing investigation".
Why do you think they are still "investigating" Hunter Biden? They can stall forever then simply say "that is under investigation" so they never have to be held to account.
These investigations are for show and job security, nothing else. Remember the difference between pro and con? What’s the opposite of progress?
so the secret is, keep your investigations open forever and never have to respond to Congress. Policies are not the law. Time for Congress to get tough, both sides ask the same questions, which astonishes me that they can't work together to enforce their constitutional authority.
What a joke.
Congress is a huge waste of the taxpayers money, not to even mention the rotten Bidens
Get rid of the ATF
So there was no insurection
THIS is The Adversary of All Of Us.
Lies, and lies about lies. They are guilty of these crimes, but will not pursue their own arrests and convictions. We have to do that.
That man should be behind bars along with that judge.
I remember watching what was happening. No body was attacking any senators.
I dont care if it is long standing policy. That isnt law. You created that policy to avoid answering questions.
This criminal is what is wrong with this government.
Just absolute and complete incompetence from ATF, THEY DO NOT CARE
I could not restrain myself if I were asking the questions.
"There's an ongoing investigation." Now that's an FBI excuse being used by ATF.
Brit here . I’ve watched many of these debates. Nobody answers questions who runs your country
3 plus years to do an investigation?🤔😡😡😡
If this ATF director really thinks that the cartel is buying guns at an FFL licensed dealer. That is probably one of the dumbest arguments I have ever heard come out of somebody's mouth that is in government and that's really saying something
This Individual belongs in Prison 😊
Absolutely heartbreaking.
If you are so worried shut down the damn BORDER!
i cant ansewr questions on ongoing investigations, investigations from 3 years ago????
This is (The Swamp) in action🦎
Transparency at its finest
They always will get back to them but of course never do! Tired of the excuse about not commenting on a pending investigation!
Steven, what the fuck DO you know?
God Bless Thomas Massie, the BEST member of Congress!! 💯🙏💪🇺🇸
FOIA ---- the ARKANSAS State police body cams, since he says the ATF was using them to investigate.
Strange how when you see the video all of those officers were just standing within Arm's Reach of the alleged bomb not caring that it might go off...... as if they knew it wouldn't.
And strange they still have no leads as to who dropped those off..... but managed to find every single person within the city limits of Washington DC on J6.
Straw purchases using cash HMMM sounds to me like FAST AND FURIOUS
anytime a background check is ran it creates a registry
Take him to the basement. It ain't waterboarding if you use diesel.
The first, most important part of a fully-functional representative government is that members of the government need to be accountable for their actions; they need to answer question with answers instead of distractions and stonewalling, and they need to be removed and prosecuted when blocking or found doing anything other. When this does not happen we NO LONGER HAVE A FUNCTIONAL REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT.
Fire him yesterday.
Let fix this mess. This department needs a good housekeeping.
It's time to dismantle it!!!
CRIME...and there is $ that follows that.
Fire him already
He needs to GO!
Get him Massie 👍
thank these people for standing UP
Bring in the MP’s!
This is absolutely insane.
Disband the ATF as soon as possible.
Would someone dismantle the ATF?
