do the arrest. nobody came, so what was the purpose of it? you know, maybe it was just to make the a tf agent look bad. at least there's one quote from people within the office that said they wanted to dirty up the agent in a sense like you said in your letter. they were threatening him. did he want a job at the atf or a lower paying job with the sheriff? it's all -- it's all a matter of intimidation and not wanting to have anything to do with the bad judgment that was made up here in washington, dc. >> greta: which is actually two issues. one is the operation itself, but as i look through these letters, it looks like it goes right up the chain. i'm curious. two things. one is how high up in the justice department does this go? number two, is the justice department really cooperating with you when i see the letter from the assistant attorney general and they're telling lies. i don't see that as cooperation.
