Some ATF agents involved with a botched gun-buying storefront operation in Milwaukee face disciplinary action, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
The investigation was so bungled that agents last year had their guns stolen and their storefront pillaged.
The Journal Sentinel discovered through a letter sent to Congress that the Justice Department is conducting personnel investigations in connection with “Operation Fearless.”
According to the letter, the FBI backed off helping because of concerns about how the investigation was run.
