This butt kissing ‘BOY” doing the dirty work of his butt kissing boy Holder, doing the dirty work of his girly boy queer, muslim, communist obozo!!
He couldn’t stand the heat in the kitchen so he bailed out.
Is this the same guy that has been around for the full obama term? If so why is he being allowed to leave until the gun giveaway deal is resolved?
Who the stuffed shirt that occupies the position isn’t as important as the fact that there is a fuhrer….I mean director of an existent ATF. Leave the post empty & shut the agency down.
Good, clown.
Not that Brandon is likely any different, but perhaps chastened.
Keep your powder dry. JLC
Now if only Obama and Holder would do the same ! (Lynch better not be confirmed as AG)
Good bye Mr. Jones! If we don’t see you again, So What!
