Good. No one is supposed to be above the law in America.

Except, William Jefferson Clinton

Any of those felony charges?

[Coronach]

"serious assault" sounds like it could be, well, serious...like felony-type serious.

Seriously.

PS What, exactly, is non-serious assault? I love legal terminology sometimes.

The head of the Iowa ATF

Does he smoke or chew? Might be triple qualified to head up the Iowa ATF....

Kudos to the local county attorney's office.

Do you seriously think this guy will pay the price a regular joe would? You or I would be up on felony assault with a deadly weapon charges, not misdemeanors. There will likely be some kind of sweetheart deal, the kind of plea bargain you or I could never hope to get. The result will be slap on the wrist at most; I'd bet on it.

At minimum I would hope that the ATF demotes him regardless of the legal outcome. That should just about toast his career.

They should slap his wrist with an axe. And don't forget how Janet 'Shaved Yeti' Reno walked on criminal/civil liability in the Waco, Ruby Ridge and Elian Gonzales cases.

Heck, if he would have just shot them and burned their house down they would have promoted him to Deputy Director.

You crack me up ... LOL
