First, thanks for sharing.
Admittedly I am biased to the point of mistrust but I have a hard time, given the contradicting testimony from some long-standing FFL's out there in the past many months, that the OIG in this case interviewed those that needed to be interviewed. They interview the very people (from a "sample"), themselves under the boot-heel of regulation, who will (predictably) say they didn't terminate relationships with firearms dealers. Wonder what would've happened to them if they'd told the OIG "yeah, I pretty much took it as I should cease doing business with this or that outfit or find myself under scrutiny"? The notion of banks as independent institutions, stalwarts, unafraid of the .Gov is a myth. I don't regard this as anything but Committee pacification.
They need to get some people on the dais, under oath, on the record, on TV, and let's finally have someone call someone a liar, there in the room. Otherwise, the Emperor's clothes look just fine.
