Depends on the nature of the investigation. If the FFL is hiding gun sales, or selling under the table (Im not suggesting this was actually happening).
this is true but it depends on the size of the discrepancy. eg: If they sell 1000 guns but only have 100 4473s then there's an issue kinda thing.
We don't. Only that it was reported that 4473's were not listed on the warrant. A warrant is not a blank check to go on a fishing expedition. The scope of a warrant must be clearly defined.
Reported by the Gateway Pundit?
Often almost in verbatim
You're really stuck on that hu??
You really believe that?
lol, no. the Gateway Pundit really is a fake news site. That you can bank on.You're really stuck on that hu??
Reported by numerous outlets in the FFL owners own words and a copy of the warrant supplied to the congressman that he used to draft a letter to the alphabets with specific questions demanding answers to those very points.
What's interesting.... for you... one outlet says one thing. Another internet source says 'they're lying'... so you believe the second internet source without a doubt... just because they said so? What about the 3rd source that claims the 2nd source are the liars? We'll flip flop again??
The aggregate information seems to indicate there was some truth to it, and I highly doubt a congressman would be demanding answers from the alphabets if there is absolutely no founding to base those questions on.
Agreed. A lot of outlets are reporting nearly the same storyline. The baseline theory would then be that the FFL, the sitting congressman, individuals who were supposedly interviewed that witnessed the raid and alphabet agencies being reported as confirming there is an ongoing investigation are all lying in an effort to make the alphabets look bad.
IOW... all news is bogus unless verifiable documentation is provided to the average Joe citizen.

Talk about tin hat conspiracy theories!!
You really think that all the outlets carrying this story sent reporters there to investigate and report on the story? That's not reporting, that's filling space so the ads don't bump into each otherThat's not what I said. Do they grand stand? Yes. Bend the facts to fit an agenda? Certainly.
I guess everyone does it different and not everything is going to be perfectly transparent. But I read at least 3 separate articles on any given subject. In this case the only thing thats consistent is this was an IRS raid.IOW... all news is bogus unless verifiable documentation is provided to the average Joe citizen.
First hand accounts of those involved are meaningless....
The pundit may be a rag... maybe it's all a hoax... maybe comments regarding the case from the alphabets offices are fictitious... and maybe even the congressman's "letter" is just photoshopped. It could happen.
"Reporting", "repeating"... little difference... and, no. I never even insinuated that each sent reporters on scene to independently investigate. Putting words in my mouth to suggest that's what I was saying is weak.FIFY
"Lying" requires the individual know the truth and than chose to act or say things in a way contrary to the truth I doubt any of them folks you listed know "the truth" as in the objective truth and are instead relying on what they think they know, that being the subjective truth, so they would NOT be lying but may be running their mouths off before all facts are in
a claim without evidence is not a fact until otherwise proven. There is plenty of evidence the Gateway Pundit lies...
I just get a kick out of it. [paraphrasing] "They didn't provide irrefutable proof that they are telling the truth... so that's irrefutable proof that they are lying."
