The report places most of the blame on Phoenix-based ATF officials including SAC William Newell, group supervisor David Voth, and the lead case agent Hope McAllister.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>Those familiar with the contents say ATF Phoenix officials shoulder much blame, including then-Special Agent in Charge Bill Newell, the lead Fast and Furious case agent Hope MacAllister, and group supervisor David Voth.<\/p>\n<p>Since the controversy was first exposed, a divide has developed between the ATF staff in Phoenix who oversaw and implemented Fast and Furious; and their supervisors at ATF headquarters and the Justice Department. The Phoenix officials say higher-ups approved of the case. But the higher-ups say it was all the brainchild of rogue ATF officials in Phoenix. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Also being singled out for blame in Project Gunwalker are former US Attorney for Arizona Dennis Burke, his assistant Emory Hurley, and former Acting ATF Director Kenneth Melson.<\/p>\n<p>The draft report is expected to be released within the next few weeks. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-CA) has scheduled a hearing for September 11th on the report and has asked DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz to testify. <a href=\"http:\/\/thehill.com\/blogs\/blog-briefing-room\/news\/245291-issa-asks-official-to-testify-on-long-awaited-fast-and-furious-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">In a letter sent to Horowitz on Friday<\/a>, August 24th, Issa warned the DOJ about taking a longer than usual amount of time to review the draft report.<\/p>\n<p>As to the conclusions of the draft report and who leaked it to Sharyl Attkission, <a href=\"http:\/\/sipseystreetirregulars.blogspot.com\/2012\/08\/cbs-exclusive-fast-and-furious-ig.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mike Vanderboegh had this comment:<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>Well, there&#8217;s a big surprise.
