"David Olofson's Revenge"--Documents Related to ATF

It seems that David Olofson, the man targeted by the ATF for unjust and unusual punishment related to 'firearms violations,' can get at least some measure of revenge by 'this call for documents related to the ATF.'

Here is an excerpt from the article:

It happens that I was recently clued in to an excellent source on the ATF: the reports of the Congressional Research Service. These reports are available to every Congressman and Senator. Occasionally, the rest of us get to see them when they are leaked by one of the 635 elect or one of their staff.

Here is one from last year, leaked to the excellent website, WikiLeaks, which is an analysis of the ATF's budget and operations. There is another such annual report due now. It strikes me that this could be an excellent hobby for someone with connections to a congressional staffer -- download, print out, pdf file, post on the Internet and otherwise get these documents out into the public domain where they can be analyzed by experts in the Second Amendment community.
