Fox Ticker reporting that the Inspector General for the ATF improperly turned over evidence including tape recordings to ATF Agents who were under investigation. Checking for more info.

I read somewhere that the information was turned over to the U.S. Attorney's Office in AZ which originally handled the prosecutions before recusing itself. The IG did it because it was exculpatory (helpful to the defendant) and had to be turned over to the defendant under the Supreme Court's interpretation of the Constitution. Assuming this is true, I have no problem with the IG doing so so long as it wasn't a facade to funnel sensitive information about the investigation to government employees being investigated.
