Illuminating Hidden Truths

What are Touhy regulations?

Have you ever wondered how federal agents avoid testifying or avoid depositions when involved in state cases.

The term “Touhy regulations” derives from the Supreme Court’s decision in United States
ex rel. Touhy v. Regan, 340 U.S. 462 (1951). 

Touhy letters are one of many hurdles required by the federal government to force government agents to testify during a trial, or provide depositions for state courts.  In essence another "Immunity Card" federal agents have to protect themselves in cases where agents acted in violation of state or federal laws, or to conceal evidence that may be beneficial to defense.

 In many cases, federal agents working with state or municipal law enforcement agency's use the "Touhy Letter"  hurdle to either bar or prevent them from providing evidence of illegal or criminal acts committed by federal agents while working with state or municipal law enforcement agencies.

Each agency creates it's own rules to conceal  their dirty laundry. 

In Milwaukee, we have had several violations of law, ethics and fraud conspired against the public by the inept, derelict and dangerous ATF.

Milwaukee County Corruption is in process of identifying all the Milwaukee "players" at the ATF for the public to view.
