Bad Lawyers and Government Guns: The Cartel Connection Nobody Talks About
Episode 2
Monday, 12 January, 2026
We here at PAIN are honored to have welcomed Peter J. Forcelli, a recently retired Deputy Assistant Director of the Department of Justice’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), where he served as head of training to the Don't Hide The Scars podcast. Forcelli is a respected investigator noted for developing complex criminal investigations targeting armed gangs and criminal organizations. He has made over one thousand arrests and has served over three hundred search warrants. He is well regarded by those who have worked with him for his unwavering commitment to what he calls “investigative excellence.” His work in the investigation into the Neese Bello Organization led to members of the group pleading guilty to over 145 home-invasion-style robberies. Still, Forcelli is best known for his efforts to fight for justice in instances where he has uncovered injustice. He has been involved in the exoneration of eight people who were wrongfully arrested and convicted in the Bronx, New York, for murders they did not commit. Forcelli is also a cancer survivor—he developed lung cancer from the rescue and recovery efforts at Ground Zero. He is a recurring guest speaker at the 9/11 Memorial & Museum in New York City. Peter, along with coauthor Keelin MacGregor wrote The Deadly Path: How Operation Fast & Furious and Bad Lawyers Armed Mexican Cartels. The book is a raw and unflinching account that details the harrowing journey for Peter as a whistleblower in the Fast and Furious federal scandal, Forcelli shows the public and personal cost of standing up for justice and public safety.
