Summary

Kash Patel has been removed as acting ATF director after reportedly not appearing at ATF facilities for weeks, while maintaining his FBI Director role.

Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll will now serve in both his current position and as ATF acting director.

ATF staff were “shocked and confused” by the sudden change, which officials tried to claim was due to Patel’s full workload at the FBI rather than performance issues.

The leadership shuffle comes as DOJ officials consider merging the ATF with the DEA to reduce costs.

    Well this is just temporary… Once they merge the ATF with the DEA they can shoot your dog, burst turn your door, shove a gun in your face, ransack your house, only then realize they have the wrong address, and threaten you to stay quiet

    Think of the efficiencies! Think of the savings!

      If they train with local police they can skip all the threats because they will have shot you just before they shoot your dog.
