Reports Of Melson Out At ATF

[mrjarrell]

David Codrea is reporting that acting head Melson is out at ATF. He's received reports that the never confirmed head of ATF has been transferred to some other position in the DoJ. This story is still developing, but it shows there's some kind of shakeup going on at ATF. Most of us would prefer that Melson does the perp walk for Gun Walker, but this is something.

Well, the good news is the guy that is partially responsible for this felonious scam

Melson was just a peon in this scheme. We all know who was responsible for this, and who directed it.

Kenneth Melson, acting ATF chief, steps down - Jennifer Epstein - POLITICO.com

Looks like it breaking now. He's being replaced by some guy from Minnesota. A lawyer. At least it wasn't the anti gun tool from Chicago.

All they need is 1 guy to take it on the chin .... do they usually promote the guy though?

I like the part about him needing to hold on a little longer to get his retirement benefits. He is still getting a paycheck. He simply got shuffled to a new position and will still receive his retirement.

Sounds like another job opening for somebody from chicago.

I wonder if the NSSF got the e-invite to the ATF's recent gun control party that Kirk spoke about. They seem...chummy.

OK let me get this straight.

He was NOT fired.

He was NOT disciplined.

He was NOT prosecuted for breaking the law.

He is STILL getting PAID.

He was laterally moved into a new position in a different department. So he probably will still get his gubmint pension, health benefits, etc.

How is this a "win" for the taxpayers, freedom lovers, or other subjects of the US?

It wasn't - he's just getting paid back for not dropping the dirt on Holder et al...


It's the Chicago machine... follow the money
