REPORT: ATF DIRECTOR EXPECTED TO RESIGN UNDER PRESSURE... DEVELOPING...

[Travis McGee]

The pension is chump chage at this table. They are playing for much higher stakes, including continued breathing rights.

[mewzilla]

Moves toward the replacement of Kenneth Melson, acting ATF director since April 2009,

How the heck did Melson manage to stay acting director without being confirmed?

[El Cid]

People were killed due to this deliberate act to get guns into the hands of the Mexican Drug cartel ... with the expectation that people would get killed (and then to use the results to 'spotlight' the claim that American firearms fueled these drug war deaths - and thus drive the ATF's objective to deny American citizens access to firearms).

This wasn't homicide due to negligence, this was homicide as an expected outcome of the ATF actions. Resigning one's job should just be a precursor to prison time.

[Joe Boucher]

Resign?
What ever happened to falling on ones sword?

Film at 6:00

[jazusamo]

It’d be sweet if Melson rats out his boss Eric Holder.

[savagesusie]

Holder has to go....This is just an underling.

[Miss Behave]

"Issas should haul this guy before the committee and force him to finger Holder."

Yep. NOTHING less.

[God luvs America]

agreed- if crimes were committed that lay at his feet the task of getting him to sing like a bird would be much easier...

[rokkitapps]

probably announce a resignation and then just keep the job like weiner..

[screaminsunshine]

MSM cares not. Might make Dear Leader look bad.

[clamper1797]

Sacrificial lamb

[Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears]

And for some reason, when I click the link, Drudge has now determined that a story on airports seizing snowglobes is more important that this.

What?????

[Trailerpark Badass]

How the heck did Melson manage to stay acting director without being confirmed?

Because Republicans are cowards?

[Lurker]

Issa needs to slap this creep with a subpeona and I mean RFN. Get him under oath and let’s find out who authorized this monstrosity.

[thecabal]

Big whoop. One stooge replaced with another, yet the subversion of our rights carries on while barely hitting a small pothole in the road.

If the GOP had any kind of principles, they would defund and disband ATF, but since they are just the Judas Goat to get half of us to walk the garden path to the totalitarian stockyard, they won't.

[Hoodat]

Report on Melson ouster further boosts confidential source credibility

[EQAndyBuzz]

Meanwhile everyone missed the most important part.

Holder is gong to hire the ATF guy from CHICAGO.

[Joe Brower]

Looks like a scapegoat has been chosen and will now be sacrificed with all due alacrity, so that the corrupt bastards who are really behind this whole bloody scheme can get off scott-free.

Their media lackeys will decry the "heartless persecution" from the Republicans and pretend like the whole affair is now over, so that their political taskmasters can continue to move ahead with the agenda.

[Hoodat]

He will probably go back to teaching at GWU. Yet another Ivory Tower college professor in the Obama Administration who doesn’t know the first thing about the real world.

[P8riot]

Attorney General Eric Holder will meet Tuesday with Andrew Traver, head of the ATF field office in Chicago, about potentially serving as acting director of the agency, according to the sources.

This guy needs to be prevented.
