This should the first in a vey long line of resignations.Obama being the last one.I just know deep down that he wants new gun laws so bad that he would be stupid enough to plot this to make a climate where those could be passed.
I wish those of us that got all exited about those hearings back in the 90’s could help the youngsters on here not get so fired up about this mess.
Nothing was done about the criminal at the top then, and nothing will be done now.
The whole ATF would be a good place to start, then continue chopping!
Millions of telephone calls to our Elected Elitists must commence to inform them that We The People have had our fill of their BS and the DC corruption. Let the investigations, indictments, and prison sentences begin.
At this point, without a doubt it goes all the way to the top. To the Won who resides at 1600 Penn. Ave.
Obam Bam is in this up to his Indonesian neck.
If one anti-gun ahole resigns (read lays low for a few months and then surfaces in another high 5 figure government “job”) he will be promptly be replaced by someone just as bad or worse.

Don’t let him off that easy! This goes way higher than acting director of the ATF.
It couldn’t be done without Homeland, the DOJ and other agencies.
I’ll tell you about him when I get home, not good is an understatement.
Look up Obama and the Joyce Foundation (add the UN).
Thx, info is good.
One Democrat once opined: “A fish rots rom the head down”..
No, it isn’t corruption, it’s a political dirty trick designed to subvert the second amendment of the constitution and a clear violation of any high official’s oath of office.
If this was approved by Obama or anyone in the cabinet, it should be considered an impeachable offense.
Hola Gato Girlene!
At a minimum. They've been working on Gun Control "under the radar". That is the Oval Office.
“some of which ended up in the hands of cartels in Mexico.”
“Some”. Well, gee, that doesn’t sound too bad, now does it? “Some” probably just means a few, like maybe a half a dozen or so, right? Wrong. Several thousand U.S. firearms “walked” into Mexico, aided and abetted by Obama’s ATF, and can now be discovered only when they turn up at a crime scene where people have been injured or killed.
Leave it to the Communists at CNN to describe several thousand firearms as “some”. The same Communists who will describe three boxes of .22 cartridges as “thousands of round of ammunition”.
Every single person that participated in ANY part of this “program” should be fired...
