I thought everyone knew, ATF is staffed from the dregs of other agencies.
It’s extremely hard to FIRE any Fed. without a criminal conviction that no one want to see go public, transfers to another agency are much easier.
The wash-out’s eventually hit bottom at ATF.
Not all ATF personnel are transfers from other agencies, ATF does do some direct hiring.
But since those transferring in to ATF bring some seniority, guess who tends to end up in charge?
It is not the young college graduates with integrity and career hopes, they have no seniority, and have to start from the bottom.
where did you get this crock of malarkey?
Now that is scarey.
The power this agency has with regards to everyday Americans lives should at the very least require highly trained and ethical leaders.
Not by a guy that lies to Congress.
For the younger Agents it must be disheartening to work under these conditions. The young ones probably joined to fight drugs and illegal guns.
