That NEWELL guy lied at the House hearing today.
The ATFBE is apparently ran by the dregs of Law enforcement.
Or they have to much power, maybe both.
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.
