He has been replaced by Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll after he reportedly did not show face in an ATF facility for weeks.

Summary

Kash Patel has been removed as acting ATF director after reportedly not appearing at ATF facilities for weeks, while maintaining his FBI Director role.

Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll will now serve in both his current position and as ATF acting director.

ATF staff were “shocked and confused” by the sudden change, which officials tried to claim was due to Patel’s full workload at the FBI rather than performance issues.

The leadership shuffle comes as DOJ officials consider merging the ATF with the DEA to reduce costs.

    It gets better and better every day. Holy shit I couldn’t write this comedy. If it weren’t real life I would be rolling.

    Patel is in charge of the ATF and the FBI. Can’t hack both jobs, ghosts the ATF.

    These chucklefucks remove Patel and instead of finding someone from the 4-mile long list of law enforcement officials qualified to run the ATF, they pick the Secretary of the Army. Who also has a full fucking time job as Secretary of the Army.

    I am sure this will work out great, what does the Secretary of the Army do anyway? They both deal with Explosives and firearms. That’s 2 out of 4 yeah?

    Jesus Christ.
