Big deal. So Melson's out. The Obama Administration will just replace him with another corrupt goon bent on destroying the 2A.

And the internal, secret pogroms against other potential whistleblowers will continue apace.

I saw an article in the early 90's called something like "Failing your way to the top."

I remember a framing contractor on a large CA housing tract who managed to screw up everything possible and the contractor was finally fired.

Next thing we know, the framing contractor himself was the superintendent of the same tract.

Unbelievable. Ignoring all the political implications of moving Melson to Justice - with likely big perks and all that, and the ability to control his testimony regarding GunWalker in the future - this is a prime example of failing his way to the top. I'm shocked, just SHOCKED that this happened.

If the job description of ATF is purportedly to prevent illegal use and sales of small arms, he failed miserably.

Reminds me of benighted Attorney General Janet Reno "taking responsibility" for the mishandling and subsequent murders of women and children at Waco.

Note to criminals everywhere - just assume responsibility for your crimes, cite Reno/Melson ad nauseam, and walk away free. Of course - that only works if you're a federal employee...

This puts Melson under the thumb of holder and may stop him from talking further.

David, great work man!

As I was checking my Yahoo! Email, it was the leading Top Story "ATF cheif reassigned after botched arms sting" - not exactly the most accurate headline, but it works!

You're a bonefide American Hero now.
