Seriously? Tell me if we have this right. SA Andy Traver is/was the unconifrmsble nominee for Director. He is a SES SAC in Chicago which he applied for. He has realized that he is NOT nor will he ever be the Director of this Bureau, or they would have made him Acting Director to show his skilled leadership. So he sits completely silent for over one year,(throughout the entirety of the Biggest law enforcement scandal in this great Bureaus history)(I thought he had retired or left the country)and now is leaving a SAC job to fill a SAC job in Denver where he is from and has history. HOWEVER, IF he were to either retire in one year OR actually be confirmed as Director, NOW Denver gets yet another SAC and the tax payers get ANOTHER new SAC. Does anybody get the TOTAL lack of continuity prevading this Bureau? Whats next, Ford to Chicago so he can retire? Perhaps this is exactly why ATF will be audited. Gross waste fraud and abuse? How can they possibly justify the constant SES moves for a yr or yr and a half. How can Marvin Richardson maintain much less advance as an SES when the OIG stated emphatecally he lacked candor, (lied on multiple occasions)? So the more things change, the more they stay the same. Buyout dozens of senior experienced agents and beg more money for brand new hires?
Now Vince, don't you realize that the ATF "leadership" needs to spend those new millions of $ that were recently handed to them. Surely you don't think they'd waste that money on new equipment or anything else that might be productive do you?
