There's a major reshuffling at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms amid the Fast and Furious "gunwalking" scandal. In making the announcement this afternoon, Acting Director Todd Jones told reporters "we're gonna hit the reset button."Uh, when is Eric Holder's "demotion" coming?
Among the changes, the current acting director of the beleaguered ATF Phoenix office where Fast and Furious was based, Tom Brandon, is being moved to Washington DC headquarters as Deputy Director. Brandon temporarily took over in Phoenix after the transfer of Special Agent in Charge Bill Newell, who led Fast and Furious.
Two key figures at ATF headquarters who were involved in Fast and Furious, and have testified before Congress, are being demoted. They include ATF Deputy Director Billy Hoover, who will become the Special Agent in Charge of the Washington field division; and Mark Chait, Assistant Director in Charge of Field Operations, who will become Special Agent in Charge of the Baltimore field division.
There's speculation Sharyl Attkisson is being silenced by CBS. Sure doesn't appear to be the case.

Um, sorry guy, when you're part of government, and especially part of law-enforcement, you don't get a free "Oopsies! Do-Over!" card. You get indicted. And your teammates who were "promoted" and are now "out of the country on important assignments" and therefore "can't come to Washington to testify before Congress" need to be FORCED to appear.
