Army Secretary Dan Driscoll to lead ATF, replacing FBI Director Kash Patel
A source close to Patel said the ATF was removed from his plate because he wanted to focus on the FBI

U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll was tapped to serve as the acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), replacing FBI Director Kash Patel, who was appointed to the role in February, according to a U.S. defense official.

Driscoll was notified of the appointment on Wednesday while traveling in Europe, the defense official told Fox News.

He will fulfill both roles, continuing to serve as the Army secretary while overseeing the ATF.

A source close to Patel told Fox News Digital that the ATF was taken off his plate because he wanted to focus on the bureau.

"It was never supposed to be a long-term thing. He was happy to serve, of course, but his job is the director of the FBI," the source said.

Hailing from North Carolina, Driscoll, an Army veteran and venture capitalist, was chosen by Trump to serve as secretary of the Army. Driscoll, who is a senior advisor to Vice President JD Vance, fought with the 10th Mountain Division as a cavalry scout platoon leader in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Apparently Patel never bothered to show up much at the ATF to begin cleaning house, preferring instead to spend his questionable free time living a new celebrity life style and going to hockey games and such.

He won't last long at FBI...

So you say.  Which around here means squat.

Getting your talking points from Russian TV tells me a lot about you.

If Russian State media likes Patel what does that tell you about him?
