Hogs gotta eat too.
Throwback to Susan Collins supporting Xiden's (2nd) nominee:Quote:Forcelli didn't just write a book on Operation Fast & Furious. He was one of the whistleblowers who called attention to the gunwalking scandal, and suffered retaliation from higher-ups in Obama's Justice Department for his actions.Quote:
Transition officials have told gun rights groups that they do not expect Mr. Trump to pick an A.T.F. director before next spring, but caution that he is just as likely to tap somebody on impulse, at any moment, without consulting his transition team.
Those said to be under consideration are: Blake Masters, a far-right conservative in Arizona who is close to the financier Peter Thiel and who mounted a failed bid for a House seat; Peter J. Forcelli, a former bureau official who wrote a book on the "Fast and Furious" scandal; Larry Keane, the head of the gun manufacturers' trade association; and several current and former top A.T.F. officials, including Robert Cekada, Daniel Board and Rick Dressler.
Forcelli's also been a regular guest on Cam & Co since the release of his book The Deadly Path: How Operation Fast & Furious and Bad Lawyers Armed Mexican Cartels earlier this year, and I consider him to be a friend, so I'm thrilled that he's being considered for the top slot at BATFE.
Steve Dettlebach, Biden's ATF nominee, is supposed to be confirmed this week. But, as @PunchbowlNews reports, some ailing Dem Senators may complicate things. Seems they'll have to rely on Rs Collins and Portman to get him through... pic.twitter.com/9qGdUaphOM

Thune is not Majority Leader until the new session begins Jan 3rd. So he likely is working on a schedule but can't release it yet.LMCane said:
anyone have a schedule about who and when the hearings and the votes will take place?
it would be interesting to track the REAL progress being made in staffing up the Administration day by day
