Andrew Traver nominated for director of ATFE

Today the Administration announced the nomination of Andrew Traver to head up ATFE: it's a post requiring Senate confirmation.

His background is "in the field" rather than in HQ, which seems a good thing. On the other hand, Truth About Guns is no fan of his.

Update: Only Guns and Money has an extensive post on his background, noting that agents posting on CleanUpATF.org have not been enthusiastic about the pick.
