One ATF official told me they were reviewing Adamiak’s case to get a U.S. Attorney to release him from prison. That ATF official is no longer returning calls. I think he was just playing for time and trying to stop us from telling Adamiak’s story.
Appearing on Morning Joe show last week, Johnson pointedly refused to give a direct answer to persistent questions on whether more police would reduce crime, and instead doubled down on poverty and more gun control.
