After doing more digging I stumbled upon an article from Town Hall about a famous NIU alum who is the current NCIS director Andrew Traver. The article states that Mr. Traver was originally Obama’s pick for the director of the ATF.
Apparently, his confirmation was stalled in the senate for nearly a year. This is where this story gets confusing to me. He was upset about it so Obama moves him from his position as ATF director of the Chicago office to Denver which cost taxpayers about a million dollars.
So if I’m following this correctly, Andrew Traver, who is buddies with Obama and Rahm Emanuel, is angry at the Senate for not getting confirmed as ATF Director, but somehow becomes Director of the NCIS? Something really stinks about this…
