“So either the ATF agents who went after Adamiak knew it and concealed it from the court and from defense attorneys, in which case they committed a crime, or they were unaware of this previous ruling, in which case they were too incompetent to look for any such ruling.” I say both.
Patrick “Tate” Adamiak is a terrifying case. He didn’t break any laws. That’s obvious from the evidence for anyone who cares to look at it and knows anything about firearms. The ATF basically manipulated everything in the case to send an innocent Navy sailor to prison for 20 years, and we’ve looked at much of the evidence that shows it was nonsense.
But now, it seems even the ATF knows that at least one of the charges was bogus. They even admitted it, though not directly.
This comes to us from Lee Williams at The Gun Writer, who has been knee-deep in this case and bringing the facts of Adamiak’s plight to light. There, he’s got an interesting look at the RPGs that Adamiak had, which the ATF told the court was a destructive device, and what landed the man in prison.
