Why Is a Navy Vet Still Sitting in Prison When Nothing ATF Found in His Home Was Illegal?

Why indeed.

Anyone who still believes that former U.S. Navy Petty Officer 1st Class Patrick “Tate” Adamiak must have done something wrong or illegal in order to justify his 20-year federal prison sentence need only look at the documents his team has just released.

The documents are damning, but not for Adamiak.

The documents are damning for the ATF.

The documents show that the ATF was severely screwed after they stormed into Adamiak’s home based solely on an informant’s misinformation, because they found nothing illegal.

The documents show how the ATF then took extremely questionable steps to charge the now 31-year-old with illegally possessing 31 machineguns and four destructive devices, even though none of the items the ATF found are actually machineguns or destructive devices.

After their botched raid, the ATF had to try something – anything – to avoid looking like complete idiots, Adamiak’s father believes.

However, the actions ATF took only made the entire situation much worse. Adamiak had no prior criminal record until the ATF kicked in his doors. He was already in the pipeline to become a U.S. Navy SEAL.

For those who value freedom, even a quick review of Adamiak’s documents will bring on confusion and possibly even anger – none more so than the page about his toy STEN submachinegun.

By “toy,” they are in fact talking about a plastic Sten replica, a child’s non-functional plaything that the ATF extensively, radically modified until they’d gotten their Frankensteinian creation to successfully fire one (1) round, at which point they went after their intended prey for his nonexistent “crime” like a pack of half-starved wolves falling upon a fat, stray lamb.

The eager-beaver FederalGovCo employee behind this outrageous assault against that lovely lady with the scales and the blindfold we’re all familiar with, but have seen less and less of in recent years, has a name, a face, and a home address (bold mine, as ever).

The government’s case against Adamiak was led by two Assistant U.S. Attorneys, but their main witness became the real reason why a jury found Adamiak guilty, and a federal judge sentenced him to 20 years in prison.

Jeffrey R. Bodell, who works out of a small ATF office in Martinsburg, West Virginia, was the state’s main witness.

Bodell is an ATF Firearms Enforcement Officer, or FEO, who has worked in ATF’s Firearms and Ammunition Technology Division since he was hired in November 2020.

When he took the stand to testify about what he did to Adamiak’s firearms, Bodell had been an ATF employee for less than two years.

Most damning was the fact that this was the first time Bodell had ever testified at any trial. He is also the ATF staffer who turned toys into firearms and legal semi-autos into machineguns.

There’s a photo of the Swamp rat at the link; he looks about like you’d expect. The scum-slurping shitstain shoulda pulled hemp, been gunned down from afar, or dragged a cpl-three miles behind a beat-up old pickup long ago, if you ask me. For his part, Mr Adamiak has a little something to say about this wretched villainy his own self.

It’s incredible that all of this even happened. Now, there are new prosecutors assigned to my appeal. I wish they had the courage to make the hard call and step up and admit that a mistake was made and then correct it. Don’t let me sit in prison any longer. This was Joe Biden’s fault, not President Trump’s.

“A mistake was made”? Sorry, youngster, but that ain’t gonna cut it. It’s a safe bet that not a single thing went down here that wasn’t fully intentional, scripted right down to the Nth detail, and approved in advance by Bodell’s superiors. You can be sure, too, that there’s an official manual in every ATF office which spells out the operational plan for such a campaign; all the gear needed to successfully execute it; best training regimen for readying the field team(s) tasked with its implementation; and the most convincing way to deny all involvement and/or knowledge at press conferences after the mission has gone off the rails, blown up in your face, and become public knowledge.

Neither will it do to ladle blame over Trump or Biden for this ugly business. For one thing, it’s just too easy, and will distract attention from larger, more burning issues. For another, we all already know damned well who’s to blame anyway, whether we wish to admit it or no. Ultimately, the true malefactor, the crème de la culprit responsible for the abhorrent, ongoing persecution of Tate Adamiak is Amerika v2.0’s rogue, illegitimate, out of control Federal bloatocracy, regardless of which empty suit pretends to be nominally in charge of it at any given time.
