ATF’s case against the former sailor should trouble the scandal-plagued agency.

by more than 40 stories describing the ATF’s case. We’ve examined each piece of evidence, from two DEWAT grenade launchers to several toy machineguns, which ATF’s own expert claimed were real.
Our stories have been examined by a bevy of experts at multiple levels, and a vital point became crystal clear: Tate should not be behind bars. In fact, he should never have been charged much less sentenced to serve 20 years in prison. Until the ATF kicked down his doors, he had never been charged with a single crime.
Tate Adamiak was a gun collector who only sold legal gun parts until a paid ATF informant—who was facing his own felony charges—falsely reported that he had a Mk-19 grenade launcher. The informant’s lies led to the search warrant and ridiculous charges.
Adamiak is currently housed in a decaying federal prison at Fort Dix, New Jersey. FCI Fort Dix has both low and medium security federal inmates
Tate was also thinking about his mother on Tuesday.
“She was a Broadway ballet dancer. I was supposed to see her April 7th and drive home to surprise her. Instead, I was in jail. I never got to see her that night and I never saw her again. She was the sweetest person in the world. I miss her cooking,” Adamiak said from prison Tuesday. “This whole thing has completely destroyed my life’s trajectory.”
Joe Biden’s ATF is long gone, thankfully. As we have said before, it is time to see what, if anything, ATF’s new leadership is willing to do for Patrick “Tate” Adamiak.
