President Biden’s second choice to lead the ATF has secured the backing of famed judicial figures, including the team that put Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols behind bars.
President Joe Bidens nominee to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Steve Dettelbach speaks during an event about gun violence in the Rose Garden of the White House April 11, 2022 in Washington, D.C. | Drew Angerer/Getty ImagesPresident Joe Biden’s second pick to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has secured the backing of a prominent group of legal figures.
Seven members of the prosecution team in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing case, including the lead attorney Joe Hartzler, sent a letter to the top senators on the Senate Judiciary Committee Thursday praising Biden’s nominee: Steve Dettelbach. The team’s successful prosecution secured the conviction of Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, who carried out the bombing of the Alfred P.
The former federal prosecutors praised Dettelbach’s work prosecuting cases involving violent extremists, including one man who firebombed an Ohio courthouse, noting that he used evidence gathered by ATF agents. “Mr. Dettelbach also worked with a team of ATF agents and other law enforcement officers to prosecute the man who torched a mosque in Toledo, Ohio,” the team wrote in a letter first obtained by POLITICO. “So, Mr. Dettelbach has the direct professional experience that qualifies him to lead the ATF.”
“Although it has been 27 years since McVeigh and Nichols attempted to inspire a violent insurrection to overthrow the United States government, we remember vividly – and with great respect and enduring gratitude – the role that several ATF agents played in bringing these two domestic terrorists to justice” the prosecution team recalled in the letter.
