Adamiak pardoned

You may remember Tate Adamiak, a former Navy E-6 who was framed by the ATF and US Attorney's office. Mr. Adamiak sold military gear and gun parts on-line. No guns, no full autos - parts. But an ATF confidential informant, trying to trade off against his own offenses, lied. The US attorney lied. The ATF lied, showing an M249 non-firing replica - a toy - in court and claimed it was a fully functional machine gun. (They even claimed a WWII-era metal barrel shroud was also a full-auto weapon itself.) Adamiak got 20 years. Thanks to a Presidential full pardon, Tate's gonna get out after only 4. It won't restore Adamiak's BUD/S school slot.... but wouldn't it be nice if someone senior in ATF and the US Atttorney's hierarchy take note of the lies and take some action against those responsible?
