Context. The passage says "Scott is the director of the ATF"; the name "Rob Daskal" appears nowhere in the passage or the rest of the post. The passage's "Rob" references concern "Rob Cicada", a name correction.

Context. Earlier sources show Kash Patel and Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll serving as acting ATF heads in 2025, but none mention anyone named Rob Daskal as ATF director.[1]
