In the non fiction book No Heroes, about the start of the elite HRT(hostage rescue team), the FBI author(who founded & ran HRT) wrote about offering a FBI special agent job to a ATF agent who assisted him on a federal investigation.
It seems to me that the DoJ & FBI could absorb some of the ATF bomb, ballistics, K9, arson, etc specialists with few major conflicts.
Latterial transfers or switching agencies are common for US government employees(GS scale) so why couldn't an entire federal agency be cut?
