Good. The FBI needs to be completely purged of the entrenched corrupt political hacks.

WASHINGTON (AP) A senior FBI official who served as acting director in the first weeks of the Trump administration and resisted demands to turn over the names of agents who participated in the Jan. 6, 2021, investigations is being forced out of the bureau, two people familiar with the matter said Thursday.
The circumstances of Brian Driscoll's ouster were not immediately clear, but his final day is Friday, said the people, who were not authorized to discuss the personnel move by name and spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity.

...

The news comes amid a much broader personnel purge that has unfolded over the last several months under the leadership of current FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino. Numerous senior officials including top agents in charge of big-city field offices have been pushed out of their jobs and some agents have been subjected to polygraph exams, moves that former officials say have roiled the workforce and contributed to angst.

Quote:

Driscoll was named acting director in January to replace Christopher Wray and served in the position as Patel's nomination was pending.

He made headlines after he and Rob Kissane, the then-deputy director, resisted Trump administration demands for information about agents who participated in investigations into the Jan. 6 riot by a mob of President Donald Trump's supporters at the U.S. Capitol.

The AP failed to mention all the FBI has done to earn the scrutiny. Just describes Strozk and Page as having sent texts that spoke negatively about Trump.

AP is fake news. But glad this guy is off our payroll. He's unfit to serve.

There has to come a day when nobody watching MSNBC causes them to rethink their business model. Maybe not, but I just can't see hemorrhaging money month after month.

Good. I hope these folks keep resisting and exposing themselves. Being able to identify them makes the purge easier.

Oh my gosh! Contributed to FBI employees angst! Heaven forbid.

How can we allow that to happen when those sweet FBI employees cared so much about the angst of the people they were investigating?

What a bunch of hypocritical crybabies. Grow a pear.

Absolutely - shut them all down, and let's have a national conversation about what we need, how they're structured, who has oversight and the path forward. Agents can reapply for jobs in the new organizations if they qualify.

Elections are when people find out what politicians stand for, and politicians find out what people will fall for.
