this is making me realize Trump wasn't able to do a drop in the bucket to get rid of these the first time around.

he's done more in a week to purge them than 4 years.

do i think he's going to get even 50% out of government in 4 years? probably not but hell you gotta start somewhere.

Kash will fire his arse soon

When are the confirmation votes for Patel and Gabbard?

There's the problem. These fricks view themselves as a sacred fraternity. The Bureau must be protected. They put loyalty to the Bureau and their brothers as the highest importance. Sworn to protect it at all costs.

youre fired

Can "acting" officials be fired or replaced easily? I can't figure out why he's still around.

Then it's time for a new acting director, immediately. Obviously conflicted and incapable of doing what's asked of him.

Fire him. If he’s got some kind of defensible civil service protection, bust him all the way down to lowest agent level, let him keep his pay, and send him to the Minot, North Dakota field office. He’ll remove himself quickly enough.

In his email, Mr. Driscoll expressed his reluctance to comply with the Justice Department’s first request to identify employees who worked on Jan. 6 cases.

However, according to sources, he refused the DOJ’s demand altogether after its subsequent request, which was to provide by late Monday detailed information on how each employee was involved, and to what extent, in the 1,300 cases.

Thousands of FBI employees’ names are currently on the list.

“You have a lot of people that were like, ’Oh, I’ll do a couple of misdemeanor arrests. No big deal.’ But they did them, and so those people fully expect to be gone,” one former FBI source said. “And other people that were working on them may be gone, too, no matter how much work they’ve done.”

The FBI told The Washington Times that Mr. Driscoll is still the acting director, but there is speculation among current and former FBI agents over whether he will remain in that position after refusing Mr. Bove’s order.

Sources said that Mr. Driscoll’s team drove him to Newark, New Jersey, where he previously headed the field office.

FBI agents are said to be in a panic and a protest by employees and former employees Monday at the Washington Field Office and headquarters are in the planning stages.

The Justice Department has not responded to requests for comment.
According to sources, at least 20 FBI executive assistant directors, assistant directors and special agents in charge throughout the U.S. were forced out of the agency on Thursday.

FBI officials who lost their posts or were forced to retire include Jeffrey Veltri, special agent in charge of the Miami field office; Spencer Evans, special agent in charge of the Las Vegas field office; and David Sundberg, assistant director in charge of the Washington, D.C., field office.

The Times also learned that squads of FBI agents were escorted out of field offices in New York, Miami and Washington. Agents who were escorted from the Miami office were involved in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case.

... It was a big damn deal to the folks who got shipped off to the DC Kangaroo Courts, then jailed.
