Follows shakeup at DOJ for lawyers who worked on Jack Smith’s lawfare against Trump
WND By Bob Unruh
Members on a list of leading FBI executives have been ordered to retire, resign, or be fired as early as Monday, according to reports.
CNN confirmed that the notifications extend “a purge that began last week at the Justice Department across the street.”
It reported the officials “are at the executive assistant director level or special agent in charge level and include those who oversee cyber, national security and criminal investigations.”
At DiscernReport was the explanation that the “significant shakeup” includes a “clear intent by the Trump administration to reshape the leadership of these key law enforcement agencies.”
Officials overseeing the transition to the new administration of President Donald Trump have been positive about their plans to address those who were promoted by ex-FBI chief Christopher Wray.
Already, the lawyers in the Department of Justice who worked on special counsel Jack Smith’s lawfare cases against Trump and been relieved of their duties, and FBI agents who worked on those cases now also are concerned and “are on edge.”
Those cases included federal charges against Trump because of his opinions about the 2020 election process and his possession of presidential papers after he left office.
Smith and his team assembled a long list of felonies to sling against Trump, when in fact the same DOJ found Joe Biden had held government papers to which he was not entitled after his vice presidency, but gave him a pass on the offenses.
The changes already had begun before the latest development, the report said.
It said with the departure of the FBI’s top chiefs, “Tom Ferguson, a former agent and aide to Rep. Jim Jordan, known for his critical stance against the FBI, has recently joined the FBI headquarters as a policy adviser, further illustrating the administration’s direction.”
Fox News said the notice apparently was given “to senior employees promoted under … Wray.”
