Report: FBI Ousts Three Officials, Including Agent Involved in J6 Investigations
A person told Fox News the ouster is “retribution.”
Fox News reported that the FBI ousted at least three officials.
The move includes former FBI acting director Brian Driscoll and special agent Walter Giardina:
Former FBI acting director, Brian Driscoll, is among those being forced out of the bureau, sources familiar with the matter told Fox News, along with Walter Giardina, a special agent at the bureau who played a role in the investigation of Trump trade advisor, Peter Navarro, and Steven Jensen, the acting director in charge of the Washington Field Office.
Driscoll, for his part, served as acting director of the FBI prior to the confirmation of FBI Director Kash Patel, and Jensen played a key role in the January 6 investigations.
All three must leave by Friday. No one gave them a “specific reason” for the firings.

FBI Director Kash Patel has removed others during his tenure. I found a New York Times article about the “fear” within the FBI due to the actions. This part made me laugh:
When new leaders take office, they inevitably want to put their own stamp on an agency. But some departures amount to a significant loss in expertise, including the abrupt retirement of an official running an office established in 2020 to uncover and reduce the risk of misuse of national security surveillance, arguably one of the bureau’s most important intelligence gathering tools. Others, including a recent round of forced retirements and transfers, veer from traditional processes, former officials said.
Guys, it’s normal for a new administration to hire new people, except when Trump and his appointees do it.
Give me a break.
It’s like the uproar over firing U.S. Attorneys. It’s normal and happens every new administration.

Nein.
When playing by the rules (which R’s are held to) it takes a bit of time to properly fire government employees. Especially those in a law enforcement capacity. Ducks in a row and out you go.
Driscoll has been obfuscating on requested info from the day Trump was elected. And like Wray, has never had a straight answer.
We are finally some action on getting rid if the subversives at the FBI. Izvestia on the Hudson and Pravda on the Potomac may be losing reliable leakers.
Boo Hoo Hoo
Cancelling their security access? I hope?
FBI is playing CYA.
There should be much more retribution….it should involve a tree and rope.
“A person told Fox News the ouster is “retribution.”
And so what if it is?
Every manager in the world has the right not to retain an enemy on the payroll.
I don’t care if it’s retribution, they abused their office and power to go after Trump for no good reason.
