Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey resigns to take a top FBI position
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, a Republican who has been an ardent backer of President Donald Trump, said Monday that he is resigning to take a leadership position at the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The move is the latest in a series of changes at the FBI under Director Kash Patel. Numerous senior officials, including top agents in charge of big-city field offices, have been pushed out of their jobs, and Justice Department officials have sought the names of agents who participated in investigations related to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Bailey said he is stepping down effective Sept. 8 to serve as the FBI's co-deputy director, alongside Dan Bongino. Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe is to announce a new appointee as attorney general on Tuesday

Sounds to me like they need a minder for Bongino, along with somebody who has, you know, a law degree and at least halfway knows what they're doing. Not that Bailey is anything great, just another in the line of Missouri AG's who are absolute assholes, you know, Ashcroft, Hawley, Schmitt.
