FBI Agents Involved In Trump Cases 'Escorted Out' of Offices in Friday Night Purge
Source: Mediaite.com
FBI agents who investigated President Donald Trump and who were fired by the bureau on Friday were escorted out of the Washington field office, according to reports. A so-called purge of rank-and-file agents and the heads of 20 field offices was announced earlier in the day. Among those who were axed was David Sundberg, who former FBI Director Christopher Wray appointed to head the D.C. field office in 2022.
Also on the chopping block were agents reportedly involved in investigating Trumps classified documents case as well as his Jan. 6 election interference case. The Hill reported Friday evening that the agents in Washington were escorted out of the building:
The Trump administration forced out a number of FBI officials Friday, removing agents who worked on the criminal cases into President Trump as well as the heads of various field offices. A source familiar said agents who had worked on the Mar-a-Lago and Jan. 6 investigations were escorted out of the Washington Field Office. The same source said officials in charge of the Washington, D.C., Miami, Seattle, New Orleans and Las Vegas field offices were removed.
Acting Attorney General James McHenry told the agents their role in investigating Trump was the reason for their dismissals. Given your significant role in prosecuting the President, I do not believe that the leadership of the Department can trust you to assist in implementing the Presidents agenda faithfully, McHenry wrote in an email obtained by CNN. Trump denied Friday afternoon during an Oval Office press conference that he ordered the firings.

White House. Reality Winner got 5 years for 1 document that told of Russian involvement
in our elections and the GOP.

. doing 15 life terms for doing what Trump did with our nations top secrets. Trump also gave
up the names and locations of all of intelligence people and their contacts. And now he, Musk,
the GRU, and the right wing are taking over our democracy and replacing it with a fascist dictatorship.

(18,653 posts)No doubt all the FBI's investigation files are being deleted as well. I hope one of these fired FBI agents has copies hidden somewhere.

On the "Night of the Long Knives", Der Fuhrer ordered the army to arrest SA leaders (Brownshirts) who he considered a threat to his power, particularly Ernst Röhm. Here, German soldiers cross the street to SA HQ. (Photo: 30 Jun 1934)

Stalin did the same thing with his internal enemies.

One of Stalin's show trials of false accusations leading to death or the gulag.

How did we let this happen to us-- who was the incumbent party in charge-- in 2024?
In 2024, Trumpf won 49.8% of the popular vote (barely a plurality). But we, the incumbent party, had won 51.3% of the popular vote with 81,283,501 ballots in 2020. Dismally, Harris/Walz won 75,017,613 votes, 6,265,888 less votes than from 2020.
Some Democrats on DU scapegoat Arab-Americans who make up only 1.1% of the US population (1,698,570 citizens and not all of them are of voting age). Trumpf won 21% of their vote, Harris 20%, and Stein 59%. Even is if this Islamophobic slander were true, we still cannot account for 4,567,318 people whose support we lost between 2020 and 2024.
Now we are all of us in the gutter...
