An FBI agent was relieved of duty for declining to arrange a "perp walk" of the bureau's former director, James Comey, in front of news media cameras after Comey was federally charged last month, four people briefed on the matter said on Friday.

Comey was charged on September 25 with making false statements and obstructing a congressional investigation, in a dramatic escalation of President Donald Trump's retribution campaign against his political enemies.

An FBI spokeswoman declined to comment on personnel matters.

Reuters could not immediately determine how or when senior FBI officials wanted to stage bringing Comey into the bureau's Washington field office. Only a summons to appear in court was issued in the case, and not an arrest warrant. However, defendants will often report to an FBI field office for booking after a court summons is issued.

Awwww, the Sadist-in-Chief in the White House must've thrown a multi-bottle ketchup tantrum. But he can just have another trashy AI-slop video created to post on Truth Social, maybe ripping off another classic rock artist who despises him.

2. I hope the FBI agent sues for unjustifed firing under civil service rules.

Comey had already agreed to turn himself in, there was no need for arrest and perp walk. Trump got the same courtesy. Hell, they didn't even weigh Trump, they took his word for what his height and weight was.
