Report: Multiple Top FBI Officials Ordered to Hit the Bricks

The Trump administration has apparently notified at least six top officials at the FBI that they must resign immediately or they will be fired.

Senior agents were sent an email informing them they would be dismissed “from the rolls of the F.B.I.” as soon as Monday morning, the New York Times reported.

Spencer Evans, the Special Agent in Charge of the Las Vegas FBI field office, is reportedly one of the officials who was forced to retire.

“I was given no rationale for this decision, which, as you might imagine, has come as a shock,” said Evans in a letter to his underlings.

“All, I was informed by FBIHQ today that executive leadership at the Department of Justice plans to dismiss me from the rolls of the FBI, along with several other FBI executives, as soon as Monday morning. I was given no rationale for this decision, which, as you might imagine, has come as a shock. Not knowing what tomorrow or the weekend will bring, I wanted to make sure you heard from me directly, as I imagine word will start to spread quickly, and I might not have another opportunity to communicate with you again.

Regardless of what happens to me, I want you to know I have every confidence in the men and women of the FBI, and that goes double for the Las Vegas Division. It has been the honor of my career to serve with and among you. I am inspired by the outstanding work you have done and will continue to do on behalf of the American People.

FBI whistleblower Kyle Seraphin reported on X that in 2021, Evans denied all religious accommodations for agents who resisted taking the experimental COVID injections.

Some of the fired executives were apparently notified while Kash Patel, Trump’s pick to be the next FBI director, was answering questions during his confirmation hearing in the Senate Thursday.

During the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Patel said he was unaware of any plans by the Trump administration to punish FBI personnel.

“Are you aware of any plans or discussions to punish in any way, including termination, FBI agents or personnel associated with Trump investigations?” asked Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.).

“I am not aware of that, senator,” Patel replied.

The top FBI officials asked to leave were at the executive assistant director level or special agent in charge level, including “those who oversee cyber, national security and criminal investigations, according to CNN.

The FBI Agents Association officials met with FBI director nominee Kash Patel in recent weeks to raise those concerns, urging him to protect agents who did their work investigating violent crimes with oversight from judges, FBI supervisors and Justice Department lawyers, according to people briefed on the meeting. Patel listened but offered no reassurances, the people briefed on the meeting said.

The Trump administration has allegedly been focused on pushing out leaders who were promoted by disgraced former FBI Director Christopher Wray.

Wray announced his early retirement from the Bureau on January 12, after Trump promised to fire him, and then-Acting Director Paul Abbate retired on Inauguration Day.

Trump named Brian Driscoll to serve as acting director in one of his first moves after he was sworn in.  Driscoll “most recently served as the commander of the FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team (HRT) and Critical Incident Response Group’s (CIRG) Tactical Section chief,” according to a press release.

Additionally, Tom Ferguson, a former agent and aide to Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), arrived at the FBI headquarters to work as a policy adviser shortly after Trump took office.

The purge comes after the FBI raided hundreds of Trump supporters who trespassed at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, and Mar-a-Lago over Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents.

According to CNN, the hundreds of FBI agents assigned to those cases are now “bracing for the possibility that they could be forced out or punished, similar to what has happened to dozens of career Justice Department lawyers.”

Some agents say the criticism belies the fact that FBI agents and supervisors can’t choose which assignments they are given as part of their job. The FBI workforce is broadly conservative, and many agents initially had qualms about being assigned to the Capitol attack and Trump cases, viewing the prosecutions as heavy-handed, people familiar with the matter say. Some Justice Department lawyers leading January 6 cases complained that they believed agents sometimes slow-walked some of their work.

Seraphin posted on X that he’s hearing from multiple agents inside the FBI that the Acting Deputy Attorney General is ordering the names of “all case participants AND all case managers of January 6 prosecutions.”

The acting deputy AG is Emil Bove, Trump’s former personal criminal attorney.

Seraphin explained that in “plain terms,” Bove is seeking the names of “those who did analytical support, the supervisors, and the case agents” of the J6 prosecutions.

Only a few agents, including Seraphin and former special agents like Steve Friend, Marcus Allen and Garret O’Boyle had the integrity to call out their superiors and refuse to carry out unreasonable and unjust orders.  All of the whistleblowers paid dearly for making their “protected disclosures,” and were suspended without pay for months before losing their jobs and security clearances.

In December of 2022, Friend told American Greatness there were hundreds of other potential whistleblowers working in the FBI, but they needed to feel that it was safe to come forward.

In a letter to Evans a year earlier, Seraphin expressed shock and disappointment that his attempt to get a religious exemption to the COVID jab was denied, presciently noting that the Bureau had “decided to be on the wrong side of future court decisions.”

“This whole experience has been a shocking and eye-opening way to see how quickly the men and women in management abandoned the principles of our core values for political expediency and the safety of a paycheck and pension,” the whistleblower wrote.  “I pity those of you who expect to hide behind emails masquerading as ‘policy.'”

Seraphin said the FBI leadership forcing the unjust policy on their agents should feel deeply ashamed, especially since all agents are required to visit the Holocaust Museum as a reminder that  tyranny is only achieved with the compliance of “good Germans” just following orders.

“This evil path you are on should keep you all awake at night,” Seraphin concluded.

 

UPDATE:

Seraphin is now reporting on X that the agents behind the Trump documents investigation and Mar-a-Lago raid have been frog marched out of the Washington Field Office.

“Two different reports stating that the squad which conducted the Mar-a-Lago documents investigation and MAL raid in Florida have been walked out of @FBIWFO,” the former agent posted.
“That’s my old office,” he added. “The case should never have been opened, and they brought disgrace on the whole agency. Yikes.”

According to a source, 88 FBI agents who worked on the Trump cases were physically escorted out of the Washington Field office.

UPDATE:

Trump’s acting deputy AG has fired a number of federal prosecutors who were hired as “term employees” to handle J6 cases at the DC U.S. Attorney’s office.

  1. …“The FBI workforce is broadly conservative, and many agents initially had qualms about being assigned to the Capitol attack and Trump cases, viewing the prosecutions as heavy-handed, people familiar with the matter say.”

    Flashback to WWII and the BS that German Concentration Camp Guards at Nuremberg War Trials similarly would have been spouting - mounting as their defense - for their lack of character, humanity and morality:

    …"We were good soldiers" and were broadly conservative, and many - well, at least 10 or so of us - initially had qualms about being assigned to oversee the concentration camps, the ovens and poisoning vaults.

    Viewing the persecution and extermination of all Jews as possibly, maybe, perhaps - even slightly, credibly arguably - as not a good thing - but what were we to do?

    Stand up like men; act with integrity, be true to the oaths we took to fight for what was right?

    Certainly! You jest - not with our salaries and retirement guaranteed if we went along to get along with Hitler (or the ersatz, brain-dead, Buffon version of him sitting in the White House - Biden and company)*

    Fire them all - not a single one deserves to wield even the slightest degree of power over anyone - if they had cared about the country and serving its people and making the FBI proud?

    They had only one choice that they could make consistent with that paradigm.

    Become whistle-blowers and quit; refuse to take the orders and be fired like the very, very, very - did I say very few - who actually showed that they actually had b_…alls.

    Strip them of their retirements; give them no benefits but do give them whatever punishments that are relevant to such as they deserve for betraying their oaths.

  2. Good. These people take an oath, very similar to the one that I swore when I put on this country’s uniform. There is no acceptable excuse for participating in actions that they knew were sketchy at best, morally questionable and probably illegal. You either stand up for your principles, regardless of the consequences, or you have none. This I-was-only-following-orders crap didn’t work so well at Nuremberg; I don’t see a reason it should carry weight now.

  3. AND one more oldie but goodie that I wrote about four years ago when times were not as happy as they are now that I felt - still do - characterized the “character” or rather total lack thereof evidenced by our corrupted to its core FBI. I have been waiting - actually have - for the apropos FBI article here on AG+ to post it one last - likely - time.

    Let us hope that Kash Patel can put a stake in the heart of the villainy that made what follows - though - obviously a parody - an incontrovertible reality back then and even of late - despicably true.

    We are the FBI, and we are seeking new clients.

    ARE YOU BY CHANCE LOOKING FOR someone to put in a fix for a felony you obviously are guilty as sin, guilty as Hillary of - related to National Security; or fallen prey - through no fault of your own - to a perverted sexual peccadillo?

    That, those who are less than liberal, certainly not enlightened - just can’t understand or, in a bit of a spot; a wee bit of troublesome trouble - pickle? Because you tried to orchestrate the overthrow of the United States government and steal an election? And, consequent want to make perfectly clear - “It wasn’t me.”

    Then, you have come to the right place and people We are the FBI – Federal Bureau of Intimidation.

    Or, ARE YOU PERCHANCE LOOKING FOR someone who is better than best at leaking classified information about, unmasking, destroying the reputation, life of someone you hate, want to see ruined, framed and/or sent to jail so they are out of your way? Someone, who should have known better than to mess with you?

    Then, we’re your guys and gals; we’re the organization that long ago sold its soul to the devil; the organization that stays bought and is utterly bereft of even the slightest, infinitesimal, remaining semblance of respect for the rule of law nor, let us hasten to add, possessed of any real desire to enforce it

    except to the extent that we can twist it, pervert it, weaponize it - with implied deniability built in “the old-fashioned way” by obstruction of justice methods we have honed to perfection - just for you - our valued criminally inclined and politically grasping clients.

    For a glowing reference as to efficiency and efficacy of our methods and indefatigable loyalty to chicanery, conniving and duplicity writ large? We suggest you just give a call to our favorite repeat, long term customer

    call Hillary at 1-800-What’s-In-It-4-Me.

    Rest assured, have no doubts, we are the answer to all your nefarious, underhanded, blacker than black-hearted, Obama-like wet dreams.

    We are THE FBI the one-stop shopping solution for subterfuge and corruption par excellence; an organization based on underhanded, dirty tricks that is without peer - renowned throughout the world and. probably, arguably the best that’s been or ever will be.

    Nobody but nobody does a frame up or fix better than we do a frame up or fix.

  4. Nearly 20 years of hiring, plus typical attrition, have salted the FBI with woke, progressive yes-men and women. These are soldiers in the hard-left progressive movement.

    Any defense that the “rank file” are “conservative” and dedicated law and order types is horse radish.

    The only thing Kash will be able to do is rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic. True reform means abolishing the agency, perhaps keeping the forensics and technical labs, and eliminating the rest.
