BREAKING: HUGE SCALP: Trump Fires Head of FBI Washington Field Office David Sundberg – Cans More Than 20 Heads of FBI Field Offices
Gateway Pundit ^ | January 31, 2025 | Staff

Posted on 01/31/2025 1:19:10 PM PST by Red Badger

President Trump fired the head of the FBI Washington Field Office, according to NBC News reporter Ken Dilanian.

David Sundberg is the highest ranking FBI official to be fired in Trump’s second term. Trump fired FBI Director James Comey during his first term.

Sundberg oversaw the January 6 investigation and the investigation into the so-called DNC pipe bomber.

According to NBC’s Ken Dilanian, the purge is much larger than originally reported and includes more than 20 heads of FBI Field Offices.

NBC News reported:

David Sundberg, the assistant director in charge of the FBI Washington Field Office, was notified Thursday that he was going to lose his job and is preparing to leave the bureau, according to two senior law enforcement sources — the latest step in an unprecedented purge of top executives at FBI headquarters as well as leadership in FBI field offices across the country.

Sundberg is the highest-ranking field agent so far to be fired from the FBI in Trump’s second term.

Sundberg, who joined the FBI in 2002, was put in charge of the Washington Field Office by then-FBI Director Christopher Wray in December 2022. It is one of the highest-profile positions an agent can achieve in the field at the FBI.

Special agents from the Washington Field Office were heavily involved in former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigations of now-President Donald Trump, as well as the sprawling investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol that resulted in criminal charges against hundreds.

One FBI Official Fired, New York Times Goes Bananas Proclaiming Legion Level Bloodbath

January 31, 2025 | Sundance 

Perhaps part of the reason the leftist media, specifically Washington Post, Politico, New York Times, Wall Street Journal (editorial pages) and CNN go bananas in their defense of the FBI silo, is because for the past decade they have collaborated so closely, even winning Pulitzer prizes together for their efforts on the Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy.

Seriously, it’s no longer a matter of journalists reporting on FBI activity.  In this era, we see FBI embeds in the role of journalists transcribing dictation directly from within the machinery of the silo itself.  The publications are vessels, messaging boards for FBI narrative engineer outputs.  Here’s the latest demonstration.

Adam Goldman and Devlin Barrett, two of the original stenographers for the Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy theory, are now pushing an article using ONE anonymous FBI source who claims to have been told to resign, as representative of thousands of FBI top officials around the country being terminated. [We could be so lucky]

[…] In an email to colleagues, one of the senior agents said he had learned he would be dismissed “from the rolls of the F.B.I.” as soon as Monday morning. “I was given no rationale for this decision, which, as you might imagine, has come as a shock,” he wrote.

Senior F.B.I. agents had been bracing for potentially swift changes under President Trump given Mr. Patel’s past promise to reshape the institution. He has vowed to empty out the F.B.I. headquarters building and turn it into a museum.

The move is remarkable in part because it is happening before a director has been confirmed to take charge of the bureau, and the quick and unexpected nature of the requests has left employees badly shaken.

F.B.I. directors have more latitude than most agency chiefs in whom they place into senior positions, but they typically do so gradually. Until senators vote on Mr. Patel’s nomination, Brian Driscoll is the bureau’s acting director. (more)

It is all just wonderfu. One has to go back to WWII to find such dedication to victory.

I don’t think FBI agents are issued AK rifles. Most likely ARs or MP5s.

The FBI Hydra has many heads, so this is a good start.

Yes. If Trump had not won this time. They would have imprisoned him and gone skipping dippity on their way. No one would have called them on any of it.

With lethal force authorized, because you know that’s just standard procedure

I love it. This clears the deck for Kash Patel to rebuild the FBI, while also making clear to Democratic senators that impeding his nomination gains them little.

“David Sundberg”

Thanks, I figured he might have been that type of person.
