This report compiles information on the specified individuals' departures from the FBI, drawing from web searches, official reports (e.g., Durham Report, IG Horowitz Report, Devin Nunes Memo), congressional oversight (e.g., Grassley reports), and declassified documents (e.g., those released by Tulsi Gabbard as DNI in 2025). It includes all names provided in the query, even if limited data was found, with "?" indicating missing or unconfirmed information. Additional names of FBI personnel who left or were removed from 2013 to present are included based on sources, such as the 2025 purges under Director Kash Patel, whistleblower cases, and units like the Washington Field Office Public Corruption squad (CR-15, dismantled in October 2025 with multiple firings). Trends: Peak departures occurred in 2017-2018 (linked to Russia investigation controversies, e.g., Crossfire Hurricane) and a significant spike in 2025 (post-Trump inauguration purges targeting perceived disloyalty or involvement in Trump-related probes, with at least 50-60 firings, including six at EAD/SAC levels). Earlier years (2013-2016) saw routine retirements or convictions (e.g., Silk Road cases). 2025 saw mass ousters related to J6 investigations and public corruption units, often described as "house cleaning" but criticized as politicization.

REPLACE GROK's TABLE 2.
This report compiles available information on departures from the FBI of individuals listed in the query, as well as additional senior leaders (EAD/SAC level) fired between 2013 and 2025. Data is drawn from public sources, IG reports, congressional records, and declassified documents (e.g., Nunes Memo, Durham Annex). Key trends include a spike in 2018 (Russia probe fallout) and 2025 (Trump administration purge). Approximately 6 EAD/SAC-level firings in 2025 alone target those involved in Jan. 6 investigations. Broader removals: Dozens in Jan. 6 unit (names often anonymous); several in Washington Field Office Public Corruption unit (e.g., reassigned post-2025 reorganization). Observations: Departures cluster around politically sensitive cases (Russia, Jan. 6); many voluntary retirements amid investigations; convictions rare but notable (e.g., Clinesmith, McGonigal). Total senior departures: ~20 confirmed; hundreds potentially in anonymous groups.
Rows sorted chronologically by departure date. Includes all listed names and confirmed additional seniors. Famous cases noted.
