FBI Deputy Director Andrew Bailey resigned after one year on the job, according to The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and MSNOW.
Andrew Bailey had been overseeing election matters.
Last August, then-Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel tapped then-Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey to serve as Co-Deputy Director of the FBI.
It is unclear why Bailey resigned.
Later Monday morning, Andrew Bailey thanked President Trump, AG Blanche and Kash Patel for the opportunity to serve in the FBI.
"I want to thank President Trump, AG Todd Blanche, and FBI Director Kash Patel for the opportunity to serve in the FBI. Under President Trump’s leadership, we have delivered historic results in our mission to Make America Safe Again," Bailey said.
"With great pride in what we have accomplished, I am announcing that I am stepping down to return to my family in Missouri. I am confident Director Patel will continue to reform the FBI, combat violent crime, defend the homeland, ensure strong organizational accountability, and restore public trust in this institution of excellence," Bailey added.

“ A recent analysis by its Roll Call of votes for which Trump had publicly taken a position found that Senate Republicans voted with him 96% of the time and House Republicans 95% of the time.”
Well, since Republicans have majorities in both chambers (for now) things must be going great.
Thanks for the update.
I question whether you even identify with the Western Tradition or Christianity. You know, the things which brought us the Declaration of Independence, The Constitution and the Bill of Rights. All produced by White Christian men -who are under attack globally.
They hate us cuz they ain’t us. It’s how the rest of the world operates. But you are ignorant and don’t see it.
The rest of the world operates by bigotry, envy and avarice. Now they’re here in America, agitating from the inside against that which they hate. Why you helping them Tucker? Ya ignant?
So, a feeling.
“I think the Trump administration will be effectively over in terms of active policies on November 4 and you will see people trying to signal the winning team that they won’t make trouble more and more as October rolls on“
Kindly, I suggest finding evidence that democrats are the winning team.
Yes, notwithstanding your effort to make the word a critical political issue that can be commonly identified, it remains otherwise. Think of its usage by any politician as no more descriptive than the word, "better".
Perhaps more helpful to underscore the vagueness of the word in this setting, the Congressional Research Service has recently pointed out there is no official government statistic called “affordability,”
You think so?
“ Kindly, I suggest finding evidence that democrats are the winning team”
Well know soon.
We’ll know soon. Yep. That might be all it takes.
Yep. The timing is very suspicious.
You’re caught up in semantics and said nothing to refute my point that “cost of living”, “inflation”, “price increases relative to income”, “ability for middle and working class people to make ends meet” or whatever verbiage to describe the concept was a hugely important issue for Candidate Trump and was a large part of why he won the swing states and popular vote.
The Trump 2024 coalition is a mess now because so many voters see their concerns cast aside for other priorities, and there aren’t enough Fox News-watching boomers and neocons/Israel Firsters who love their Middle East wars to make up for it.
They aren’t going to vote for the Bolsheviks, they just won’t vote at all, because, why bother? Can’t make ends meet, more war, swamp not drained, they’re all bums...
But that will by default allow the Communists to take control and it’s going to be a disaster.
Director Patel found something?.
It's the Dems who want to destroy the affordability of fuel and oil. I don't believe the voters are as myopic and/or as retarded as you imply that they are, and that they will allow the Dems to return and complete their plan to utterly destroy our energy production.
Same goes for Iran where the Mullahs were building up a fortress of missles, rockets and drones around their 60% eniched "weeks away" Uranium, waiting for the right "few weeks" to do the final weapons grade upgrade.
Whether the voters are or aren't as short sighted as you imply, now is NOT the time to give up, bend over and assume the position.
Good luck with that.
“You think the Trump White House has been losing?”
Trump is losing because he is not on the ballot.
Track record shows that pro-Trump MAGA voters are not motivated by Trump to turnout and vote.
The more local the candidate and contact the higher the turnout of our voters. A good ground game is by far the most needed thing to win.
The focus on Trump weakens and detracts from the winning approach.
Concurring bump...the House Dems are gonna impeach Trump if they ever get the chance and there's a non-zero chance they'll get a conviction in the Senate. Trump will be hand-cuffed figuratively (or literally) for the rest of his term.
The hits just keep on coming for the Trump administration. Waiting for the midterm results. When the results are in, I probably haven’t seen this much blood since Nam.
IRGC talking points bump.
“ Track record shows…”
There’s a track record. Where is this? Who puts it together?
Yeah. Maybe at midnight, after voting closes and the results are in, Trump will bomb them again. Like it is going to do any good. This bunch is fanatical, lunatics, from the Islamic radical branch of Izzzlam. It is ingrained in their brains.
Well said, that succinctly captures the weakness of your argument; i.e., a word that has many different meanings for many different people quicky becomes unworkably vague.
