The FBI’s Washington Field Office is folding its federal public corruption squad, the same unit that aided Jack Smith’s special counsel investigation into President Donald Trump, three people familiar with the matter tell NBC News.
The field office has three units that work on public corruption issues, but this one — known internally as “CR15” — was deeply involved in the bureau’s “Arctic Frost” investigation, which was the precursor to the Smith probe into efforts to overturn the 2020 election results by Trump and his allies. That investigation resulted in one of the two federal criminal cases against Trump, both of which were dropped after his election.
FBI special agents assigned to the squad will be reassigned. A FBI official said the change was part of a broader reorganization at the Washington Field Office and that there would be additional changes to come — and that public corruption cases would still be pursued.
The move to shutter the unit comes amid a major shift of FBI resources towards immigration enforcement, an area that is primarily the responsibility of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which is part of the Department of Homeland Security. A top leader in the FBI’s Washington Field Office was also recently reassigned, two people familiar with the matter said.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
“NO adversarial reason?”
well with and FBI that doesnt incarcerate for any real crimes, ya dont need a lot of departments...
When are FBI going to be prosecuted for treason?
The real problem is the courts. Judges went along with this crap. What are we doing to reform the courts?
The court system is not going to reform itself, that’s for sure. Who’s going to do it?
Per the U. S. Constitution, it's the duty of Congress. See Article 1, Section 8.
To constitute Tribunals inferior to the supreme Court;
Play that song Urban Cowboy for all the fib ers on that team and give them a boot and the exit door.

Yep. The first two years of Trump’s first presidency was a golden time. The GOP had both Houses of Congress, plus the White House. Yet nothing transformational was done - and that’s 100% on the GOP weaklings in Congress.
Well, by golly we got very lucky. It’s a golden time again. Will this one be different than the last one? Sadly, probably not.
And the problem is that any reform could be used against conservative judges by a future Democrat President. We have to tread very carefully.
Have they announced the promotions yet?
Well, Paul Ryan isn’t in Congress anymore, so there’s that...
And when are they going to ‘clawback’ Strozak and Pages huge FBI payout for treason and sedition.
We need to start seeing perpwalks and right now. Here’s a suggestion, how about they start with that ridiculous weak and despised cretin James Comey.
“FBI special agents assigned to the squad will be reassigned.”
That’s helpful. 🙄😡
Those were no “weaklings” but leftists who were angry at being exposed.
