The legendary FBI agent in charge of New York’s counterterrorism division, Carlos T. Fernandez, is retiring after 21 years.
Fernandez, 50, was posted in Yemen after the USS Cole bombing, in Afghanistan after 9/11 and in Libya after Benghazi. He is joining Viacom as their global head of security at their Times Square headquarters.
Insiders say the media giant has hired him to lead all of their security teams on a global basis, protect their offices and digital systems, and ensure the safety of Viacom staff and guests who attend their events.

Viacom... Don’t they own CBS?
Per Wiki:
Sumner Murray Redstone (born Sumner Murray Rothstein; May 27, 1923) is an American businessman and media magnate. He is the majority owner and chairman of the board of the National Amusements theater chain. Through National Amusements, Redstone and his family are majority owners of CBS Corporation and Viacom (itself the parent company of Viacom Media Networks, BET Networks, and the film studio Paramount Pictures). According to Forbes, as of September 2015, he was worth US$5 billion.[1]
Redstone was formerly the executive chairman of both CBS and Viacom. In February 2016, at age 92, Redstone resigned both chairmanships following a court-ordered examination by a geriatric psychiatrist. He was ultimately succeeded by Leslie Moonves at CBS and Philippe Dauman at Viacom. He currently serves as chairman emeritus.
Too bad it wasn’t another FBI Agent, McCabe who decided to retire.
Fernandez most recently served as the Deputy Director for Law Enforcement in the Counterterrorism Center at the CIA

My late father in law knew some FBI agents and leo’s in government and even back in the 1990’s he had little use for the FBI as a law enforcement agency. He considered the Border Patrol the most professional of the bunch. In the last ten years I have to conclude he was correct.
