The longtime head of public affairs at the FBI -- who was a confidant of former director James Comey -- is planning to retire, Fox News has learned.
A notice went out this week for a retirement get-together for Michael Kortan scheduled for Feb. 15. Since 2009, Kortan has served as assistant director for public affairs, an influential job that controlled media access. He also served under former director Robert Mueller, now leading the Russia probe.
The FBI confirmed to Fox News that Kortan is retiring.
It's unclear whether the retirement was long-planned or in any way precipitated by recent events. The FBI said he was finishing 33 years of service.
After Comey became director in September 2013, Kortan helped facilitate regular on-the-record briefings with beat reporters, a departure from previous directors.

Too bad so sad
Drain that swamp
Q anon said a couple days ago to follow thr resignations (I would assume that includes sudden retirements). Thats the second big one Ive heard today. Curious.
Two in a day. I notice the guy in charge of intelligence is still there. Counter is gone.
There is no such thing in government as a coincidence.
Thanks to Nunes.
They would be getting promoted not resigning if not for Nunes
and the GOP Intel committee members.
Sessions hasn’t done squat.
Nada. Zip.
Bump!
Yes! More! More must go!
Per sundance at CT...

Support Free Republic, Folks!
The very election of Trump himself has and will drain many parts of the swamp automatically. Those trying to cover for Hillary and those trying to frame Trump before our very eyes. A lot of these and others like Uranium One scandal would have never seen the light of day under a Hillary presidency
Yep...Looks like he’s trying to salvage retirement but he may have more problems than that.
G.T.F.O.
Another Comey crony gettin out while the gettin is still good.
A lot of ‘RATs seem to be trying to escape the swamp before the indictments begin.
FBI Agents Fleeced by FBI-Sanctioned Scam Artists
Now I'm wondering about this.
They’e dropping like fleas!
Anyone who worked on Comey’s staff is suspect and tainted with the odor of corruption. Actually, if Wray had tackled his job as Director properly, he would have cleaned out the entire professional headquarters corps, no questions asked, just “turn in your resignations or be terminated.”
I would also suspect that few, if any, of the FBI agents in the many field offices around the nation knew what all was going on in Washington.
