Two FBI officials who worked closely with embattled former bureau director James Comey have left the agency, Fox News has confirmed.
Jim Baker, a top FBI lawyer who was reassigned in late 2017 after being linked to a journalist who wrote about the so-called "Trump dossier," is reportedly looking to join the Brookings Institution, a Washington think tank.
Lisa Page, whose electronic communications with another FBI employee drew accusations of political bias, "resigned" Friday to "pursue other opportunities," an FBI spokesperson told Fox News.
'Fox News Sunday' anchor reacts to criticism of the FBI and DOJ and the fallout over the Giuliani revelations.
Comey acknowledged Bakers departure in a tweet, commending his former colleagues integrity and commitment to the rule of law.
Baker had been the subject of a Justice Department investigation on suspicion of leaking classified information about the so-called Trump dossier a document that supposedly contained evidence about the Trump campaign's connection to Russia.
He had been reassigned in December as an adviser to current FBI Director Christopher Wray.
Documents reviewed by Fox News shed new light on Daniel Richman's role as an FBI special government employee; chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge reports from Washington.
I love the FBI, Baker told the New York Times. I have tremendous respect for the bureau. The FBI was great, is great and will be great.
Page, who was previously a member of Robert Muellers special counsel team, came under fire for allegedly sending anti-Trump text messages to a colleague.

This story is getting difficult to follow.
My guess is when the Horowitz / Big Ugly report comes out many of these clowns will get a referral to charges.
They should have been fired.
I seriously would be unsurprised to find out Sessions has ties to Hillary, or at least the Clinton Foundation.
(He's a swamp-creature; the vote on the Iran Deal proves just how deep the rot goes.)
They were fired. The message is saying it was reported they resigned, but that was false reporting.
I think...

Thanks blam.
The most politicized FBI regime in the history of the FBI. When it comes to doing their job, like the school shooting in Lakeland, Florida, or the gay night club massacre of Omar Mateen, they completely dropped the ball. (Interviewed Mateen, but dropped the case when he said he was being racially profiled. The FBI had been warned repeatedly about the Florida school shooter and did nothing. Could have been easily prevented.) But when it comes to wiretapping Trump’s campaign and spreading lies in the press to change the outcome of a legitimate election - then they have proven themselves to be equals to Stalin’s secret police. Comey is a disgrace, and anyone can go back and review his whitewashing of all the Clinton sins prior to the horrendous security breach in her email scandal. He cleared the grotesque Marc Rich pardon, among other brutally fraudulent Clinton moves. Comey is the most stupid cop, or the most corrupt. What is never mentioned, when he was General Counsel of Lockheed, he had the company put millions into the Clinton Fund - is it then any wonder that he found nothing criminal about Hillary selling the office for Fund donations when he was head of the FBI? Any recusal for Comey? Did he mention when he went to work for HSBC, that they then became a donor to the Clinton Fund?
Mueller is no bargain, and his knowledge of sending 4 innocent Boston men to jail, with death sentences, and doing nothing about it, tells you all you need to know of what kind of man he is. That is not heroic, but he would have been a hero had he stood up and said - ‘free those men’. Two died in prison, and now Mueller peacocks around with his band of Trump despising lawyers, trying to turn witnesses against Trump. There is no crime. They are bankrupting innocent people on orders from the DNC, to overturn a legitimate election. They are destroying any Republican who works for Trump as a threat in the future. Mueller is doing ham handed goon work for the DNC. The Manafort case, raiding the house at 6 AM, for what? Something that happened in 2005. Using the justice system to overturn national elections is a grotesque fraud. It has to stop.

I just happened to tune into C-Span this morning and there's a panel discussion hosted by Brookings Institute.
Trump Presidency and American Democracy.
A bunch of Harvard professors and Brookings leftist discussing how dangerous Trump is to our Democracy and Government. They discuss Trump, superficially, as if everybody knows he's a dangerous person to be President and attempt to convey a deep and dark time ahead purely based on their flawed assumptions.
It's an extraordinary glimpse into the minds of the Lefts Academic elites and where they stand. A circle jerk of Statist.
While there are very few Americans that care what these Tools have to say, these are the people that our Media, our Bureaucrats and Democrat politicians go to for insight to craft policy and narratives that drive their agenda.
It isn't so much that liberals are ignorant. It's just that they know so many things that aren't so.

Normally I would agree with you. But methinks something more is going on here. I understand these characters at FBI/DOJ were fired and not granted immunity. Supposedly upwards of 20K sealed indictments outstanding. Seems like (and I certainly hope) the noose is tightening.

Beside they all have “the goods” on each other and if one goes they all go.
I want to know if Lisa Page spanked Peter Strzok - did he watch her pee? Any anal sex?
What about Tom Brokaw? Let's expose some 'practices' of liberal elites...
Come on you creepy 'intelligence types' let's 'leak' the good stuff to your shills in the press. John Brennan? You there? How about you Clapper? What's good for the goose is good for the gander, right?

I believe he is the spokesperson for the Keebler Bakery and works within the trunk of a tree.
Yeah, what a unique threat is posed by President Trump, having been elected outright, and without legal challenge, so the leftist subhuman scum call for the overturning of the established process and rule of law. I was glad he reminded everyone of those two faithless electors at the NRA really the other day. Thanks Zeneta.
