Another top FBI official who helped oversee the Trump-Russia and Clinton email investigations is retiring, as the last traces of the bureau's embattled leadership team that once stood under Barack Obama's presidency disappear.

The official, Bill Priestap, will retire from his post as assistant director of the FBI’s counterintelligence division by the end of the year.

“Assistant Director Bill Priestap became eligible to retire and has chosen to do so after 20 years of service,” an FBI spokesperson told Fox News on Wednesday.

Priestap, who participated in the bureau’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server and the FBI’s initial probe into Russian meddling and potential collusion with Trump campaign associates during the 2016 presidential election, has testified before Congress on multiple occasions regarding the bureau’s handling of both investigations

Resignation will not void prosecution.

Think about it, before Comey ran the agency, it was Mueller.

They hired people just like themselves.

The FBI needs to be disbanded.

It’s the only way to be sure.

I’m all for it but the more I dig in the less I believe any house cleaning is possible. Fro Supreme Court mandated Prosecutorial blanket immunity to DOJ / FBI creatures from Republicans can administration being just as guilty and just as prone to coverup.

Our government agencies are full of scum.

These lawless goons don’t prosecute one another. None of them are going to jail. McCabe, Comey, Strozk, Paige, Rosentein, Brennan or the Clap. The deep state has no laws they have to obey one held accountable for.

I’d love to see Trump offer him a job and he accepts. The DS would go nuts wondering what he’s telling Trump.

Keep praying everyone. . . .God is on His Throne. . .He knows all and is in total control of everything. . . and we should take His Lead. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, learn not on your own understanding. In all they ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your way! Not to seek His guidance is foolish!!!! And not to give Him the Glory is even more foolish!!

It’s being drained, but the ground spring is still up and running. These enemies are groomed in the government senior executive service organization. They are groomed to make sure small and large decisions below cabinet secretaries are made to keep the deep state plugging forward. Trump needs to disband the service and embargo current members from any government job.

Bruce Ohr still works at the DoJ, as do any army of Comey/Rosenstein bureaucrats.

100’s need to go to the gallows, 1000’s in prison for life, every hillary voting apparatchik FIRED, and unions banned. That’s draining the swamp. Not a few ‘resignations’
