Members of Christopher Wray’s FBI Leadership Posse Told to Retire, Resign, or Be Fired by Monday
The Liberty Daily ^ | January 31, 2025 | JD Rucker

Posted on 01/31/2025 5:28:47 AM PST by Red Badger

In a significant shake-up within the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), at least six senior leaders who were promoted under former Director Christopher Wray have been instructed to retire, resign, or face termination by Monday, according to sources familiar with the matter. This move continues a broader purge that started last week at the Justice Department, signaling a clear intent by the Trump administration to reshape the leadership of these key law enforcement agencies.

Transition officials from the Trump administration have been vocal about their plans to sideline leaders who were elevated by Wray, who was appointed by Trump himself but resigned early due to the President’s expressed intent to replace him.

This personnel overhaul comes at a time when many FBI agents, particularly those who worked on investigations related to the January 6 Capitol attack and Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents, are on edge about potential repercussions or career setbacks, mirroring the experiences of several career Justice Department attorneys.

In short, they’re scared and they should be with Kash Patel’s confirmation hearings for FBI Director going well.

On Inauguration Day, amidst heightened national security concerns, Paul Abbate, who was then serving as the acting director of the FBI following Wray’s resignation, also stepped down. His position was immediately filled by two senior agents from the FBI’s Newark and New York offices, appointed by the Trump transition team.

Tom Ferguson, a former agent and aide to Representative Jim Jordan, known for his critical stance against the FBI, has recently joined the FBI headquarters as a policy adviser, further illustrating the administration’s direction.

These changes reflect President Trump’s commitment to his campaign promise of dismantling the weaponization of the FBI. He promised to take down the Deep State and it starts with the Federal Bureau of Investigations.

The rapid reshuffling of leadership within the FBI underlines the new administration’s approach to ensuring the nation’s top law enforcement agency is going its job.

every single memo and email discussing J6 or Trump needs to be investigated for anyone who had a personal grudge against conservatives or Trump and when found all involved need to be fired.

Having any Biden holdovers in particular left in place anywhere is like operating on a cancer in a patient and leaving some behind hoping it won’t do any further harm.

Anything less than 100% will leave a door open to traitors.

This personnel overhaul comes at a time when...

Because Trump didn't purge these agencies last time and they undermined his every step. Not this time. The old saying, people make mistakes but "A wise man never makes the same mistake twice".

I do know Trump has hired a lot of homosexuals for his staff. In my experience gays hire gays when they get the opportunity to do so. Maybe 100% not realistic?
