WASHINGTON -- WASHINGTON (AP) — A senior FBI official who served as acting director in the first weeks of the Trump administration and resisted demands to turn over the names of agents who participated in the Jan. 6, 2021, investigations is being forced out of the bureau, two people familiar with the matter said Thursday.
The circumstances of Brian Driscoll’s ouster were not immediately clear, but his final day is Friday, said the people, who were not authorized to discuss the personnel move by name and spoke on the condition of anonymity. Additional ousters were possible.
Spokespeople for the FBI declined to comment.
The news comes amid a much broader personnel purge that has unfolded over the last several months under the leadership of current director FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino. Numerous senior officials including top agents in charge of big-city field offices have been pushed out of their jobs and some agents have been subjected to polygraph exams, moves that former officials say have roiled the workforce and contributed to angst.
Driscoll, a veteran agent who worked international counterterrorism investigations in New York and had also commanded the bureau’s Hostage Rescue Team, had most recently served as acting director in charge of the Critical Incident Response Group, which deploys manpower and resources to crisis situations.
Driscoll was named acting director in January to replace Christopher Wray and served in the position as Patel’s nomination was pending.

Are we supposed to feel bad for the guy?
I guess. He had to be removed. Assume they are backstabbers if they were involved in the last administration.
Let's see more of these firings.
Let us see.
If we fire two bad FBI actors a year it would take 750 years to fire the FBI managers and employees involved in the J6 abominations.
Cold equation.
The struggle with the Deep State is real. Glad President Trump is putting them in their place.
Good riddance. And we want the names, not only for this, but the names of FBI agents who went thru Melanie’s underwear drawer and set up the fake Top Secret
Folders to Phoograph.

“Resisted demands?” More like was insubordinate. If his boss asked for something and he refused to do it, he should have been fired immediately.
“pushed out” = “Brian, we’ve promoted you to the head of the Nome, Alaska regional office effective immediately. Here’s your plane ticket, your flight leaves in six hours so you’ll have time to pack.” ...
MORE!!~!
And this is news, why? The President has every right, reason, and even duty to make sure the agencies under the Executive Branch are in line with his philosophy and decisions.
In most businesses, if you didn’t get the promotion, they leave. Only in the government do the people who didn’t the job, remain so they help in seeing the writing on the wall.
