WASHINGTON, Oct 3 (Reuters) - An FBI agent was relieved of duty for declining to arrange a "perp walk" of the bureau's former director, James Comey, in front of news media cameras after Comey was federally charged last month, four people briefed on the matter said on Friday.
Comey was charged on September 25 with making false statements and obstructing a congressional investigation, in a dramatic escalation of President Donald Trump's retribution campaign against his political enemies.
An FBI spokeswoman declined to comment on personnel matters.
Reuters could not immediately determine how or when senior FBI officials wanted to stage bringing Comey into the bureau's Washington field office. Only a summons to appear in court was issued in the case, and not an arrest warrant. However, defendants will often report to an FBI field office for booking after a court summons is issued.
Comey, who has denied wrongdoing, is due to appear in court in Alexandria, Virginia, just outside Washington, on Thursday.
An attorney for Comey declined comment.
Trump fired Comey in 2017, early in his first term in office. He has since regularly assailed Comey's handling of the FBI investigation that detailed contacts between Russians and Trump's 2016 campaign.
Trump has threatened to imprison his political rivals since he first ran for president in 2015, but the move against Comey marks the first time his administration has succeeded in securing a grand jury indictment against one of them. Trump's Justice Department is also investigating other antagonists, including New York Attorney General Letitia James and John Bolton, who served as a national security official in Trump's first term.

At least he stands for something. I can respect a person who believes in something over a automaton.

Blasts MSNBC as an ‘Ass Clown Factory of Disinformation
Hey Kash, can anyone else in your organization make an arrest? If yes, just go ahead and do it. Thanks
Just a suggestion — if there happened to be a budget problem, leading to a government shutdown, perhaps Trump could take that opportunity to layoff the entire FBI.
I’ll bet he would have no problem perp walking Trump.
Hillary would perp walk weakling James Comey right into the jailhouse herself and slam the bars shut.
Comey is an amoeba on a flea on the back of the blob beast. At least arrest a flea.
Need the 5 AM search warrant with CNN outside of his house.
“President Donald Trump’s retribution campaign against his political enemies...”. Is anyone pushing back against this false narrative yet?
Sounds similar to the allegation President Trump jumped in the front seat on Jan 6 and tried to turn the car around...
His discretion couldn’t be more accurate
Right, I wonder how many FBI agents refused to participate in those travesties , beginning no later than intercepting Geoorge Papadopoulous at the airport, who at Comey’s direction was supposed to carrying $10 k that they could nail him on , returning from Europe. If this particular agent was employed by FBI at that time, and did not resign, he’s worthy of nothing but scorn for his sudden “courage.”
Call Fox News and more conservative outlets to video the walk.
Comey deserves at least that much Justice.
Wow how squishy of you.
They should have gone full Navarro on him.
I can’t fault him for that.
“Call Fox News and more conservative outlets to video the walk.”
Yes, and then have them proclaim to the world that they were not informed, but that their phenomenal journalistic instincts led them to be at the right place at the right time. With a satellite truck.
Wow, another squish sound retreat.
Stuff it. There’s not a damn thing squishy about me.
