Two veteran FBI agents overseeing counterterrorism operations in the nation's capital have been removed from their jobs and reassigned over the handling of an investigation involving Katie Miller, the conservative podcaster and wife of senior White House adviser Stephen Miller, according to two people familiar with the move.
Michael Burgwald, the special agent in charge of counterterrorism matters at the FBI's Washington Field Office, and his deputy, Courtland Rae, were ousted from their positions by bureau leadership after investigators determined that allegedly harassing phone calls Katie Miller received from unknown individuals did not warrant further investigation, the sources said.

What are your conclusions and what do you think about this? Obviously it caught your attention for some reason.
If the agents were pulled it must have been an obvious violation of procedures. Apparently these are senior agents so something smells and those at the top must have seen something.

“According to people familiar with an incident last year, the couple grew irate with FBI officials over pushback by career agents to use bureau resources to investigate paper flyers critical of Stephen Miller that were posted in the family’s neighborhood. Like several senior Trump officials, the couple later moved into military housing.”
Seems simple to me. The way I see it ...
A family member of Trump’s top team was being harassed — perhaps threatened. The two agents didn’t think it was important.
There are Rat Party plants embedded in every single agency/department/level of the Federal government.
“removed from their jobs and reassigned “
Obama didn’t even hide doing that. Why Republicans don’t fight back harder on this blatant power grab is mind-blowing.
90+% of DC is democrat... we’re blessed we have any conservatives working in that democrat/commie sewer...
Democrat goons harassing our people isn’t minor. It’s not ‘family’ it’s political.
Ephraim Zimbalist Jr. would not approve.
Facts have no place in the Left’s thinking only how they feel(hate Trump) today.
.
Amen!
It's because they are not who you think they are.
Like the Washington Generals winning a game— Never going to happen.
Deep Staters just trying to mess with democracy, typical Democrats…..
“There are Rat Party plants embedded in every single agency/department/level of the Federal government.”
Yep. I was somewhat puzzled until this parapgraph:
“Burgwald graduated from the United States Military Academy West Point and was the recipient of FBI investigative awards, while Rae similarly rose through the ranks of the organization after a lengthy career in national security, sources said.”
That lengthy career in national security gives it away, for me. CIA deep cover plant? Zelensky deep cover plant? How would anyone in the FBI before 2024 even begin to wonder about a CIA plant? (Using “CIA” to represent the many deep state slime dwellers in DC today, as you point out.)
After Fauci, no long-time DC careerist has any credibilty.
Its Washington DC - besides Manhattan, its the most woke-brainwashed-group-think territory in America.
FBI agents saw the harassment of Miller and his wife and thought “meh, nothing new here.”
There is still a deep state. Just waiting until mid terms and beyond.
