Former official is butt hurt about it?
Ha! ha! former official!
“the Justice Department has said it is reviewing the conduct of more than 1,500 agents”
More rank and file.
It seems that neither the Obama administration nor the Biden administration wanted to hire decent people. DEI reigned.
Yes and one of them is a real chubster. I guess physical fitness isn’t an FBI requirement.
They were reassigned, not fired. Oh the humanity.
It’s been a problem even when you had woke leftists in charge: https://www.vice.com/en/article/the-fbi-cant-find-hackers-that-dont-smoke-pot/#:~:text=And%20as%20it%20turns%20out,other%20forms%20of%20marijuana%20consumption.)
Look at something as simple as tattoos; https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/08/15/32-of-americans-have-a-tattoo-including-22-who-have-more-than-one/#:~:text=And%2032%25%20of%20adults%20have,and%20those%20who%20don‘t.
Or obesity (42% of adults):

If you formulate policies that are out of step with society, you’re going to have a hard time recruiting people.
If you say no to tattooed, blue haired, marijuana smoking, pierced, folks that never attended a BLM or Antifa protest, can hold a conversation without mentioning their race or preferred pronoun, AND you want them to be able to write using something other than crayons, as well as pass a physical fitness test, you’re asking for a lot.
Reassign? No. They should have all been fired on day 1. I don’t care if that’s half the agency.
Fire.
Them.
All.
The problem is that the Feds recruit from the "swamp".
Wow. Looks that Agent swallowed another agent whole! How did it pass the physical test? Or better yet, is there even a physical?
And it was a “bad” fake $20 at that. Obviously photo copied from what I understand.
Getting reassigned to a crappy location has been going on longer than President Trump. You can see jokes about it in older movies, etc.
Manning a radar installation in Greenland or the arctic are common jokes and I am sure reality for some.
President Trump has been in office 100 days. Both of them considerably less. You do know some things take more than a couple of days, don’t you???
Not just that but any screw up, they were protected for a year, long enough for it to blow over then nothing happened to them...
I do. Some reassurance that they are with the program would go a long way.
Well you got this today. To cure all the ills will take some time.
“… raise concern the bureau bypassed its typical disciplinary process…”
Good idea. No pink slips or black marks or demotions in the personnel file that would lead to endless reviews or even court fights. It will be argued that it’s not really punishment, just reassignment to a more productive position. Just about the worst that would happen is a loss of DC area living allowance. It might even do them good to do some fields work.
“Reassigned doesn’t mean fired - what have these people been reassigned to? What are they screwing up now?”
hopefully some job like counting the paper clips in the Nome, Alaska “regional” office ...
