It was reported yesterday that the FBI fired three agents who worked for Joe Biden hack Jack Smith, and may have been involved in spying on the phone records of Republican members of Congress.

Here’s the report from NBC News:

The FBI took personnel action against three special agents who worked in connection with former special counsel Jack Smith’s probe of Donald Trump, firing at least two, three people familiar with the matter told NBC News.

All three agents were previously named in documents released by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, about “Arctic Frost,” an FBI probe that was the precursor to the Smith investigation, which resulted in two federal criminal cases against Trump: one for his handling of classified documents and the other involving his attempts to overturn his 2020 election loss, which ended in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

One of the fired FBI employees, a combat veteran who was months away from becoming eligible for retirement, was called back to the office after having left for the day and informed of the dismissal, a person familiar with the matter told NBC News. The other dismissed agent was also called back to the office after having left for the day, the person said.

Patel said Tuesday night on Fox News that some agents involved in subpoenaing the phone toll records of members of Congress had been fired, though he did not say how many.

“You’re darn right I fired those agents; you’re darn right I blew up CR-15, the public corruption squad, that led the weaponization at the Washington Field Office,” Patel said.

Contacted by NBC News Wednesday, the FBI said it “cannot comment on personnel matters.”

I love how reactive our new FBI Director is when they find out old information like this. I’m sure these FBI agents would say they were just “following orders”, but this was obviously beyond the pale and they should’ve never done it in the first place. Kudos to Kash Patel.
