CNN is reporting that the FBI is now firing both senior officials and agents who opposed President Trump in the past, and that includes the former acting FBI Director who didn’t want the agency to reveal the names of agents who worked on the J6 cases.

Here’s more:

Two senior FBI officials, including one who initially resisted the Trump administration’s effort to gather the names of agents who worked on cases related to the US Capitol attack on January 6, 2021, are being fired, multiple sources tell CNN.

Brian Driscoll, who was acting FBI director in the weeks before now-Director Kash Patel was confirmed, is being dismissed, sources said. Steve Jensen, the acting director in charge of the Washington Field Office, is also being fired, according to two separate sources.

The administration is also firing other agents in the bureau this week who were perceived to be opposed to Trump in the past, according to three sources familiar with the agency’s actions.

The FBI and its Washington field office declined to comment. CNN has reached out to the New York field office for comment.

I believe I read earlier this year that a new administration must wait around six months before they can fire employees, which is why they began firing probationary employees first. I’m guessing this is why these officials and agents are only now getting the boot.

But kudos to Director Patel for doing this, because it must be done.
