The Associated Press is reporting that the FBI has fired agents who were photographed kneeling during a 2020 protest for George Floyd.
They don’t have a ton of detail, but here’s what they report:
The FBI has fired agents who were photographed kneeling at a protest in Washington that followed the 2020 death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers, three people familiar with the matter said Friday.
The bureau reassigned the agents last spring but has since fired them, said the people, who insisted on anonymity to discuss personnel matters with The Associated Press.
The number of employees dismissed was not immediately clear, but two people said it was roughly 20.
An FBI spokesman declined to comment.
The likely reason these agents weren’t fired earlier this year is that the administration has to wait at least six months before they can begin firing employees. Whatever the number, I’m glad the FBI is being proactive in getting rid of these agents who might try and obstruct President Trump and Director Patel’s agenda.
