Top FBI Officials Told to Quit or Be Fired

WASHINGTON - MARCH 09: The seal of the F.B.I. hangs in the Flag Room at the bureau's headquaters March 9, 2007 in Washington, DC. F.B.I. Director Robert Mueller was responding to a report by the Justice Department inspector general that concluded the FBI had committed 22 violations in its collection of information through the use of national security letters. The letters, which the audit numbered at 47,000 in 2005, allow the agency to collect information like telephone, banking and e-mail records without a judicially approved subpoena.

Several top FBI officials were reportedly told Thursday that they have three choices: Resign, retire, or be fired.

According to a report from NBC News, FBI executives promoted by former FBI Director Christopoher Wray, were given marching orders by the Trump administration. However, the news outlet notes that because they are career civil servants, they are unable to be fired without cause.

The report notes that at least two heads of field offices located in Miami and Las Vegas have been targeted.

Spencer Evans, a special agent in charge of the FBI’s Las Vegas field office, reportedly said in a memo obtained by NBC News that he was “shocked” and given no reason behind his dismissal.

“I was informed by FBIHQ today that the executive leadership at the Department of Justice plans to dismiss me from the rolls of the FBI, along with several other FBI executives, as soon as Monday Morning. I was given no rationale for this decision, which, as you might imagine, has come as a shock,” Evans said.

It was further reported that a current FBI official called the actions “hugely disruptive” and pointed out there is a lot of anger amongst those officials who aren’t considered “political figures.”

Last week, President Donald Trump fired approximately 18 inspector generals, which included watchdogs for the State Department, the Labor Department, and the Department of Health and Human Services. The president reportedly defended his move to terminate the employment of those fired, saying “some were unfair of were not doing the job.”

Career attorneys at the Justice Department involved in his prosecution, were also fired, and according to NBC News, the move has now raised alarms that Trump is going through with his “threats of retribution” against his anyone who has challenged him the past.

Trump’s pick to FBI head Kash Patel, said during his confirmation hearing before Senate that he would not be taking any “retributive actions” if confirmed.
