Six Out Of Seven Executive Assistant Directors and 25 Special Agents in Charge Out at FBI According to FBI Whistleblower
While Kash Patel was undergoing his confirmation hearing as the new FBI Director, significant changes were happening within the FBI. Reports indicate that at least six high-level FBI officials were removed or asked to resign. This follows recent dismissals at other agencies, including the Department of Justice (DOJ), the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). In total, a dozen employees at the DOJ were fired, focusing mainly on those who were involved in politically charged cases against President Trump. The NLRB also saw dismissals, including key officials appointed by the current administration. The EEOC faced its first firings by a president since its creation, leaving the agency without a quorum.
FBI whistleblower Kyle Seraphin revealed that the shake-up extended beyond just the high-level executives; it also involved 25 Special Agents in Charge, who oversee the agency's field offices across the nation. Each of the FBI's 56 field offices is managed by a Special Agent in Charge. One of the agents affected was Spencer Evans, who led the Las Vegas office and was involved in a high-profile case concerning a Green Beret's suspicious death. Evans also denied Seraphin a religious exemption from the COVID vaccine, which contributed to Seraphin's suspension.
Seraphin highlighted the firings of a group of former agents labeled as "The Suspendables," including agents Steve Friend and Garrett O’Boyle, who were suspended after whistleblowing incidents related to the FBI's actions against pro-life individuals and the agency's handling of domestic terrorism statistics. There are concerns among former officials about potential partisan politics emerging within the agency, which traditionally had limited political appointments.
Seraphin also suggested that Kash Patel could potentially be well-received by FBI employees. He indicated that Patel might become a director who genuinely represents the interests of the agents, contrasting with former director James Comey. While Patel was highlighted as a key figure in the agency's future, Brian Driscoll was acknowledged as the acting director, who has experience in high-level positions within the FBI.
In conclusion, the FBI is undergoing significant leadership changes, coinciding with the confirmation of a new director, amidst broader staffing changes across various government agencies. The situation has sparked conversations about the impact of these changes on the agency's integrity and the potential introduction of partisanship within its ranks.
