Perhaps part of the reason the leftist media, specifically Washington Post, Politico, New York Times, Wall Street Journal (editorial pages) and CNN go bananas in their defense of the FBI silo, is because for the past decade they have collaborated so closely, even winning Pulitzer prizes together for their efforts on the Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy.
Seriously, it’s no longer a matter of journalists reporting on FBI activity. In this era, we see FBI embeds in the role of journalists transcribing dictation directly from within the machinery of the silo itself. The publications are vessels, messaging boards for FBI narrative engineer outputs. Here’s the latest demonstration.
Adam Goldman and Devlin Barrett, two of the original stenographers for the Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy theory, are now pushing an article using ONE anonymous FBI source who claims to have been told to resign, as representative of thousands of FBI top officials around the country being terminated. [We could be so lucky]
[…] In an email to colleagues, one of the senior agents said he had learned he would be dismissed “from the rolls of the F.B.I.” as soon as Monday morning. “I was given no rationale for this decision, which, as you might imagine, has come as a shock,” he wrote.
Senior F.B.I. agents had been bracing for potentially swift changes under President Trump given Mr. Patel’s past promise to reshape the institution. He has vowed to empty out the F.B.I. headquarters building and turn it into a museum.
The move is remarkable in part because it is happening before a director has been confirmed to take charge of the bureau, and the quick and unexpected nature of the requests has left employees badly shaken.
F.B.I. directors have more latitude than most agency chiefs in whom they place into senior positions, but they typically do so gradually. Until senators vote on Mr. Patel’s nomination, Brian Driscoll is the bureau’s acting director. (more)
All I can say to any upper echelon FBI let go is, Buh Bye Felicia…
On GatewayPundit today: the purge continues:
FBI whistleblower Kyle Seraphin revealed last night that the purge went beyond the six Executive Assistant Directors; it also included 25 Special Agents in Charge.
According to Seraphin, there are three individual leadership positions at the top of the FBI: the Director, the Deputy Director, and the Associate Deputy Director.
Below that, there are seven “branch heads” known as Executive Assistant Directors, while the Special Agents in Charge (SACs) lead each of 56 field offices across the country.
This is very Good News.
The SAIC in Richmond, VA, especially.
Any media source that published a story that proves to be slander or misinformation should be sued into oblivion. The obscurity of “anonymous sources” but any media needs to face the scrutiny of being legally viable sources, or the resulting slander should be subject to a lawsuit. If a “whistleblower” has the integrity of speaking out, they should have the integrity to show their face.
The title of this episode is exactly what the FBI has become!
You must have have a “story board” all over your walls. How you can connect the dots is mind-boggling! Well, one thing’s for sure: We all knew Evil would not go quietly. There was always gonna be an “insurance policy” just like in President Trump’s first term. But sunlight IS the best disinfectant…and God’s got this!
Who do they think the audience is for this? Don’t they realize that most people are happy about it and have no sympathy for the fib official being fired? The average person on the street sees this and thinks “just one? Fire them all!” And who can they blame for that? Only themselves.
IMESHO, the collapse of the misleading stories form the media would be a good thing for the Republic. The only good thing about articles from the mainstream media is to understand what the morons in the media are thinking.
Any media source that published a story that proves to be slander or misinformation should be sued into oblivion.
Don’t let the door hit you where the Good Lord split you. Buh -bye
well, that image didn’t copy over correctly
If just a handful were privately noticed the individual reaching out and crying to the New York Times should know he/she was not authorized to do so and violated procedure. The lack of self awareness is telling and he/she ought to be removed ASAP.
Trump needs to put clauses into their removal. Anyone offering up their grudges to Euro secret services will be tried as traitors, and jailed!
Water boys for the deep state having their ass handed to them is just too shocking for them.
Goodness. Real tough guys…… right?
Cry babies being exposed.
I regard this a mere crumb of an appetizer of what turns out a feast so huge it will take a generation to digest.
Excuse me whilst I belly back to the FBI termination buffet bar!!
Delicioso!!
And having been terminated, down-sized, Ch-7’ed, Ch-11’ed, & laid off myself, welcome to the damned real-world, FBI turds!!
Forgive me, but I shed no tears for any of you bastards!!
Great! More please!!
Too bad, so sad.
I really don’t care Margaret.
Some people did some things.
“No reasonable prosecutor….”
“What difference, at this point, does it make?”

Do a search. There are a bunch of different venders.
Why is anyone surprised? Tim Thibault is only a floater in the cesspool of senior, self-aggrandizing rogues using government power and taxpayer dollars to pursue “enemies of the state.”
FBI is the fifth column…
Either by omission or commission… the entire upper echelon is incriminated in the long train of abuses against the American people. Fire them all. And fire all their immediate successors: they are the ones who shut-up knowing they were next in line.
It’s the third tier we should be giving a shot at this point – and keeping them on a very short leash to prove themselves.
Third tier? Surely you jest. The whole agency needs pink slips and indictments.
Everyone in the photo taking a knee to Black Lives Matter comes to mind! Facial recognition! Praise God!!! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Kneel Team Six

Yep, I don’t disagree. If reform is impossible, than move the entire mission to US Marshall Service… and post job openings, with lie detectors and a set of standard corruption questions.
The “third tier” are the DEI recruits. The destruction they can ultimately cause makes the current first and second tiers look like pikers. The FBI like all government employment needs to be revamped, changed and viewed as a service and not a career. That said, I don’t believe the Founding Fathers ever intended/envisioned our federal government becoming this country’s largest corporation whose evolving mission until recently was to exploit the US taxpayer while facilitating the demise of the US citizen for the benefit of the privileged (WEF, NWO, UN, EU, etc.). Thank God for POTUS Trump and MAGA.
Kash will sort it out (if given the chance). I see my “third tier” comment really stuck a “third rail” across the community.
I’ve long advocated folding the entire FBI mission into a much more accountable US Marshall Service, with nobody guaranteed a job during the interview process. I still stand behind that, since I don’t believe reform is possible at the agency. I believe the FBI transgressions have tainted it beyond repair.
But my point above is that all those in positions to have stood up to the corruption should be fired. I picked “third tier” as a representative of bypassing the wannabes that hung on knowing Trump would clean house.
Empty suits all. Now put on your WalMart uniform.
They will still get their 6 figure pensions…
If they have 20 years of service.
They should have taken the severance package that Pres Trump was offering. Well, stupid is as stupid does, it’s said.
The apoplectic enemy media madarins had imbedded leakers in PDJT’s first administration. This time around they have jumped the shark and are going to fabricate their own leaks.
I’m dying to see what Isikoff and David Korn will have to write about.
You know, from Mother Jones. Although, when I refer to them and the magazine,
I change the second word and lengthen it. And end it with “r”.
Those two have made their careers on being in the right place at the right time.
With cameras, tape recorders on the ready. What happens when all their imbedded
sources dry up? What happens when all the leaks received some DamTite?
Hope that this is another spillover from OUR “days of rage”
Also, it gives me an opportunity to slam Korn again. An enjoyable past time.
The guy is just unlikeable looking. Always has an expression like he’s trying
to make it to the loo before the turd comes out
“Shocked”? Isn’t that admitting oblivion on their part, or at least contradicting their characterization of the existential threat DJT posed to decent society? How does Devlin Barrett show his face in public? These people…
April 11 2017
I remember that day as the day my tingling spidey sense (ICA + Buzzfeed’s Steele Dossier) turned to alarm bells blaring.
Took several more months to understand, thanks in large part to this site, why they did this when they did.
Gee, what’s it feel like fellas to believe, at any time, you can hear a knock on your door (office door in this case), see an FBI agent (boss in this case), tell you to pack up, you’re going to be losing your job, possibly your family? No right to reply, ask any questions as to why, just get your stuff. Seems the shoe might be put on the right foot after all.
Disband and replace the FBI.
It was founded with the stroke of a pen, it can be removed as easy.
It’s corrupt top to bottom, I don’t buy into the spin of “it’s just a few bad apples”
Destroy it.
It’s definitely more than a few bad apples.
The problem is, how does anyone know the good from the bad?
Who’s a mole digging in deeper, biding their time until President Trump is gone?
I don’t care, it needs to be torn out by the roots.
Absolutely! It’s function is practically duplicated in every state’s “ (police) bureau of investigation. This lends to operational creep, who’s in charge and malfeasance. . I’m all for law and order, however, this agency (and more) just got too big for its mission. Go fight & win, Mr Patel!
The irony is that *they* think that we think firing the top tier in the FBI would be a bad thing.
The demonically smug face of Peter Strozk is forever burned into my mind as representative of all FBI.
A thousand likes on this one! I was just thinking of him and Lisa Page within the last few days, remembering how frustrating that time was.
He and Miz McCord, two faces of evil…in a sea of treason.
I see these reporters making claim that Patel will clean out the upper FBI as getting ahead of the game of confirmation. I think they will reject Patel as FBI Director and MSM will use this as an excuse. Sundance has put in way more research than me, so i’m very skeptical of my own opinion, but never the less, it’s my gut feeling.
Time will tell.
Still, it’s a good sign that the acting director has taken action in this instance.
Will there be more to come? Hopefully so, regardless of who eventually becomes the FBI Director.
I believe President Trump is moving so quickly due to the Federal Vacancies Reform Act (FVRA), which includes provisions that freezes firing or “purging” actions for a set time after new Senate-confirmed Department leaders take over the agencies. For the Department of Justice, (includes the FBI) this period is 120 days.
I bet the affected employees were counting on not being fired before the Heads of FBI & DOJ were sworn in. That would have given them that 120 day window of untouchability. President Trump is doing it BEFORE that event.
Kash is at 95% on Polymarket. He’s getting in. The enemy is slowly realizing the American public is behind Trump and they are going to have to capitulate. They can win a few battles here and there, like rescinding the NGO funds, but overall they will lose this war. Let’s hope we can maintain these wins for a few more decades.
Just out of curiosity, where is RFK on Polymarket?
NO! The NGOs should get no more funding. They’re one of the biggest problems of the border crises.
When you start to feel compassion remember, Comey, Page, Strok, McCabe. Rogues need removed…
McCabe but I think he is finally gone?
Burn it all down.
Thank you sir, may I have another
It’s high time to examine the FBI, CIA, and MSM books and find out who’s on their payroll. It may take some effort to figure out how they laundered the money to pay all these “journalists” in the MSM.
Mockingbird never went away.
Isikoff, Korn, Rachel Madcow…..
Likely due to the Reg regarding no actions for120 days with the change of agency heads (CFR) as well as sending clear messages to the Senate that the worst will happen if they don’t confirm Trumps cabinet picks.
Imho.
It’s great if Trump does this before Kash gets there. Clear the decks of the #resistance leadership. Kash can start with a few less enemy forces operating inside the FBI. Many will remain, but he doesn’t lose political capital with a phony scandal on his first day of firings.
Remember how Bush fired US Attorneys and the media turned it into a scandal for AG Gonzales and Bush complete with Congressional hearings and a Special Prosecutor? If Trump acts quickly, he can avoid all of that. I’ve said this for YEARS, even prior to 2017: fire everybody, fire them fast, and do so across the Administration. It’s too many targets for the media to defend. And the public will rightly see it as the President deciding who he wants working in his Administration.
Trump was elected on a specific promise: destroy the deep state. He’s using his political capital to do so. And he’s not burning Kash’s in the process.
A widespread firing makes it about reform whereas targeted firings are easier to attack. Essentially, “Yes, we fired 1,000 agents as part of our plans to reform the FBI” is an easier sell than “we fired the ones who participated in the illegal and politically motivated MAL raid”.
Operation: Decapitation.
Hopefully, the reporting is true and that the firings are widespread, nationwide, and involve thousands of employees.
should be more to come,
JMO.
” thousands of FBI top officials around the country being terminated. [We could be so lucky]”?
THINK HUGE ……… 10s of thousands globalists / communists out of The Executive Branch in 2025 ……….. believe it.
10/27/16 5:08 PM Page texts to Strzok: “On with Devlin still”
10/28/16 1:19 PM Page texts to Strzok: “Still on with Devlin. Mike’s phone is on fire.”
10/28/16 1:29 PM Strzok texts to Page: “You might want to tell Devlin he should turn on CNN, there’s news going on ;(”
(10/28/16 was the day news broke of a revived investigation of Clinton’s emails prompted by Carlos Danger’s laptop months earlier.)
I don’t understand why they are upset. It is not like they can’t find a job.
I understand there are plenty of jobs and more coming open for picking crops, mowing lawns and washing dishes.
I don’t understand why they are surprised.
The Exodus…
What’s funny is they’re all crying, “But we don’t understand why!” 😭
And then the declassifications and other sunlight will start…because they’re no longer in a position to block public release of what they did.
Exactly.
My only concern in all of this was that blanket firings would catch non-offenders in the net. So far, it looks like the planning for all of this has been pretty thorough. I have one friend who has communicated that one person he knows was set-up to be fired. Since I don’t work at the agency he supports hard to get at ground truth.
The strategy will sweep up a few good guys, but you can always go back and hire them again. It helps immunize Trump against charges of politicization. “Hey, look, we removed everyone. Not just a certain group.”
They all had a responsibility to speak out, but chose not to.
Freaking Devlin Barrett… the fact that FNYT even has him on staff is all you need to know…
I know some don’t like Candace, but she touches on how they destroy lives, and carried the Russia collusion/Me Too hoax. Its really worth watching, because it shows them being revealed.
Next up: Get rid of the Muslim Brotherhood still lingering around from the Obama era.
That’s a great job for DHS…for starters.
Shocked? Are all libtards dumb as bricks?
At least six senior leaders who were promoted under former Director Christopher Wray have been instructed to retire, resign, or face termination by Monday.
https://discernreport.com/members-of-christopher-wrays-fbi-leadership-posse-told-to-retire-resign-or-be-fired-by-monday/
And the best news for the country we could hear today. Clean it pout from top to bottom.
When the apple tree produces this many bad apples you cut it down with a chainsaw, not with a ax and remove the stump.
Well, Bye!
Quite the fiction writers…trying to gin up the Public to go around as though their hair was on fire.
A mandate was given…..We still want it done.
Trying to get ahead like this only reinforces our understanding of your “creative processes.”
Pretty sure they don’t hire the best people…
Or have fired the worst.
Legion level bloodbath, hardly. Getting rid of any and all corrupt fbi agents, regardless of seniority will always be a great day.
Boeing said in November it would have to lay off 17,000.
One, three, 100 FBI to exit?
Pffft.
Perhaps by making the topic very toxic, they hope to forestall some of the firings.
Goldman?
No surprise here.
Maybe keep the crime lab but give all the investigative field work back to other agencies that existed before the FBI was created. Let those agencies after careful vetting select whatever former FBI agents fit their requirements. Whatever is left over can become mall cops.
It would be wise to wait until Patel is confirmed. Agitating this may only give pause to a Senator or two.
The collective “victimhood mindset” continues, completely incapable of logical reasoning. In 1994 Bill Clinton initiated a Reduction in Force (RIF) common in the corporate world, of 1.88 million federal workers, a 12% reduction in the federal workforce.
But in the world of left nutters, stats and facts are irrelevant…
OK, so if the legacy media is enraged, I don’t see a problem. PDJT must be doing a bangup job. More please!
Let’s see. If anyone became president after having the DOJ and FBI going after them for so long, would it be SANE to allow the people who did it to keep their jobs?
