FBI Fires Suspected Leaker And Comey Ally James Baker

Just hours after FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe delivered private testimony to the House Intelligence Committee, his boss, FBI Director Christopher Wray, announced that the bureau’s top lawyer would be leaving his post, an attempt to bring in “new blood” to an agency whose reputation has been hopelessly compromised by revelations that agents’ partisan bias may have influenced two high-profile investigations involving President Donald Trump and his former campaign rival, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

As the Washington Post reported, the FBI’s top lawyer, James Baker, is being reassigned. WaPo says Baker’s removal is part of Wray’s effort to assemble his own team of senior advisers while he tries to defuse allegations of partisanship that have plagued the bureau in recent months.

Fired would be good; reassigned but still making a small fortune would be inadequate unless he was in an office without a phone, computer or secretary.

Drain the swamp!

Like sending the offending priest to another Diocese...

He should lose his job and become a Wal-Mart greeter.

Another dirty cop leaves the FBI. You know if Jim Comey is bitching about it on Twitter, this guy is as dirty as they come. Good ridden. Let's hope with the New Year we'll see a pile of indictments and people going to jail for everything they've done against America over the last few years. Obama is a complete ASSHOLE F-UP. He may just be the FIRST former president to end up in jail for what he did while in office.
