Top FBI Official Steps Down as Republicans Prepare to Probe Into Bureau

By: Samantha Flom, The Epoch Times, December 6, 2022:

A top FBI official has stepped down just as House Republicans have announced plans to investigate recent operations and actions at the bureau.

In a Dec. 2 post to his LinkedIn profile, Steven D’Antuono, assistant director in charge of the FBI Washington Field Office, announced his retirement.

“After a 26-year, 10-month career with the FBI, I chose to retire,” D’Antuono wrote. “Yesterday was my last day.”

Attributing the decision to wanting to spend more time with his family, he added, “Deciding to retire was not easy, it is extremely difficult to say farewell to the mission and the wonderful people I work with, but in making my decision I knew it is time to hand the reins over to the next generation of FBI employees.”

News of D’Antuono’s retirement comes just weeks after Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee named him as one of nine FBI employees they would “require prompt testimony” from as they seek to investigate potential political bias at the bureau.

“Over the past twenty-one months, we have made several requests for information and documents concerning operations and actions of the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” the congressmen wrote in a Nov. 12 letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray.

“To date, you have ignored these requests, or you have failed to respond sufficiently,” the letter continues. “Please be aware that if our requests remain outstanding at the beginning of the 118th Congress, the Committee may be forced to resort to compulsory process to obtain the material we require.”

So far, the committee has requested testimony from at least 42 Biden administration officials, including employees in the Justice Department, Department of Education, Department of Homeland Security, and the White House.

The FBI sand DOJ are guilty of treason. The villains need to be executed. No more fake trials in D.C. Military tribunals and fast public executions. These are vile traitors.

Hang them high!

The Federal Bureau of Investigation was once a good decent all American law and order institution.

Now it’s been terribly corrupt by subversive influence of such Socialists ,Communist pro -Sharia characters as Nancy Pelosi and that overseas villain ,George Soros ,and likewise the FBI ,as seen in that invasion /raid that the FBI is now a tool organization of Kamala Harris with their comrades of the Red/Green alliance.

To corruption of the FBI by the insidious sinister forces .just mentioned above, is so extensive that reform would be able to straighten that now crooked institution.

Therefore, that means that the FBI can no longer be numbered or counted as all American organization engaging in the right actions for the Republic of the United States and the security and safety of the American citizens.

Such horrendous as this is a reflection of the Wisdom found in the Bible. Which reads, “What is crooked cannot be made straight, and what is lacking cannot be numbered.” Ecclesiastes 1:15. [N.K.J.V.]

It never was a good and decent agency. It was founded by horribly corrupt people for horribly corrupt purposes, just to spy on, blackmail and sabotage and destroy their political enemies.

The tragedy might be that America has reached the end of her being a Republic. With the now corrupted FBI with its abuse of its power as observed that it took a sinister part in the insidious set up against the patriots on January 6, 2021 and the later FBI harassment of American Patriots who attended that January 6th rally and the Biden gulag for tyrant Joe’s political prisoners from the day of 1/6/22 and now the FBI raid invasion of residents of Donald Trump, along which many awful other event sines that have occurred since Biden took Office on 1/20/21 those are omens that are overwhelming that United States is come to the very end of her Republic. This is indeed, very tragic and sad.

With the infected and thoroughly infiltrated leftist FBI and considering all the terrible harm Joe Biden has done to the United States is still doing and will continue to do is so very horrendously terrible that the damage might be irreversible . I really hope I’m wrong.

President imposter Joe Biden is leading America to ruin. The terrible harm that Biden is doing to the USA might even be irreversible. As Abraham Lincoln had said, “You can’t unscramble eggs.”

The FBI is no longer the grand all American patriotic law enforcement institution to it once was in the past. Now it’s only been influenced thoroughly infiltrated and corrupted and infected by the politically correct insidious and sinister activists of the Red/Green alliance and now the FBI is their tool as well as the stooge organization acting for Nancy Pelosi and the others of the “power elate” un-American subversives as her.

Probing may be one thing. Following through and actually doing something s another. Trey Gowdy was a JOKE. He was all Talk and No action. Trey’s actions were a real letdown. He lost his credibility.

Over a generation, the DOJ, FBI and Cia have been subverted and turned into an apparatus of the DemoNazi Party. They mete out a multi-tiered system of injustice. They defend and protect DemNazis at all cost, and entrap, extort and illegally persecute political opponents.

These agencies are out of control and beyond repair. The country is spinning off into oblivion. We are passed the tipping point.

Believe me, NOTHING will happen to any of these treasonous TRAITORS…!! Our government is replete with RINOS and Demoncraps so NOTHING will be done and NOTHING will improve in our favor…!! INSANITY REIGNS in our COUNTRY..!! It’s as DEEP STATE CORRUPT as it can get..!! OR, maybe it’s going to get worse..!! THAT would be my guess..!!

And the consequences of the revelation of all the treasonous corruption will be????

What, a few strongly worded letters of reprimand for a few personnel file folders? A resignation with full pension to be rewarded with a half-million-dollar per year do-nothing consultant job?

Yeah, OK.

The DOJ IG investigated and didn’t find much, Durham investigated and didn’t find anything new, and Trump’s lawsuit against the ‘deep state’ was thrown out of court. You really think Gym Jordan will find anything? Don’t hold your breath.

My opinion(s) are avaiable; essentially the similar response – way back when POTUS # 37 Richard Nixon was pilloried out of the Office for ‘ small potatoes ‘ compared to what the Biden Administration & in Canada the continuation of the Trudeau – Legacy from 1974 well into the next millienium. ” when the going gets tough — The CYA gets going. ” _ MikeSr
