Corrupt prosecutor Andrew Weissmann said President Trump cannot fire FBI personnel without cause after the president went scorched earth and terminated dozens of officials.
President Trump fired David Sundberg, the head of the FBI Washington Field Office on Friday.
Several top FBI executives promoted by director Christopher Wray were told today to resign or retire, and told they will be demoted or reassigned if they don’t leave, multiple sources tell me. This includes about a half dozen “executive assistant directors,” who are some of the…

David Sundberg is the highest ranking FBI official to be fired in Trump’s second term. Trump fired FBI Director James Comey during his first term.
Sundberg oversaw the January 6 investigation and the investigation into the so-called DNC pipe bomber.
It was later reported that 88 FBI officials were walked out of their offices Friday evening.
Important Clarification: 88 is the number of FBI agents and top managers who ACTUALLY were walked out of their offices today, including those at the Washington Field Office, Palm Beach, and Miami FBI offices.

Andrew Weissmann fumed as he reacted to Trump’s decision to clean house and fire dozens of career FBI officials.
“I’d say the main thing in talking to you as a lawyer and the former FBI general counsel, I dealt with employment issues day in and day out at the FBI. Everything that you are hearing that from Ken, it’s illegal,” Andrew Weissmann said.
“It is against the rules and the law. It’s against civil service rules. You cannot fire career FBI personnel without cause. It is simply not possible. And the idea that you have the acting deputy attorney general of the United States doing something that is against the rules. It’s against the law. The story these purges that you’re talking about violate the law when you said, Jen, these are not political people. These are not at will employees. They have civil service protections. You cannot do that. Creating a list of thousands of FBI agents and personnel who worked on January 6th cases so they can be targeted is illegal. This is something that cannot happen,” Weissmann said.
“And it’s happening within our Justice Department. I mean, I cannot say just how significant this is because this is the weaponization of the Justice Department that we’re seeing right before our eyes,” Weissmann said.
