Re: Goodbye to All That – My Resignation from the FBI
#2> On May 31 of this year, in a series of phone calls beginning at nine in the morning and ending that afternoon, the newly installed Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Norfolk Field Office, Dominique Evans, made clear to me that, at the direction of Dan Bongino, my career with the organization had—for all intents and purposes—come to an end.
Doesn’t sound like a resignation

Splitting hairs. It’s a resignation if they haven’t formally fired the person, which it sounds like they hadn’t.
And it’s beside the point, which is that right-wing cable news gasbags are now running the country.

#5So…they wanted him to take a polygraph interview regarding the nature of his relationship with Peter Strzok, and he resigned instead, did I understand that correctly?

#6If you make it far enough, you get to the part where they talk about what they are going to do about it.
> I’m looking forward to exploring all of these issues over the next few months in writing, in engagements with the public, and by other means.
It seems they don’t believe that their name will be added to the list as a “persona non grata” who will be toxic for others to associate with. For the sake of democracy, I certainly hope they will not be another name on the list.
> In that way, I hope, I can continue my service to the United States and—of equal importance to me, at this point in my life—to those who still carry FBI credentials.

#7> I had served as a field supervisor over a counterintelligence squad in the Washington Field Office.
Counter-intel has a shelf life of around three months in the DC area. It isn't like there weren't multiple opportunities for the FEEB to do something. Oleg Deripaska had multiple properties in the US, including one in NYC and one across the street from Kellyanne Conway near 30th and Massachusetts Ave in DC. Deripaska visited the US on a diplomatic passport multiple times in 2017-2018 and no-one found anything on him? And Charles McGonigal, a retired NYC FBI agent pleaded guilty in 2023 to providing services to Deripaska, who was under US sanctions?

They informed him of an intent to demote him if he remained in the FBI, even taking the polygraph. The alternative to demotion was to resign. So he resigned, and now he's speaking out about it.

He was a senior G-man. He knows the polygraph is bullshit.
