'What the hell is going on?' Senior FBI officials stunned and furious over abrupt McCabe departure — CNN
Brad Reed 29 JAN 2018 AT 13:40 ET

FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe was forced to step down from his post on Monday — and his departure has reportedly taken many FBI field agents off guard.

Appearing on CNN Monday, reporter Shimon Prokupecz said that he’s heard from leaders in FBI field offices across the country who say they and their teams are frustrated that they are first hearing about these resignations through news reports and not through official channels.

“This comes as a surprise to many people,” Prokupecz said of McCabe’s departure. “Certainly the initial reaction from folks in the field — and these are the field agents and the field leaders at the field offices — is that people are pretty angry right now. They are hearing about FBI leadership moves from the news.”

Prokupecz said that because news of McCabe’s departure broke in the news before it was announced internally, it has added to a sense of chaos engulfing the agency.

4. I'm wondering what recourse agents or ex-agents have

And also, if the fbi will go along to get along.

They've all gotta be 3x smarter than orangutan.

6. They should know whats going on

The FBI is being hollowed out - just like the EPA & Interior.

It's called Authoritarianism. Ask your friends at the CIA, they can walk you through where we're heading.

7. Ask Nixon how alienating the FBI worked out

Okay yeah I know he's dead. Still Trump and the GOP are in over their heads.

8. It Is Called The Slow Walk to Authoritarianism

But don’t worry. Susan Sarandon is just glad Hillary is not President.
