Though the two officials leaving the bureau are discussed in high-profile text messages between other agents that are seen as anti-Trump, there’s no indication that either departure is related to the recent flap. | Getty

Two more senior government officials who were prominently discussed in text messages exchanged by FBI personnel formerly assigned to the Trump-Russia investigation are leaving their positions.

Mike Kortan, FBI assistant director for public affairs, is set to retire next week, an FBI spokeswoman confirmed. In addition, the chief of the Justice Department’s Counterintelligence and Export Control Section, David Laufman, resigned this week, a department spokesman said.

So the head of the anti - espionage section of the FBI was pushed out by Russian assets?

I'm SHOCKED!

1. To me, this is part of a massive counterintelligence operation that's underway.

It means all these retiring leaving FBI peeps are disappearing into the extremely opaque Mueller fog

3. I agree

2. If its not related why are they stepping down.

4. it's related

exactly how is the interesting question.

The tRumpers say it is because of misconduct.

More likely either pressure from Trumps flunkies, or Mueller clearing the deck for action.

5. So which do you presume more likely.
