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

Epoch Times:
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. more

  1. How does it work with the Federal Gov’t? Is he off the hook in retirement, or is he still subject to prosecution if it comes to that?

    For most crimes committed under an employer, the former employee doesn’t acquire immunity with retirement or by just leaving.

  2. Remember the scandal that erupted in 2013 when the IRS was found to be targeting conservative organizations for harassment?
    Lois Lerner, the head of the IRS unit at the heart of the scandal, retired with a full pension, and “no disciplinary action” was taken against “any” IRS employee.

    Expect the same results regarding the DOJ, FBI, CIA, NSA or any other corrupt Federal Agency.

    Do expect one of the new 87,000 IRS employees knocking on your door.
